La Maison Renardy is a real gem, lost between Matongé and the european headquarters. The dream place to drink tea or coffee, spend the whole afternoon talking while watching the rain against the windows. More than twenty different coffees, and more than a hundred types of teas, from everywhere around the world. The teapots are serverd with homemade chocolates, and a little hourglass comes with, to let you know when the tea is ready. All the teas are served by the teapot for 3,20 euros. If you choose to share one, you’ll still have at least two cups each, so its a pretty good deal. And of course, you can buy tea and coffee by weight.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is just great! The dishes are more Japanese inspired than really Japanese, but we loved it. We loved the tender eggplants cooked in miso with bonito flakes, the homemade gyozas and the lamb yakitoris. The lunch set menu is quite inspired as well, really colourful and all for for 15 euros. It is important to mention their amazing and sunny terrace, perfect to enjoy a glass of spritz in the summer!
