With an off-street location, one may have walked passed l’Ermitage en route to nearby Cantillon. The welcome is always warm, well they’re not open that often!
A multi-tap bar, the bar and seating area are quite informal. The facility in the corner is decidedly poor, beware.
The pizza impressed.
Given the current propensity for milkshake IPA/NEIPA, visits to L’Ermitage have rarely disappointed, except when we have finished the keg! Fortunately, the St.-Gilles outlet tends to replicate that which is available here.
