Brasserie de Klynhoeve, French restaurant in Retie, Belgium
Brasserie de Klynhoeve is a French restaurant in Retie, Belgium, set in a quiet area near a castle moat. The building has a simple exterior, and inside there is a warm dining room with soft lighting and a terrace built above the water.
The building was first mentioned in the 16th century as a barn used to collect tithes from local farmers, close to the castle of Rethy. Later, the farmstead supplied food to the castle and was eventually turned into the present-day restaurant.
The dining room keeps a home-like feel with simple furniture and small decorative touches that make guests settle in easily. A separate space for larger groups shows how local families and friends gather here for shared meals without feeling crowded.
It is best to book a table in advance, especially on weekends, because the room fills up quickly. Parking is available nearby, the entrance is accessible for people with reduced mobility, and the pace of service allows for a relaxed meal.
The tables stand directly above the water of the former castle moat, so guests can look down at the water while eating. This unusual position comes from the building's old role as part of a farm that served the nearby castle.
