Traditional food products
Matoufè 
The Matoufè is a regional dish created and promoted by the Brotherhood of Matoufè of Marche-en-Famenne. Prepared with lean salted bacon, eggs, milk, flour, it is served on farmhouse wholemeal bread or in an earthenware dish. This delicious preparation probably owes to its simplicity to come from so far back and to be privileged in all popular events.
It can be sampled during the various events in which the Brotherhood of Matoufè take part, amongst others the 1900 Market, a major popular fete that takes place on August 15th in Marche-en-Famenne.
 Elixir du Pair Noble
A green liqueur with a sweet and rich aroma, the 'Elixir du Pair Noble' is the image of the Brotherhood of Matoufè motto ‘Noblesse Oblige’ and deserves to be sampled. Locally made by the Ardenne's Distillery.
It can be sampled during the various events in which the Brotherhood of Matoufè take part, amongst others the 1900 Market, a major popular fete that takes place on August 15th in Marche-en-Famenne.
