Kids loved the play corner with the kitchen set. Pancakes were thin and not greasy, came out quick even when it was packed. They even got tokens for little gifts after. Solid spot for families.

We ordered 3 course dinner, the soup appetizer was just ok, but the maincourse we ordered duck breast with mushroom and vegetables, it was so tasty. Definitely worth a second visit. The waitress was just alone trying to handle the whole restaurant on Sunday evening, he definitely was doing his best.

The plating was really nice &mdash; you can tell the chef knows what they&#39;re doing. Flavors felt clean and natural, nothing overdone. Our server was friendly too, checked in just enough without hovering. Only tiny thing: the table by the window got a bit warm in the afternoon. Still, a solid spot for a relaxed lunch.

Food was solid, service friendly enough. Decent spot if you&#39;re passing through the area. Nothing crazy but it did the job.

Came here on a hot day and the portable AC actually helped a lot. Mixed grill was solid, decent portion for the price. Staff checked in a few times but not annoying about it. Classic brasserie feel, nothing fancy but does the job. Would sit outside next time maybe.

Came here on a chilly evening and grabbed a spot near the fireplace. Cozy vibe, no doubt. The seasonal tasting menu had a few surprises&mdash;some combos I wouldn&rsquo;t have picked myself but they worked. Staff was friendly without hovering. Only thing: pacing felt a bit slow between courses. But overall a solid dinner, nothing to complain about really.

The room itself is what stuck with me&mdash;high ceilings, soft lighting, tables spaced far enough apart that you&rsquo;re not overhearing the next couple&rsquo;s conversation. That&rsquo;s rare in this city. The 4-course menu had a standout lobster ravioli, and the amarena ice cream was a nice tart finish. Service was polished, almost too formal for a Tuesday, but fine. Just wish the chairs were a bit softer for a long sit.

The Vesuvio half calzone was the highlight&mdash;crispy on the edges, molten inside. Watching the oven spin while eating made it feel more special than just another pizza place. Slightly chaotic at peak hours, but the food carried it. Probably the best slice I&#39;ve had in Belgium so far.

The mixed grill for two was decent&mdash;meat came off the grill juicy, though they went a bit heavy on the chicken and the salt. Free mini soup and sides were a nice touch, didn&#39;t expect that. Service was quick but a little abrupt. Prices are steep and they don&#39;t take Maestro, which caught me off guard. Place is small but clean, felt comfortable enough.

Came for the wine, honestly didn&rsquo;t expect much from the food. But those arrosticini were a proper surprise. Small plates are the way to go here, easy to share and just right for a chill evening. Place was a bit busy but that&rsquo;s fine. Would go back just for that lamb.

The pasta here is solid, no complaints about the taste. Portion size is decent for the price, which is what I always look for. Sat outside, it was quiet, which was a nice bonus. Not the cheapest spot in town, but you get what you pay for. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m craving Italian again.

Food&#39;s been solid every time I&#39;ve been here. Staff chat away in Italian which gives the place a nice vibe. Wine prices are decent too, not crazy marked up. Portions are fine for what you pay. Nothing fancy but it does the job.

The chef&rsquo;s take on the classics is spot on. Loved how relaxed the room felt too &mdash; easy to just sit back with a glass of wine and not feel rushed.

The crispy duck with noodles was the standout. Black pepper beef had a good kick too. Portions are big, almost too big for one person. Place is tucked away by the cathedral, easy to miss. I&#39;d go back just for that duck.

The glass-roofed patio is such a nice spot when it&rsquo;s chilly out. Fish dishes are definitely the move here.

The vegan options were actually solid, not just a sad salad. Got the mushroom dish and it had real flavor. Prices felt fair for the portion.

The menu&rsquo;s huge and the prices are fair for what you get. Service was friendly but we waited over an hour for our food. Still, the portion made it worth it.

The ribs were spot on. Tender, smoky, that sauce tasted homemade. Fries were thin and crispy, exactly how I like them. Portion was massive, couldn&#39;t finish it even though I skipped lunch. That never happens to me. I&#39;d come back just for those ribs, no question.

The cappuccino was genuinely good&mdash;real milk, proper foam, not that burnt taste you get in a lot of places. I paired it with a glass of their house red, which worked better than expected. Cozy spot to just sit and watch the street. Only downside, the music got a bit loud later on.

We came for a special occasion and left impressed. The four-course menu offered refined, inventive dishes with great sauces. The room is calm and elegant, perfect for a romantic dinner. Service was professional, though a bit brisk between courses.

The five-course menu really showed off what this chef can do. Every plate came out looking almost too pretty to eat, but the flavors matched the presentation. The signature dish got prepared right at our table, which was a nice touch I didn&#39;t expect. Definitely the kind of place I&#39;d come back to for a special dinner, even if it&#39;s a bit on the pricier side.

Came here during the Grand Prix weekend and they still found us a table. The fish of the day was spot on. Best meal I had all trip, honestly.

Nice spot in the centre, decor is really pretty. Had a classic Belgian dish, tasted great but felt a bit pricey for what you get.

The garlic mussels were spot on. Fries came out crispy outside, fluffy inside. Can tell they don&#39;t mess around with cheap ingredients.
