Huy, a town in the Walloon Region, Belgium

 I love these small towns on the banks of the River La Meuse, in the French-speaking region of Belgium (Wallonia).

This end of April was a bit cloudy. But the town of Huy has plenty of small and unique shops which are a delight for window-shopping, and to buy local high-quality produce, including handicrafts you can only find in these less urban areas. To have a beer brewed in the region in the main square is a delight as well.

The visit to the town cathedral is a must. It has huge and beautiful stained glass windows.

We had lunch at La Tartine au Beurre. TripAdvisor has a good number of positive comments about this restaurant. But we were not impressed. The house lady was not a model of smiling. Just functional. The steak was big but overcooked, and the fish plate had nothing special to write home about. The 3-course menu comes at Euro 27,00 plus a bottle of Syrah wine at € 28,00 (recommended). The positives are the proximity to the Cathedral, the quietness of the dining-room and the easy parking.
