The story
Il était une fois toi et moi serves classic French and modern cuisine at Chaussée de Nivelles 13 in Arquennes, La Louvière, Belgium. The Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026 recognises good quality cooking at good value, a clear reason to make the drive for a meal here.
Chef Mathieu Lisart has extensive experience and leads the kitchen. Gault&Millau scored the restaurant 13 for 2026, describing it as a pleasant stop on the main road. The lunch draws more than business diners, thanks to careful preparation.
The à la carte includes sea bass gravlax with cauliflower pickles. A cod wonton also appears on the menu.
