The story
Comptoir de l'Eau Vive is a Belgian bistro at place des Jardins de Baseilles 14 in Erpent, on the edge of Namur. Michelin awarded it a Bib Gourmand in 2026 for good quality, good value cooking.
The kitchen mixes brasserie classics with local produce and sharing plates, and the menu shifts slightly each day with the freshest ingredients. Gault&Millau gives it 14.5 for 2026 and points to morel mushrooms stuffed with poultry in a vin jaune sauce, and crispy pan-fried veal sweetbreads.
A long bar faces the open kitchen in a contemporary room that feels relaxed. Manager Anouck, a wine enthusiast, keeps the list balanced and affordable. Ask for the cocktail of the day. Outdoor seating is also available.
