It is a healthy business that has existed, so to speak, since its inception in Fournes en Weppes.
There is a very pleasant general atmosphere, a very nice wine list and an exemplary craftsmanship.
In the wooded courtyard, there is indeed a funny door, in the wall, that customers do not necessarily notice. It is an artisanal smokehouse that allows the establishment to smoke “home” its meat and fish.

And if some, as soon as they take over a business, want to change everything, to mark the place of their imprint, this was not the case with the arrival of Farid. If he decided to take over the Auberge des Vieilles Poutres in August 2019, it is first of all because the restaurant seduced him. He thinks that a 40-year-old case is not easily changed. His challenge is to stick to what people want. Most guests love the Auberge’s menu.
