Where to eat at Spa during race weekend?

Worth knowing

• —Load at least €30 onto your prepay token card at the first top-up point you pass — the card costs €2 if you load under €25, and topping up mid-queue wastes time.
• —The Liège waffle stalls with a visible queue of local Belgian attendees rather than those facing the main tourist walkway are where the turnover is fastest — the waffle is best when it comes off the iron within the last few minutes.
• —Do your supermarket run at Lidl or Colruyt in Liège or Verviers, 30–40 minutes from the circuit, before getting onto the N62 — the roads narrow sharply in the final kilometres and a detour to shop adds unpredictable time on Saturday morning.

Worth knowing

• —Book Saturday dinner and Sunday lunch at least 3 weeks before race weekend — both services fill from advance reservations and walk-in availability on those nights is essentially zero by race week itself.
• —The Uruguay Grain Fed entrecôte is the best value order on the menu — noticeably better than the price difference from the standard steak suggests, and what most regulars choose over the Wagyu at twice the cost.
