Bistro Tilo is a welcoming bistro in the heart of Retie, Belgium, located in Villa Tilia on Peperstraat. The name Tilia refers to the historic lime tree on Retie’s market square, while Villa Tilia recalls the building’s former life as the home of the Van Elst doctors’ family. In the villa’s former living room, guests can enjoy local dishes alongside a selection of wines and other drinks. The bistro also has a garden terrace and offers a menu, breakfast and dinner information, and a dedicated wine list.

Villa Tilia includes a boutique hotel with seven spacious rooms, open seven days a week. Bistro and terrace opening hours are listed as 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday; the bistro is closed on Monday and Thursday. Private lunches and meetings can be arranged by reservation for groups of at least 15 people. Bistro Tilo accepts table reservations for meals, not for drinks alone. Contact the team by phone or email for enquiries and bookings.
