In addition to the local foods mentioned above, regional specialities include:
boulets sauce-lapin, meatballs in a sauce made from Sirop de Liège, onions, vinegar and prunes, accompanied of course by frites - french fries. The boulet even has its own critics and reviews - see the "Guide du Boulet frites sauce liègoise" (http://www.bouletchelin.be/) in French.
la potée liégeoise, a country dish made from beans, potatoes, and bacon bits cooked together and drenched in vinegar.
les boûkètes, dark crêpes served at New Years' Eve or other festive occasions
le matoufèt, a cross between a crêpe and an omelette, made from flour, eggs, milk and bacon bits, and served either salty or sweet.
la tarte au riz, originally from the neighboring city of Verviers or the area of Tancrémont

Prices unfortunately are fairly high, as in most other Belgian cities. Budget restaurants will cost about â¬12-â¬15 per person, drinks included, mid-range restaurants between â¬25 and â¬50, and splurge restaurants well over that!
For budget solutions, snack shops like any of the sanwicheries or kebab shops offer cheap yet tasty food. A Döner kebab typically costs 3-5 euro, and a sandwich is around 2-4. Note that in Liège all snack shops charge 50 cents for sauce, and usually another 50 cents for vegetables. For example you can see a meatball sandwich for 2 euro on the price list, however; after the sauce and the vegetables it will be 3 euro in total. It is recommended to look for convenient stores for soft drinks as they're over-priced in snack bars.
There are Northern American fastfood chain in the city: A McDonald's is located near the Opera, a BigMac meal is about â¬6, A Subway can be found behind the city hall, and a pizza hut can be found near the Opera.
