Vî Mâm’dî: The must-visit local brasserie in the centre of Malmedy

Located on Place Albert Ier, right next to the Cathedral, Â Vî Mâm’dî (a nod to local folklore and Malmedy’s iconic figure) is a true traditional brasserie. In a warm, rustic, and typical Ardennes setting, this restaurant brings together locals and guests staying at our Maisons de Vacances and Chalets Hautes-Fagnes over generous, comforting, and local comfort food.

Wood-fired grills and local Liège & Ardennes specialities

The menu features a comprehensive range of traditional dishes cooked to perfection:

  • Wood-Fired Grills: Prime cuts of beef seared right before your eyes, honey-marinated spare ribs, skewers, and lamb chops served with dauphinoise potatoes.
  • Regional Specialities & Slow-Cooked Dishes: The famous grilled ham hock (jambonneau) with Meaux mustard, beef cheeks braised in local beer, Liège meatballs (“boulets façon Tchantchès”), and veal kidneys prepared Liège-style (with peket gin and juniper berries).
  • Fish & Fresh Arimont Trout: Must-try local trout prepared Ardennes-style, with almonds, or with tarragon, served with fresh Belgian fries.
  • Convivial Table Cooking: Fun sharing options for groups, including beef charbonnade (tabletop grill), fondue bourguignonne with homemade sauces, or classic raclette.
  • Homemade Desserts: The essential sweet touch to conclude your meal, featuring refreshing Williams pear sabayon, warm chocolate fondant, or the signature  Vî Mâm’dî ice cream sundae topped with warm raspberries and whipped cream.

Top tip from the holiday home 💡
