FOOD RATING :
Amuse bouche (bite-sized pre-appetizers) ( 7.5/10 )
Fresh vegetables which were very refreshing and great to munch on while waiting for main dishes.
Frog Legs in Creamy Sauce ( 9/10 )
Melted in my mouth, the meat was so tender and soft, and the sauce was so creamy and delicious, and had a mix of amazing spices - it paired AMAZING with the bread, and I definitely filled up on it before eating the main dish.
Creamy Mushroom Sauce ( 8.5/10 )
Similar base to the frog leg sauce, also so rich and creamy, would've been great with a little more mushroom added, but sauce made up for the lack of mushroom since it was so tasty with all the spices and cream - also paired well with the bread.
Escargot ( 7/10 )
Nothing special, good herb butter and flavor and taste really good eaten with the bread.
Whole Grain Bread ( 8/10 )
I love Belgian bread so much, it's in-between the chewy, hard texture of French baguettes and the soft almost mush of American bread - with a super bouncy and springy crumb, a soft crust, and a perfect ratio of crust to crumb.
Lamb Leg with Couscous and Vegetable Stew ( 7.5/10 )
The couscous could've been a little fluffier but was still pretty good.
The Vegetable Stew was on the thinner side - more like a soup - but was still tasty and had the normal vegetables in them (squash, carrot, zucchini) I personally prefer my stews on the thicker side so that it'll combine with the couscous better, but again, that's all up to personal preference so if that's what you prefer then the rating would be an 8/10.
The stewed lamb meat was so tender that it fell right off the bone, and was so tasty that you could tell it had been stewing for a while just absorbing all the broth flavor.
SERVICE :
There was only 1 chef, who cooked right in the middle of the small restaurant for all of us to see, and we waited for 2-3 other tables to get their food first, waiting around 30-40 minutes for the food.
The chef and waiter were friendly and attentive - making sure we always had our water cups filled.
DETAILS :
This restaurant was located on a street near where the annual "Onze Lieve Vrouw hemelvaart" or Assumption Day on August 15th occurs, so it was quite festive and chaotic when I visited, with huge crowds everywhere and everyone with a drink in their hand, but it was quite a fun experience - especially with friends - and I'd highly recommend! read more
