The story
La Cour de la Reine in Spa delivers refined bistronomic French cooking within a family-run kitchen. Marie and Francis Finck built their reputation on decades of hospitality before passing the culinary reins to their son Jérémy. He now oversees French-style menus at this establishment, focusing on seasonal produce that changes with the local markets. Guests encounter a straightforward yet precise approach where technique supports the natural character of each ingredient.
Recent tastings highlight how the team handles spring vegetables with modern precision. A standout preparation features fresh asparagus paired with a hot hollandaise delivered directly from a siphon. The dish finishes with grey shrimp, nori flakes, and wood sorrel for acidity. This level of detail aligns with the Gault & Millau reviewers who awarded the restaurant a 13.5 rating, noting the seamless blend of refinement and creative execution.
The dining space sits inside an elegant historic building that retains its original architectural bones. Recent renovations added twelve new guest rooms and two suites alongside fourteen fully updated interiors. Patrons can move between the polished restaurant floor and a dedicated entertainment lounge before heading up to the rooftop terrace. Every corner reflects careful maintenance without losing the warm, residential feel that defines the Finck family hospitality.
