The story

Caudalie Liège: French Cuisine, Wine Pairings and Gault&Millau 14

Caudalie sits at Rue Saint-Jean-en-Isle 6 in Liège, Belgium, where it holds 14 points from Gault&Millau for 2026. The French kitchen is run by chef Simon Poletto and sommelier Manon Moullet, who have worked together since 2021.

Chef Simon Poletto's cooking

Simon Poletto cooks with precision and draws out each ingredient through unexpected but balanced pairings. Sauces carry much of the work here, adding depth and character to every plate. The kitchen works with fine seafood and carefully selected meats, and the menu follows the seasons.

Wine and the dining room

Manon Moullet leads the dining room and curates a wine list that moves between established labels and smaller producers. Her pairings are meant to complement the cooking, and they are poured in a spirit of sharing. Bottles range from Alsace rieslings to Rhône and Italian reds, and the list changes over time.
