Started sharp at 730 to find the first course explained as "Mushrooms, leek and usually this is where the fish would be but since you're vegetarian". the main course was a sugared and buttered truffle pasta (if i wanted pasta I would have gone for an italian bistro, not belgian!). To top it off it took 40 mins between each course, 1 hour to bring the dessert after the main course, and 30 mins to get the bill - which came in a handwritten note (not printed)! Last time ever...

Exceptional food that's well deserving of its two stars. Was served some excellent and interesting…read morecombinations that played off each other perfectly. A special four course tasting menu came with five amuses and a selection of bread. Coffee or tea is 12€ but comes with an assortment of desserts or petit fours. Decor is modern and tasteful. With a massive wine cooler/display built into the wall I'm sure they can offer a good pairing but I suspect that could almost double the price. It's pricey, yes. The portions are small as they usually are when a restaurant is labelled as fine dining rather than for gourmands but for a special occasion this place is well worth trying.

Nice seating. The food is full of flavor, but the presentation is so boring I almost fell asleep…read more It's almost nothing but circles. So: enjoy the taste, but don't mind the same kind of presentation over and over again.
