Driven by tradition and small producers, Wallonia’s evolving gastronomy is in the spotlight thanks to its recent recognition by Gault&Millau.
In Arlon, Monia Aouini and Clément Petitjean, the winners of the prestigious restaurant guide’s 2026 Cheese Experience of the Year award, maintain an increasingly rare tradition: the cheese trolley.
Their outlook is based on a collaborative vision of the profession. The cheese trolley provides “a living selection, that changes with the seasons,” in close partnership with Fromagerie Antony (affineur), Pascal and Maud Fauville (master cheesemakers), and Peter and Barbara De Cock of la Bergerie d’Acremont (agricultural engineers and passionate master cheesemakers).
Every cheese has a story to tell. “The experience becomes an opportunity for dialogue, in which the team shares the origins of these products, their respect for nature and the richness of the terroirs.”
This prestigious Gault&Millau award confirms that Wallonia’s gastronomy blends innovation, quality and international appeal.
