Bovaria Restaurant in Liege

Bovaria, located on the banks of the Meuse River in Liège, is a brasserie-style establishment with Italian influences. The ambiance is pleasant and the interior design is simple yet elegant. Prices are slightly above average, but the quality of the ingredients is satisfactory. The portions, however, are smaller than expected for certain dishes such as salads and fries. The outdoor seating area is a highlight, offering a beautiful view of the river and the nearby park of La Boverie. Some recommended dishes include linguine with tomato and burrata cheese, linguine with clams, and the house specialty, boulets sauce liégeoise (meatballs in a sweet and sour sauce). The bar offers a variety of cocktails, soft drinks, and wines, including a local beer called Val Dieu. While the service can be hit or miss, the charming waitresses make up for the occasional mishaps caused by a stressed-out host. Despite some negative reviews, Bovaria is worth a visit for its location and outdoor seating area alone.
