    I started coming here in 2019. At that time it was just called Balls. I loved the menu and the food. The menu has changed quite a bit. I miss the lamb balls. The polenta had almost no spices or herbs..very plain. And the frites were not enjoyable. I suppose I miss how fun it was then. It seems a bit stuffy now.

    We really loved the food and the portions were huge!! But somehow the service was a bit off, and the female waiters didn’t make us feel very welcome unfortunately. Otherwise it was a nice restaurant.

    What a fun restaurant! We loved the concept. The fact that the menu was limited to a few items meant that the chef could focus and perfect each dish. We will be back!

    I would recommend going off peak hours, the food was awesome and good prices but it's a bit crowded and there's no seating or accommodation for children

    What a great place to eat! Interesting concept. Choose a type of meatball (beef, veal, chicken, veggie) and a sauce and sides. And our dessert was out of this world! The food was excellent, the staff outgoing and welcoming. Great place to go with a short walk of Atelier des Lumières. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!!

    I booked here for 6 of us to have lunch. We were warmly welcomed and the menu was in French and English. The food was delicious, particularly the poached pears! I would visit again if we are in that area.

    We really enjoyed our lunch today. Everyone got something different and we all loved our choices! Great atmosphere and the waitress was super nice and spoke English to us. I highly recommend a stop in if you are nearby!

    I enjoyed my dinner at balls, although there is definitely room for improvement regarding the veggie option. The meat apparently was great, but the vegetarian option was lacking a bit in flavour and texture.

    The creamy polenta is a must have and you can’t go wrong with the burrata. They also speak English, which was super helpful.

    Limited selection but the spicy ball with yogurt sauce was a good choice. Very near the amazing Atelier des Luminieres.

    Fantastic food, had a great evening here. Very popular, great ambience, nice decor. We all loved the risotto balls starter and the meatballs and fries main were fantastic. Vegetarian friendly too, which was perfect as one of our party was vegetarian. Highly recommend.

    Very good food, tasty. Very nice service. The place is small so any family with not-so-well-behaved kids crashes the place and your Saturday brunch gets really loud. Maybe a bit expensive but really good, very nice place
