2.5/10The food was very bad. Tasteless and without finesse. Those who work in the kitchen cannot be educated. My worst taste experience ever. and the room was cold and damp. Don't go there! You eat better in a sausage stand.

10/10We had a delightful experience at this restaurant. The presentation of the dishes was meticulous, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Most importantly, the ambiance made us feel incredibly comfortable. The setting is calm and intimate, which is a rare find these days. It's such a pleasure to enjoy excellent cuisine without the noise and crowds, with tables spaced generously apart. On top of that, the service was impeccable, friendly, and cheerful. I can’t wait to return!

10/10A small gem in the heart of Brussels. Really nice atmosphere, very welcoming owners and a great dinner. As business visitors we had just selected a place based on limited info and available reviews, but it was the best choice we could have made. We warmly recommend everyone to visit this restaurant.

10/10A small pearl at Namur close to Sablon and Royale. Magnificent food and great wines at reasonable prices. And really good service, not speeding through dinner to free the table. Time to enjoy food and wine. Clear recommendation.

10/10We had spent 2 nights in Paris eating at some of the top-rated restaurants there, but decided to spend one night in Brussels and found the gem of a hotel in the wall. The food was a delightful blend of flavours, and the service refreshing, unpretentious.. Not much choice in terms of wines, but it was still a good selection and we loved what we chose, My boyfriend & I had a memorable evening in the courtyard where there were only 5 tables. We will totally recommend this place.

9.5/10This was an amazing find for us. The menu is minimal though each and every option is designed thoughtfully and prepared fresh with good taste. The service was also great and each and every item was explained. The atmosphere is cosy. Definitely will revisit.

10/10I really liked this place! It is small and you get a lot of personal service. The food is good, but it is the overall picture that makes it perfect! We only had one person serving, so do not be in a hurry.
