Brasserie de l'Abbaye Villers-la-Ville
Brasserie de l'Abbaye is integrated into the modern visitor centre of Villers-la-Ville Abbey, designed by a contemporary architectural firm whose glass extension elegantly connects with the ruins. The brasserie offers regional dishes with a focus on produce from the abbey's own garden, including fresh herbs, soups and beer-braised stews. The abbey beer is brewed using water from the old spring and is a house speciality.
The interior is fully step-free. The entrance via the visitor centre has automatic sliding doors and no threshold. The brasserie room is bright and spacious, with tables set sufficiently far apart. An adapted toilet with grab bars, alarm cord and a low washbasin is located on the ground floor and shared with the visitor centre. The terrace is at ground level with sturdy paving and offers views of the ruins.
The large visitor car park has several adapted spaces just metres from the entrance. From there, a flat paved route leads to the brasserie. The abbey itself has a step-free trail running through most of the ruin; ask at reception for the accessibility map.
