Restaurant in Straimont, Belgium
Ardennes farm-to-table with Michelin recognition.
Coprin holds two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024–2025) and a 5.0 Google score from 162 reviews, making it the most credible farm-to-table address in the Belgian Ardennes at €€€. The rural Herbeumont setting is half the point, so a car is essential. Book here for serious seasonal cooking at a price well below most of Belgium's Michelin-recognised creative tables.
If you picture a Michelin-recognised farm-to-table restaurant in the Ardennes as a polished, city-style dining room with elaborate plating and a sommelier gliding between tables, reset that expectation. Coprin sits in Herbeumont, in the heavily forested Semois valley of southern Belgium, and its appeal is rooted in the landscape outside its windows rather than any urban ambition. Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) confirm that the kitchen is executing at a credible level, and a near-perfect Google score of 5.0 across 162 reviews is the kind of consistency that is hard to fake. Book here if you want serious farm-to-table cooking in a deeply rural Belgian setting. Skip it if you need a city-centre address or the full-ceremony experience of a starred table.
Coprin is in Straimont, a commune in the Luxembourg province of Wallonia, and the address specifically is Rue du Mont 5 in Herbeumont. That detail matters practically: getting here requires a car. The Semois valley is one of the more scenic drives in Belgium, and the approach through the Ardennes forest is part of what sets the visual tone before you even sit down. The first thing you notice on arrival is the natural setting rather than a grand facade. This is not a restaurant that announces itself with architectural drama. What it offers instead is a sense of place that farm-to-table cooking at this price tier promises but does not always deliver.
Inside, the room reflects the setting rather than working against it. The visual grammar here is the forest and the local agricultural cycle, translated into what arrives on the plate. For a first visit, the most useful framing is this: you are eating food that is shaped by what grows and is raised nearby, prepared by a kitchen that has earned consecutive Michelin recognition for doing that well. At €€€ pricing, you are spending meaningfully less than the €€€€ bracket that covers the majority of Belgium's Michelin-recognised creative tables, which makes Coprin one of the more accessible entry points into formally recognised Belgian cooking.
For visitors considering Coprin specifically as a weekend destination, the farm-to-table format works in its favour at this time of year. Weekend lunch in a rural Ardennes setting has a different rhythm than a weekday dinner in Ghent or Brussels: the pacing is slower, the light through the windows changes across the meal, and the proximity to local producers gives the menu a seasonal honesty that is easier to appreciate when you are not rushing back to an office. If you are planning a weekend in the Semois valley and wondering whether to anchor a meal here, the answer based on the Michelin recognition and the Google review volume is yes. This is the kind of destination that justifies building a short trip around it, particularly if you combine it with accommodation in the broader Herbeumont or Bouillon area. See our full Straimont hotels guide and Straimont experiences guide for what to do around the visit.
The farm-to-table format also means the menu is shaped by what is available rather than a fixed programme repeated year-round. That is a feature for some diners and a mild inconvenience for those who want to know exactly what they are ordering before they arrive. If you fall into the second category, contact the restaurant directly before booking to get a sense of the current direction. Hours and booking method are not confirmed in the data available to Pearl, so direct contact with the venue is the right approach for both reservations and menu questions.
Within Belgium's farm-to-table category, Coprin's closest structural peer in terms of philosophy is Au Gré du Vent in Seneffe, which takes a similarly produce-led approach in a Wallonian context. For farm-to-table with an international reference point, Wein- und Tafelhaus in Trittenheim offers a useful comparison from across the German border. What makes Coprin specific is its location: the Ardennes setting is not incidental to the food, and restaurants working with this level of regional specificity at €€€ pricing with Michelin acknowledgement are not numerous in French-speaking Belgium.
For broader context across Belgium's recognised dining tier, see our guides to Hof van Cleve in Kruishoutem, Zilte in Antwerp, Willem Hiele in Oudenburg, and Bozar Restaurant in Brussels. For Wallonian creative cooking, d'Eugénie à Emilie in Baudour and Le Chalet de la Forêt in Uccle are worth comparing on ambition and price. See our full Straimont restaurants guide for more local options, and our Straimont bars guide and Straimont wineries guide for what to pair around the visit.
Coprin is at Rue du Mont 5, 6887 Herbeumont, Belgium. A car is required; public transport to this address is not a realistic option. Booking appears direct given the venue's rural location and the absence of walk-in-only policies in any available data, but hours and reservation method should be confirmed directly with the restaurant. Dress code is not specified, but at €€€ in a rural Ardennes setting, smart-casual is the practical default. For solo diners, farm-to-table formats with a set or seasonal menu tend to work well at the counter or smaller tables; confirm availability when booking.

Yes, with a caveat. The farm-to-table format and rural setting mean Coprin works well for a solo diner who wants to focus on the food and the environment rather than a social scene. At €€€, the bill is manageable solo. Confirm table availability for one when booking, as smaller venues in this category sometimes prioritise larger parties at peak weekend service.
Farm-to-table kitchens typically work with seasonal produce and can adjust for dietary requirements more readily than fixed tasting-menu restaurants, but Coprin's specific policy is not confirmed in available data. Contact the venue directly before booking if you have restrictions. No website or phone number is currently listed by Pearl for Coprin, so reaching out via reservation platform or email is the recommended route.
The closest alternatives in the farm-to-table category within Wallonia are Au Gré du Vent in Seneffe for a comparable produce-led approach, and d'Eugénie à Emilie in Baudour for creative French-Belgian cooking at a similar recognition tier. For a full picture of what is available locally, see our Straimont restaurants guide.
At €€€ with two consecutive Michelin Plates and a 5.0 Google score from 162 reviews, Coprin delivers recognised quality at a price point well below most of Belgium's other Michelin-acknowledged creative tables. The value case is strong, particularly for diners making a deliberate trip to the Ardennes. If you are already in the region, it is the right place to spend the money. If you are travelling specifically from Brussels or Ghent, factor in the drive time against the saving versus a starred urban alternative.
No dress code is specified. At €€€ in a rural Ardennes village, smart-casual is the appropriate default: clean, considered clothing that fits a serious meal without requiring formal attire. The setting is not the place for trainers and a t-shirt, but a jacket is unlikely to be required.
Yes. The combination of a meaningful natural setting, Michelin recognition, and the €€€ price tier makes it a strong choice for a birthday or anniversary where the experience matters more than the ceremony. It works better for occasions where intimacy and food quality are the priority over tableside spectacle. Pair it with a night in the Herbeumont or Bouillon area to make the trip count. See our Straimont hotels guide for where to stay.
The specific menu format at Coprin is not confirmed in available data. If a tasting menu is offered, the Michelin Plate recognition across two consecutive years suggests the kitchen has the consistency to justify it. At €€€, you are paying less than the €€€€ standard of most Belgian tasting menus at a comparable recognition level. Confirm the current format directly with the restaurant before booking.
It depends on the format. Farm-to-table restaurants at the €€€ price point in rural Belgium tend toward an intimate, unhurried pace that suits solo diners who are there to eat rather than socialise. The Ardennes setting and Michelin Plate recognition suggest a focused dining room rather than a buzzy one. If you want counter-seat energy or a lively room, this is not the right call — but if you want to eat well and be left to it, Coprin is a reasonable solo bet.
Farm-to-table kitchens at this level typically adapt menus around what is available and in season, which can work in favour of dietary requests — or against them if the day's produce is limited. Contact Coprin directly before booking to confirm. At €€€ with Michelin recognition, the kitchen should be equipped to accommodate common restrictions, but do not assume without asking.
There are no direct restaurant alternatives in Straimont itself — the commune is small and Coprin is the draw. If you are willing to drive, the broader Belgian Ardennes and Luxembourg province have scattered regional options, though none with equivalent Michelin recognition at this level of farm-to-table specificity. For a Michelin-tracked farm-to-table experience elsewhere in Belgium, Vrijmoed in Ghent operates in the same philosophical territory but in an urban setting.
At €€€ with back-to-back Michelin Plates in 2024 and 2025, Coprin is priced in line with serious regional cooking rather than destination fine dining. The question is whether the drive to Herbeumont is worth it for you — this is not a city restaurant you can pair with other plans. If farm-to-table is your format and you are already exploring the Ardennes, the price-to-quality ratio holds up. If you are making a dedicated trip from Brussels or beyond purely for the meal, set expectations accordingly.
The venue data does not specify a dress code. A farm-to-table restaurant in rural Wallonia at €€€ typically skews relaxed rather than formal — think neat, comfortable clothing appropriate for a considered meal rather than a black-tie setting. Avoid arriving in hiking gear, but there is no indication that a jacket is required.
Yes, with caveats. The Michelin Plate recognition and €€€ pricing give it enough occasion weight for a birthday or anniversary, and the Ardennes setting adds a sense of destination to the trip. The limiting factor is logistics: you need a car, the location is remote, and you should factor in accommodation nearby if you are travelling far. For a city-based special occasion dinner, Comme chez Soi in Brussels offers more infrastructure around the meal.
Menu specifics are not confirmed in available data, so verify the current format when booking. Farm-to-table restaurants at the €€€ level in Belgium typically anchor around a set or tasting format built around seasonal produce. Given the Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, the kitchen has earned consistent recognition — if a tasting menu is on offer, it is likely the format the kitchen is built around and worth taking.
