The Best Barbecue Near ¡Toma!, by the Record

A dry-ageing fridge sits behind glass at the centre of the room, and at Wagyu, that's less decor than a mission statement. This chic BBQ restaurant in the heart of Durbuy is built around prime beef, wagyu and other premium breeds, cooked over fire and served with bold sauces and sides you pick yourself. A few fish dishes appear on the menu, but nobody here is pretending this is the point. Carnivores only, dressed a little nicer than the grill implies.

A fireplace-grill dominates the center of the room, hunting trophies line the walls, and sheepskins drape the chairs, which should tell you everything about the register here. This is a meat-forward grill restaurant in Genk where the kitchen takes the BBQ seriously and the menu runs long. The crowd is loud in the best way, and regulars tend to arrive with an appetite rather than a reservation strategy.
