A bistro in the heart of nature

Le Petit Bistro is located at Haute Commène 50 in Barvaux, on the grounds of Camping De La Vallée. You are literally surrounded by nature, with the river and forest close by. That makes us the ideal spot to take a break after a day in Durbuy or the surrounding area, to enjoy a drink on the terrace, have a bite to eat without leaving the campsite or to start or end your day with a simple but carefully prepared meal.

The atmosphere is warm and relaxed: a mix of campsite cosiness, bistro charm and Ardennes peace. No stiff formality, but a friendly smile, time for a chat and a team that clearly enjoys what it does. Whether you are staying on the campsite or just passing by as a hiker, cyclist or local resident: you will feel welcome right away at Le Petit Bistro.

Honest, homemade dishes
with bistro classics, croques
and fresh salads.

Tapas nights and themed evenings,
sometimes with live music,
to share and enjoy together.

Located at Camping De La Vallée,
within walking distance of Durbuy,
in the middle of Ardennes nature.

Cozy, homely and full of flavour

In our kitchen we deliberately keep things accessible, fresh and homemade. No complicated fine-dining experiments, but tasty bistro classics and simple dishes you really crave when you are on holiday or just want to get away from it all. On our menu you will find freshly prepared croques, crisp salads and solid Belgian favourites – comforting food that makes you happy, ideal after a day of walking or cycling in the Ardennes.

We work as much as possible with quality products and prepare everything with care. For us, a plate is only “ready” when we would happily eat it ourselves. That may sound obvious, but you can really taste the difference. A glass that never stays empty for long, a dish brought to your table with attention and a spontaneous chat along the way: that is exactly the experience we want to create at Le Petit Bistro.

A holiday feeling all year round

Le Petit Bistro is more than just food and drinks. We regularly organise tapas nights and themed evenings, sometimes with live music. On those occasions, our terrace becomes the beating heart of the campsite: children playing, adults enjoying good company, a drink, a plate full of goodies and a relaxed atmosphere. For a moment it feels like you are somewhere in the south, while you are actually just in Durbuy.

Our bistro is for everyone who loves things that are cozy, simple and tasty. Campsite guests who do not feel like cooking but still want a good meal, hikers and cyclists exploring the region and looking for a stop, families with children, couples wanting a quiet night out or groups of friends spending a weekend away: they all find their place at Le Petit Bistro.

Whatever you are wearing – hiking gear, a hoodie and trainers or something more dressed up – everyone is welcomed in the same warm way. For us, it is not about perfectly ironed tablecloths or formal service, but about genuine hospitality. We want you to feel as if you are visiting friends: you sit down, choose something tasty, laugh, enjoy and leave with the feeling: “I’ll definitely come back here.”

You can feel this personal touch in everything we do. We listen to feedback, think along with you and look for solutions if you want to do something special: celebrate a birthday, surprise someone, enjoy a cozy evening with the whole family or a group of friends… Together we make it a memorable moment. The campsite setting naturally adds that holiday feeling, whatever the season.

Durbuy and the surrounding area have so much to offer: nature, outdoor activities, charming little streets, fun outings for young and old. Le Petit Bistro is the perfect base or the ideal place to finish the day. Whether you head into town first, go kayaking, hiking or cycling, you can always drop by afterwards for a well-deserved meal or a generous aperitif on the terrace.

We are also very child-friendly: children are more than welcome and are simply part of the atmosphere. While the adults chat in peace, the little ones can still play or explore the campsite a bit. A simple meal often turns into a warm family moment that everyone looks back on with a smile.

Through our website we keep you informed about special evenings, opening hours, impressions and updates. Because we like to respond to the season, the weather and what our guests enjoy, things may change from time to time – but one thing always stays the same: our ambition to give you a cozy, tasty and relaxed experience.

Whether you are staying at Camping De La Vallée, staying elsewhere nearby or just looking for a friendly, accessible bistro in the Durbuy area: you are always welcome at Le Petit Bistro Durbuy. Take a seat on the terrace or inside the bistro, order a refreshing drink, a croque, salad or one of our other dishes, take a deep breath and leave the rush behind you. Here, everything revolves around relaxing, enjoying and spending time together.
