What customers say?

“ Very friendly service. The vegetarians in our company enjoyed the options and the veggie burgers. ”

- Daniel Lambrechts -

“ Had the garlic mussels with my family. They had the “regular” mussels. Best ones we had in many years! Clearly fresh, fries were good, sauces delicious. Service was prompt, not too present but there when we needed something. Had the opportunity to speak with the owner for a little bit. He was courteous and friendly. We will 100% be back when in Leuven! ”

“ My husband and I stopped in during a visit to Leuven and hoped to have a very early dinner. We were initially told the kitchen was unfortunately not open yet. The gentleman then said it was OK as he'd need to start prepping anyway and graciously let us order some food. We both ordered the flemish stew and it was absolutely spectacular; tender beef, a savory sauce, and delicious frites on the side. It was without a doubt one of our favorite meals in Belgium so far! I would absolutely recommend this establishment to anyone wanting a hearty meal and wonderful ambience. ”
