The menu was pretty long, but I knew exactly what I wanted. Since this was one of the first restaurants we got to go to since our time back, we ordered mussels. I ordered the curry mosselen. The flavors were there, but I would say it was a bit muted. You get this huge pot of mussels, but the secret is that the broth and the flavors are always towards the bottom. So if you're trying to get all the flavor, head there first and then get some of the mussels that have been just sitting in that broth. Overall, I thought De Troubadour was great. I would definitely come back here and eat again. Service was very accommodating with families as well.

I got the cheese and salami mixed plate and my friends got muscles and beef stew. The food was pretty good and some of my friends loved their dishes. I got something simple so it was ok. What I did not like was the demeanor of the waiter. He was cordial but he could not care less. We ordered and he dropped a basket of bread on the table with some butter., which was great. But we were not sure if it was for a meal or for the table. All the menus we got were not in English so we were not sure and they didn't tell us... So once the food came we ate the bread. We assumed was for the table but would been nice to know if it really was as we were all friends and didn't wanna eat someone else's stuff like that. Also another thing, when they dropped the food they just dropped anywhere... So my food ended up in front of someone else... and we only had 3 adults so it shouldn't be that hard to know what meal goes where. He also tried to convince us to go inside to eat... even said it was about to rain... it wasn't and it did not.... He prob wanted to make it a little easier since everyone else outside was just having drinks... I get it but annoying and it seems like he checked out from there. I think that the service was the only set back here and I think it would be a very good place if the staff was a little more caring. Other than the service everything was pretty good.

I had the steak au poivre which consisted of a tenderized piece of beef (barely cooked) swimming in a very strange cream sauce. The cream sauce was strange because it had the unmistakeable smell and taste of seafood - not something you are particularly looking for on a steak. The mixed salad (iceberg lettuce with red cabbage and white cabbage) was equally unimpressive. The atmosphere is OK and, like the other dozen or so restaurants nearby, there is outdoor seating.

Dear reader, Domus…read morein Leuven was the perfect introduction to authentic Flemish cuisine. We were visiting friends who wisely brought us here, and the Belgian Dinner plate offered a proper taste of Belgium with several traditional dishes served together. The Flemish beef stew was my favourite, rich, tender, and deeply comforting, though everything on the plate was delicious. The restaurant itself is full of charm, character, and history, fitting beautifully into the atmosphere of Leuven. Everyone we encountered was incredibly kind and welcoming. An English menu was readily available, and ordering was completely effortless. A thoroughly memorable meal and a wonderful local experience.

I would say that if you have a chance eat a meal there. The staff was friendly and provided great service. The food quality, flavors, preparation, and presentation surpassed our expectations especially since it is in the heart of the tourist area. We started with a nice bottle of Barolo and decided to share a multi course meal. The shrimp scampi was cooked perfectly. Next was the meat ravioli bolognese. The ravioli was handmade and the bolognese sauce was extremely well balanced with great flavor. Veal with vegetables was the proprietors recommendation for our main. It consisted of a great take on stuffed veal with prosciutto, spinach, and cheese topped with a great sauce. The chef included small sides of spinach, broccoli, fresh bare linguini noodles, colliflower, and green beans. After a week of each meal being served with fries all of these vegetables was more than we were hoping for. After all that food we had no business doing desert....but ordered the cassata and limoncello's. The cassata was a great interpretation of the traditional dish using ice creams with great flavor. I am not a big reviewer but thought is was important to share our experience. Cheers!
