Experience Game Season in the Heart of the Ardennes
When the forests surrounding Houffalize turn beautiful shades of gold, red and copper, one of the most magical — and delicious — times of the year begins. From 15 October 2026 until 31 January 2027, Hotel du Commerce and Brasserie du Loup invite you to experience game season in the Belgian Ardennes.
Enjoy a delicious piece of venison, a rich and slowly cooked wild boar stew, flavoursome pheasant or refined wild duck. Combine these authentic Ardennes flavours with a walk through the colourful forests of Houffalize, a cosy afternoon at Jardin du Renard or a relaxing overnight stay in one of our Deluxe rooms.
Discover the Flavours of Game at Brasserie du Loup
Game and the Ardennes belong together. During game season, our kitchen brings the rich and authentic flavours of the region to your table.
A beautiful piece of venison, a warming wild boar stew, pheasant or wild duck: dishes that are simply made for the cooler days and cosy atmosphere of autumn and winter.
After a long walk through the forests, there is nothing quite like stepping into the warmth of Brasserie du Loup, ordering a good glass of wine and enjoying the flavours of the season.
Experience the Magical Colours of the Ardennes
Game season is also one of the most beautiful times of year to discover Houffalize and the Belgian Ardennes.
During autumn, the forests surrounding Hotel du Commerce transform into a spectacular palette of gold, copper, red and orange, while the River Ourthe flows peacefully through the heart of Houffalize.
Put on your walking shoes, explore the beautiful countryside and finish your day with a delicious game dinner.
Winter Warmth at Jardin du Renard
Even during the cooler months, there is plenty to enjoy at our Jardin du Renard, beautifully situated on the banks of the River Ourthe.
During weekends and holiday periods, you are welcome to enjoy its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Between 12:00 and 17:00, discover our Lavastone Grill, raclette and flammekueche.
And at weekends, we also fire up our wood-fired oven for our freshly prepared pizzas. Perfect after a refreshing walk through the Ardennes, accompanied by a good glass of wine or a Chouffe.
Turn Your Visit into an Ardennes Getaway
Why head home straight after dinner?
Combine your visit to Brasserie du Loup with an overnight stay in one of the renovated Deluxe rooms at Hotel du Commerce.
Relax in our wellness area, enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep and start the following morning with our generous breakfast.
Then head out again to explore Houffalize, enjoy another walk through the Ardennes or simply take your time and relax.
Game, nature, wellness and gastronomy — all in one place.
