The story

Caudalie Restaurant Liège: Creative Contemporary Cuisine in the Carré District

The chef and his kitchen

Caudalie brings contemporary cuisine to the heart of Liège. Chef Simon Poletto leads the kitchen since the restaurant opened in 2021. He treats sauces as the structural foundation of every plate rather than an afterthought. Woven through every dish, these preparations enhance each ingredient with precision and finesse. This methodical approach earned the restaurant a fourteen from Gault&Millau.

Standout plates and seasonal shifts

The menu rotates monthly to match market availability while keeping a five course structure for evening service. Diners often encounter the crispy skinned red mullet resting on fragrant fennel alongside a rich fish broth. Winter menus introduce Irish lamb paired with Italian XO sauce and thyme reduced jus. These compositions show how creative cooking remains grounded in technique without losing warmth.

The dining room and wine program

Manon Moullet manages the floor and the cellar from a sleek interior situated near the historic Carré quarter. She selects bottles ranging from Champagne Gosset to distinctive cuvées from Jura and Santorini. Her goal centers on matching those selections to the daily menu so both elements share equal attention. Guests settle into a quiet space where conversation flows easily between courses.
