The story

Le Roannay – Michelin-Starred Modern French Cuisine in Francorchamps, Belgium

Le Roannay

Just 800 metres from the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, Le Roannay has stood for nearly a century. After a full renovation, this legendary establishment retains its soul of yesteryear while offering contemporary comfort. At its heart is a gastronomic restaurant that earned One Michelin Star in 2026, led by Chef Mathieu Vande Velde.

The kitchen’s philosophy is clear: authentic and refined Modern French cuisine that gives pride of place to noble products and highlights local flavours. The menu changes with the seasons and market availability, ensuring each visit feels of the moment. Guests can choose from several tasting journeys—the Discovery Menu, La Forge, the 1926 Menu, or the more extensive Signature Menu—each beginning with a prologue and ending with an epilogue. Dishes such as white asparagus with rhubarb and confit egg yolk, or roasted John Dory with oyster béarnaise, speak to a chef who balances precision with deep respect for ingredients.

Beyond the dining room, Chef Vande Velde regularly welcomes guests for cooking classes, where participants prepare a three-course menu under his guidance, then enjoy the meal with wine in the starred restaurant. It is a rare chance to learn directly from a Michelin-starred chef in an intimate setting.

The restaurant also offers package stays that combine an overnight in a premium room with the Signature six-course menu and breakfast, making Le Roannay a destination for those seeking both relaxation and exceptional dining. With its combination of history, warm hospitality, and a kitchen that continues to earn top recognition, this Francorchamps address is a genuine hotspot for gastronomy.
