The alternation between the pleasures of the table and moments of relaxation creates a perfect balance, characteristic of this gastronomic stay in the Belgian Ardennes. The benefits of water and heat facilitate digestion and prolong the feeling of well-being offered by Mediterranean flavors.
Nature and gastronomy: a perfect match
One of the main assets of our Trattoria Gourmet Stay is its location in the heart of the High Fens-Eifel Nature Park. This exceptional natural setting offers the ideal counterpoint to the gastronomic pleasures of the Trattoria Filomena.
During your gourmet weekend in the Belgian Ardennes, take the time to explore the marked trails that wind through forests, peat bogs and moors. A digestive walk after your meal will allow you to appreciate the wild beauty of the High Fens while promoting good digestion.
The region offers varied landscapes that change with the seasons: in spring, the undergrowth is decorated with wildflowers; In summer, moors form a spectacular purple carpet; In autumn, the forests are ablaze with flamboyant colours; In winter, the snowy landscape takes on the appearance of a Scandinavian postcard.
This immersion in the Ardennes nature will add an extra dimension to your gourmet stay and create a striking contrast between the Mediterranean flavors of the Trattoria and the wild character of the High Fens.

At the heart of Italian flavours
What distinguishes our gastronomic stay in the Belgian Ardennes is the authenticity of our Italian cuisine. Far from being standardized restaurant chains, Trattoria Filomena offers a real immersion in Mediterranean gastronomy.
Our chef Marco, originally from Tuscany, brings with him the recipes of his nonna and a know-how that has been passed down from generation to generation. Culinary philosophy is based on three fundamental pillars:
- The impeccable quality of the products, with ingredients imported directly from Italy (olive oil, Parmesan, Parma ham, etc.) or sourced locally where possible
- Respect for the seasons, with a menu that evolves throughout the year to offer the products in their best taste
- Simplicity that sublimates, with classic but perfectly mastered combinations of flavors
Each dish tells a story, that of a region of Italy, a family tradition or a childhood memory. It is this authenticity that makes our bistro stay an unforgettable culinary experience.
