Chez Duche

Chez Duche in Charleroi has traded for 28 years, operating with an emphasis on friendliness, quality and carefully considered prices. The restaurant runs regular themed weekends; the kitchen showcases products from its vivier and serves game in season. Signature preparations include house‑smoked salmon, foie gras from La Ferme de la Sauvenière and labelled Scottish salmon. Christophe (nicknamed “Duche”) has long been the welcoming face, and front‑of‑house responsibilities were recently handed to a team member named Joris while the chef remains in post. Chez Duche operates a traiteur service for festive periods with set menus and practical reheating instructions and is selected by the Michelin Guide (distinction: SELECTED). The dining room is a relaxed, welcoming setting that invites guests to unwind; the overall vibe is convivial and warm. The cuisine is regional French and traditional in style, focused on fresh, quality ingredients and seasonal arrivals. Presentations are creative and the suggestions board is renewed regularly. Specialties include horse meat in various cuts; araignée de bœuf (beef spider); boulettes with tomato sauce; a daily 'rata' stew; weekly changing fish; and lobster from the live tank.
