The plates are beautiful, it's imaginative and interesting but in the mouth a real lack of salt and "gourmandise" sadly puts you in a little disappointed state after each course. If the menu is kindly priced, the simili "spritz" served in tiny champagne flutes was billed 24€ (2) which I thought was really over the top. All in all we had a nice meal but nothing was surprising nor deeply memorable. It's a one star restaurant and I think it won't ever be more.

Very strange place in some ways. The food we had here was very well cooked. The chef seems to know…read morehis job very well. We ate a la carte, and had in all courses a meal that surprised us the right way. The interior however, and the atmosphere of the complete restaurant, is not in sync with that food. THe lighting in the dinig room is not ok, the walls have almost no decoration and the noise is not demped by any decoration. The music is bad - and not in sync with the atmosphere one would expect here. Only cash payments, very strange as you will not be leaving the table for under 60 Euro per person....

Le Pigeon Noir is such a magnificent little restaurant. It looks so quaint from the outside. When…read moreyou walk in, you're greeted by a velvet curtain before stepping into this homey restaurant. The decor holds true to the name, with lots of pigeon figures, sculptures, and art on the walls. They had specials along with some great items on the menu. We decided to have the terrine de foie gras, croquettes aux crevettes grises, entrecôte de bœuf with sauce au poivre and béarnaise, saucisse de Montbéliard aux lentilles, and crémèt de Beersel au fromage blanc de la maison Walschot for dessert. The foie gras paired beautifully with the dried fruit and almond. I also had it with the bread, which made it even better. It was so buttery and delicious. The croquettes were flavorful, perfectly crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare. Their béarnaise sauce was good, but the star of the show was definitely the pepper sauce. The béarnaise was perfect with the fries, and the pepper sauce was amazing with the steak. The sausage had an incredible smokey flavor and paired really well with the lentils. The dessert at the end was so light and fluffy. It was the perfect way to end the night. The service was phenomenal from beginning to end. I don't speak a lick of Dutch or French, but the waiter's English was great. He made me feel at home. I will definitely be back again.

Charming traditional French cuisine. Cosy interior, with old advertising plaques and woody feeling…read more Seats (benches) are a bit uncomfortable and atmosphere a bit noisy. Service is good and knowledgeable, the chef was present, available for details and feedback. Cuisine is traditional, simple but well mastered. Portions are good. More a meat restaurant than a fish restaurant. A special mention for the sweetbreads with mushrooms and the cremet de Beersel. Wine selection is not large but of good quality. Overall a simple but good french cuisine restaurant. About 75€ per person for a 3 courses meal with wine.

With all the star restaurants I've been to, this was my least favourite. The overall experience was…read moreextremely mediocre; to begin with, when we arrived and got seated we waited for 15 minutes before someone could notice that we weren't attended or offered aperitif yet. After we had our aperitif, the man who brought our 1st appetizer should have informed the main waiter, that my partner wasn't a meat eater (which we had clearly started) The main waiter then came along with a meat suggestion. However, this wasn't the main concern. Few things that I would like to point out are: * Food was very mediocre (especially the dessert, it seemed like a brownie from Starbucks and nothing of a star restaurant) * We were at the restaurant until midnight and most of the customers had gone, but a few were left, to my surprise I notice the waiters went to bar and were cheering to the left-over champagne. I believe they could have just waited a bit. * The wine which was presented with the fish dish was empowering the fish taste, therefore I believe it was a poor choice. * It spoilt my evening because it was the birthday of my friend and in my reservation email and confirmation phone call I had specifically mentioned to do something during the dessert and they had promised that they would. (They totally forgot about it and I couldn't remind them while I was being seated there) * After we paid the bill, there was not one to thank us for the visit or to check if we were fine or ready to leave, no one offered to get our jacket either) * Cherry on the cake is when I arrived at the Vallet Parking no one was there and I had to run around the restaurant parking in rain looking for someone. All of the above is not a big deal but it's something I would expect out of a Brasserie not a "STAR" restaurant, if I were from Michelin I would drop the *.

I tried the Ravioles de tourteaux - a bit spicy & creamy and super tasty (€19). The cabillaud (€28) was excellent with couscous gros grains. And the Tiramisu (too small!) absolutely delicious. The Crème brulée was highly original as it was green(!) parfumé au thé matcha - very good as well. Bill is easily above €60 pp if choosing dishes separately so maybe worthwhile to take the menu. Still excellent price quality.
