If you're heading to Spa-Francorchamps for the Belgian Grand Prix, it's worth thinking ahead about where and how you’ll eat. The circuit is nestled deep in the Ardennes forest, which means that while the racing is world-class, food options nearby can be limited — especially if you’re camping or don’t plan to drive to surrounding towns.
This guide covers what you can expect to eat at the track, at the campsites, and in nearby towns like Stavelot and Malmedy.
There are food vendors scattered throughout the Spa-Francorchamps circuit offering quick bites like hot dogs, pizza slices, and loaded nachos. You’ll also find beer, soft drinks, and coffee at several stands. The food is convenient, but don’t expect a gourmet experience — or cheap prices. For reference:
All purchases at the track are cashless, and you’ll need to preload a payment card (e.g. €50 minimum) to use at food and drink stands. Some fans recommend topping up in advance to avoid queues.
One big plus: you’re allowed to bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks, as long as they aren’t in glass containers. This is a solid option for those wanting to save money or bring dietary-specific meals.
Many fans stay at official Spa campsites for the weekend. Here’s what you can expect depending on where you’re pitched:
The general consensus among Spa campers on Reddit is that bringing your own provisions is essential, especially for breakfast and late-night meals.
If you want to sit down for a proper meal or just escape the circuit crowds, the nearby towns of Stavelot and Malmedy offer more variety and comfort.
Stavelot is about a 10-minute drive from the track and has several quality dining options:
A little further away (roughly 15 minutes), Malmedy has a broader range of options:
Tip: Restaurants fill up quickly on race weekends. Make a reservation ahead of time, especially for Saturday or Sunday night.
If you're staying in the town of Spa, just a short drive from the circuit, you'll find a range of dining options that go beyond typical race-day fare. For traditional Belgian cuisine, L’Auberge is a favorite, serving classics like mussels in white wine and regional specialties in a cozy brasserie setting.
Fans looking for something more casual can check out L’Olivier, known for its pizzas and pasta dishes, while those after a refined experience might consider Manoir de Lébioles, an upscale spot offering a creative, seasonal menu. Other well-rated options include La Cour de la Reine for modern French dining and Entre Terre et Mer for fresh seafood. Just like in nearby towns, reservations are highly recommended during Grand Prix weekend.
