Walking around Liege with my brother and father and trying to find a place to eat nearby our hotel was no easy task, being pretty far away from the main train stations...but luckily we found this place, and it was decently crowded for a Sunday evening.
We were greeted kindly, and although there is no English menu, if you are familiar with a little bit of French and/or Spanish, you should be good to go. My dad and I started off the meal with some vin rouge (house red wine) and ordered paella, while the brother got a set menu (Menu Casa) with the option for chorizo omelette, steak, and dessert of the day. The waiter worked with us and was patient with the language barrier.
After a small cheese/charcuterie and bread plate, the paella came out, and it looked huge. After the waiter showed it to us, he plated it, and it was delish. Clams, crawfish, calamari, and a bit of chicken over buttery rice filled our stomachs. My brother's steak was nice and tender as well, accompanied by salad and fries (of course).
What we didn't know, was that after the initial plate of paella, we still had more, as the waiter told us at the end. What they do is they plate a serving for you, then leave it in the back, heated for them to give you second helpings. However, we were too full to take advantage of the large quantity...darn - next time!
For dessert, the brother opted for sorbet, and the citron was perfectly sour. The father got vanille glace (vanilla ice cream), which was also delightful. Overall, I am appreciative of the kind service of the waiter, the friendly atmosphere of the restaurant (the patrons around us conversed with us in what English they could), and yummy paella. read more
