Coming back to Belgium, we were recommended to try out De Troubadour. We unknowingly came into this…read moreplace and only realized later that this was the restaurant we were recommended to try. 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.

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.

We were also impressed with the quality of the service, the servers make sure to give you a complete run down on the menu and then help you pick a selection that matches your taste. I had the pork ribs, delicious, my traveling companion has the brisket. Both were some of the best we have had. If you are in Leuven, this is a spot not to be missed.

Don't hesitate to order a bottle of Belgian beer with it.
