We came here for a small drink or something small to eat hot chocolate and it was very busy with the night people bar type crowd. We ordered a hot chocolate, but it took a long time for the service to come to our table. We sat inside because it was very cold, and everybody was sitting outside. It was a nice ambience for barhopping clubbing or drinking. Nice decor.

We ordered a beer to start, then when asked if we wanted a second beer we said sure...then the…read morewaiter took our only HALF drank first beers away...it was bizarre. 45 minutes and a few discussions about whether we should leave cash on the table and go later, a different waiter took our order. The plating was thoughtless and unappetizing. We had no idea what was what and there were actual loose balls just thrown on a plate. The "spring rolls" were pureed and fried?! Giving one star because we had to laugh at the actual absurdity of the horrible service.

This is a solid restaurant where I've been a number of times as it's only a short walk from my…read morehotel of choice (Novotel). As for the food, from the times I've been, I've had the filet with balsamic and arugula, the stoofvlees (beef stew for us English speaking types) and most recently the Irish steak - all were very solid! Beer selection is great and the patio is a nice place to enjoy a summer night in Leuven. As with a number of other local restaurants, they bring complimentary olives to each table which is always a nice treat! Service has always been good which can be tough to find in Belgium but be warned this place is definitely not cheap. Most dishes are around 15 to 20 euro which a number over 20 as well. Generally the quality is there however and it's worthwhile. Overall, this is a good spot close to the train station to grab a bite and a beer - check it out if you're looking for something casual that still has good food and a nice atmosphere!

Prices are reasonable, food was good and they change their menu monthly. Food items of the month are written on chalkboard throughout... And totally in French. Our waiter was able to translate most of it for us. The bathrooms are down the hall towards a rather smelly end of the building. It gets the job done, but wasn't too pleasant. It's a very chill place - lots of young people, college students. Everyone was definitely socializing and enjoying their visit. The nachos were a great start. Chips with cheese melted over them, covered in jalapenos. You get guac, sour cream on the side and can add the optional chili. It was a tasty appetizer for the table. Wines are good here too. Not many to choose from, but I believe all good. They also have beer and cocktails. My entree was a dish of tenderly cooked pork with a mash of parsnips and potatoes. I agree it all. It was a comforting dish and good for cold weather. Overall, nice place if you're in the area and need a meal.

Had their spaghetti - the portion was rather big. My friend learned me that most dishes come in a small portion as well - good to know. I was here on a rainy and cold day, but the terrace seems like a noce place in summer as well - overooking the local marina (vaartkom). Great place too lunch when in Leuven - with enough parking spaces in the nearby streets.

There is no doubt that the ambiance and the light in this place is out of this world. But coming to…read morewhat people usually come to restaurants for - the food - is another matter. Was pretty disappointed by the quality of the food, the quantity (esp for the price), and the wait. The place is a bit overhyped and it may have been amazing a few years back but it definitely has gone downhill in terms of the standard of service and the quality of food. Would not recommend.

It took a really long time until the food was served, the staff was not friendly at all, we received five out of six dishes and they cleaned the table while there was still someone eating even though the terrace was almost empty.

It's pricier food than the student fare that is more common in downtown leuven, but I do feel like its quite good and prepared by a professional chef. I appreciate the broad selection beyond meat. I chose a nice mackerel dish, which was a 'special' fish, but it was well tasty and came with lots of veggies. The wine list is also nice, but by the glass is only house wine. I got lucky there was an open glass of sauvignon blanc. I ordered the panne cotta and it came with a tart mojito sorbet. Overall a really nice dinner, just on the pricey side so I don't think I would be able to come here every night.
