Very good cuisine with some really nice original preparations. The quantities are generous.The first few plates came quite quickly one after the other. Then we had to wait a bit more for the main course and the desert, which was alright so we don&#39;t rush too much.The wine assortiment was also great.The staff was very friendly BUT we found it was a bit too present. We felt even a bit oppressed.It was like we couldn&#39;t have 5min of break to enjoy our moment together (my partner and I). They were very frequently asking if everything was okay.Overall, we spent a nice evening there.

Grilled Iberico pork was spot on. Juicy, good char, not overdone. The Spanish ham too &mdash; thin sliced, melts in your mouth. Staff knew their wine list, picked something that actually worked with the meat. Place was busy but I got my food quick enough. Solid spot for a proper lunch without wasting half the afternoon.

The tasting menu really impressed me&mdash;each dish felt fresh and thoughtfully put together. I especially liked how the vegetables were handled. Wine pairing worked nicely too. Service was fine, though it did feel a bit slow at times.

The Mechelen asparagus was the standout &mdash; really well done. Nice welcome when we walked in too. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable, my back felt it after a while.

The glass conservatory makes this place feel so much warmer than the weather outside. Open sandwiches were perfect for sharing, and that French onion soup hit the spot.

Loved the Monday quiz night&mdash;such a chill spot for students. Staff were friendly and the prices didn&rsquo;t hurt. Fair for Maastricht, honestly.

The pepper steak was really good, tender and cooked just right. Staff were friendly too, made the whole thing easy. Tables are a bit close together, so you&#39;re almost elbow-to-elbow with the next table. But honestly, the food made up for it. I&#39;d go back for that steak alone.

Came here with a couple of friends on a random weekday and honestly the food kept surprising us. Flavors were bold, kinda creative without trying too hard. Place has that cozy vibe, not too loud so we could actually chat. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again. Maybe not for a big group though, tables are a bit snug.

The Gault Millau rating makes sense, but honestly, the portions felt a bit small for the price. Good traditional French food though, and the room is really comfortable. Just wish the plates were a bit more generous.

Nice spot right on the Markt. Flammkuchen was crispy and well-topped, cocktail refreshing. Pretty good for a casual stop.

The steak was cooked just right, meat quality really stands out. Pricey though, especially with sides extra.

Pulled pork and bitterballen on the terrace were solid. Service was quick enough for a lunch break. Decent spot if you&#39;re nearby and hungry.

Been coming here for a while now. The view over Vrijthof never gets old, and the portions are still solid for what you pay. Service can lag when it&#39;s packed, but that&#39;s about it.

Nice lunch spot on the deck. Food was solid for what we paid. Staff kept things moving. Good for a quick bite if you&#39;re nearby.

The terrace is really lovely, especially when the sun&rsquo;s out. Steak van Buuren was cooked just right. Interior&rsquo;s warm too, though the chairs could be a bit more comfortable.

Tried the tasting menu and honestly the salmon carpaccio was the star for me. So fresh, melted right on the tongue. The rest was solid too, nothing felt like filler. Service stayed sharp even when the room got busy. Only tiny thing&mdash;pacing was a bit quick between courses. But I left full and happy.

Came here with the family last Saturday. Place was busy but we got a table quick enough. Staff friendly, didn&#39;t rush us. Had the grilled chicken and it was decent, sauce could use a bit more kick though. Menu&#39;s got plenty of options so everyone found something. Just book ahead if you&#39;re coming on a weekend, it fills up fast.

Decent spot in Hasselt for plant-based food. Had the seasonal plate, everything tasted fresh and the flavours worked well together. Portion was fine for me, though I can see some finding it small for the price. Place is compact, so booking ahead makes sense. Pretty good overall, just not somewhere I&#39;d go every week.

The seasonal menu caught my eye &mdash; the asparagus dish was fresh and nicely seasoned. Portion felt a bit small for the price, but the ingredients tasted really clean.

Guinness was solid, place had a good buzz when I stopped by. Classic pub vibe in Mechelen, nothing fancy but does the job.

The ribeye was cooked exactly how I asked. Juicy inside, decent crust on the outside. Portion was generous for the price. Didn&#39;t care that the table was cramped, the meat did the talking. Would grab it again if I&#39;m in the area.

We booked ahead after a failed walk-in earlier, so that worked out fine. The grilled quail was nicely done, tender and flavourful. Dauphinoise potato was the highlight for me, really creamy. Service was fine, nothing more. Place was busy, so I get it. Just wish the tables weren&#39;t so close together, felt a bit cramped. Still, a decent dinner overall.

The breakfast spread was solid &mdash; pastries, fruit, hot stuff. Fresh orange juice was the best part. Coffee did the job too.

Cute little spot hidden in Hasselt&rsquo;s streets. Portions are pretty big for what you pay, and it&rsquo;s got that modern vibe. Good for a casual catch-up with friends. 😊

Cozy little spot in Hasselt with a proper Latin vibe. Paella was solid, sangria hit the spot. Place fills up fast so book ahead if you can.

Went on Monday for the lobster menu at 48 EUR &mdash; honestly such a good deal. The food was solid, but the staff really made it fun, they kept joking around with us the whole time. Perfect spot for a chill catch-up with friends. Just a heads up, it gets busy so don&rsquo;t expect a super quiet dinner 😄

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Place has a real Mexican vibe, music was on point. Food came out fast, which I appreciated. Had the tacos, they were solid and fresh. Clean spot too. Nothing fancy but does the job when you&#39;re short on time.

Nice terrace right on the Dijle next to the old brewery. Had a decent glass of red with my main, worked well enough. Service friendly but slow, typical Belgian pace. Under &euro;40 for main, dessert, and a drink felt fair.

Good French food without the fuss. Had the duck, cooked just right. Parking&#39;s easy which is a plus around here. Service was friendly but we did wait a bit for the bill.

Dropped by for dinner last week. The tasting menu had some real highlights - the scallop was cooked perfectly, nice sear on it. Portions are on the smaller side though, typical for this kind of place. Service was attentive without hovering. Paid around &euro;120 per person, which feels fair for what you get. Not somewhere I&#39;d go every week, but solid for a special night out.
