Why go

About Temps Des Cerises
Temps Des Cerises is a Namur venue with a casual dress code and a simple published schedule: closed Monday and Sunday, open from 12 to 10:30 PM Tuesday through Friday, open from 6:30 to 10:30 PM on Saturday. Given the details available, it's best considered a casual Namur option rather than a place chosen for a specific cuisine, dish, chef, award, or price point.
A relaxed Namur pick for occasions that do not need ceremony
This is a better fit for diners who want an uncomplicated plan than for anyone planning around a confirmed accolade or a published signature format. It does not feature awards, a chef-led tasting format, named signature dishes, or a published price tier, positioning it as a casual venue rather than a destination built around a known hook.
For a personal occasion, the case is strongest when the plan is simple: a low-key evening, a small catch-up, or a time when casual dress and direct timing matter more than ceremony. If you are comparing other named options, Parfums de cuisine, TapaSoif, Cagette, PETIT PAYS Restaurant, PhilFa are other venues to consider depending on the kind of outing you want.
How to plan around the hours
The schedule is useful for planning. Tuesday through Friday, Temps Des Cerises is listed from 12 to 10:30 PM; Saturday is evening-only, from 6:30 to 10:30 PM. It is closed on Monday and Sunday. That makes weekday timing broader than Saturday timing, at least from the published hours.
The main caution is that there is no specific cuisine type, chef, named dishes, seating format, or drinks program specified, so go in ready to choose from the current offering rather than planning around a signature plate.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Temps Des Cerises presents a warm, classic brasserie sensibility that fits into Namur’s slow‑evolving dining rhythm. It leans on traditional Franco‑Belgian technique and regional sourcing, favoring seasonal coherence over fleeting trends. The dining room reads as comfortably rustic and quietly iconic within the local context: a neighborhood address that signals continuity more than spectacle. Service and cooking aim for precision without abandoning accessibility, so the overall effect is welcoming and unpretentious—an intimate, well‑rooted spot for diners who appreciate measured refinement grounded in local culinary history.
Best For
This is a restaurant for people who want classic, approachable French cooking performed with care. It suits date nights where steady technique and atmosphere matter, group meals that benefit from shareable brasserie dishes, and casual hangouts that prize warmth over flash. The place also reads as appropriate for special occasions that favor tradition and regionality rather than theatrical dining. Located on Rue des Brasseurs near Namur’s civic core, Temps Des Cerises fits the middle register—moderate price points, seasonal menus, and steady, source‑conscious cooking.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the house’s signature Franco‑Belgian preparations: try the pig’s snout with mustard and the Escargots à la namuroise for classic regional flavors, and don’t miss the Jambonneau à la bière or the Irish rib‑eye with Sambre et Meuse sauce for heartier mains. Finish with the Crème brûlée Florange‑style to close on a traditional note. Menus change by season rather than concept, so expect the core classics to appear alongside seasonal variations—ideal for sharing and sampling across a small group.
