We live over an hour drive from this restaurant but did not regret having made this trip. We had…read morethe 5 course menu and opted for a bottle of wine rather than the accompanying wines. We were recommended a Syrah (Planella), a red wine that went well with all dishes. We had a very tasty starter of spring vegetables (peas,...) with burrata. Than a asparagus dish. Than something went wrong in the orders in the kitchen. We should have had turbot but got king crab instead. We did not mind as it was a good replacement. But even though we did not complain our aperitif (fine Cava and Gin Tonic) was offered when paying. This was real customer service. Main was entrecote and 'americain' with fries and lettuce hearts (a bistro classic). For dessert we had a very nice sweet and sour passionfruit dessert. We were fully satisfied with the starter and dessert as clear winners. The staff is young but very pleasant and doing all things possible to offer all guests a fantastic and personal evening. A good mix of urban cocky and rural no nonsense attitude. When we were there, there was also a group of 7 celebrating a stag night but it did not spoil our evening as they were civilised The restaurant serves around 30 people in a rather small restaurant which makes it rather loud but we still could really enjoy our 'tête-à-tête'. Certainly worth a detour.

I stopped by De Arme Duivel for dinner recently and tried their Stoofvlees (Flemish Stew). Similar…read moreto other places, the stew had nice chunks of beef and was flavourful and thick/hearty. What stood out the most was the Chicory salad as it was refreshing and made it less greasy (as it was slightly bitter) throughout the meal. Overall, I'd give it 8.5/10

The beef stew is AWESOME. The shrimp croquette is deliciously soft on the inside and crispy on the…read moreoutside. And the healthy portion of French fries tops everything off nicely. I also had a draft beer, which was tasty as well. The staff is friendly and attentive. And if you're lucky enough, you can choose between sitting indoor or outdoors- either way this restaurant has a great ambiance to match the food!

Frankly, I would go somewhere else. They have a miserable wine offering and my expensive dish of…read moresole seemed to have been simply transferred from the freezer to the microwave. It certainly wasn't fresh.

This was a great experience. Nice small place that feels authentically Belgian. Great ambience and…read morefantastic service. In reviewing the menu, everything sounded fantastic. My wife settled on the beef stew with stoemp, I had the confit of beef chuck with a side of fries. They were both very tasty, the servings were perfect for normal appetites and the meal came with bread, and salad as well. We really enjoyed it, in retrospect I wish we had ordered a beef dish and something else, both dishes we had were excellent (the confit of beef practically fell apart with my fork) but the tastes were similar. Oh well, maybe next time. Highly recommended.

Came here on the suggestion of a friend. There was a queue outside as it was a Saturday evening at…read morearound 7pm. I got lucky and only had to wait about 10 minutes as I was a eating solo, and the other people in queue were 4+. Sat down, grabbed a Cantillon on draft, and ordered. The cheese board was fantastic. The mussells were wonderful, and the homemade sausage was unfortunately just okay. Could have done without it as it was dry and overcooked, but very much enjoyed my meal here. Would suggest eating here easily.

Good classic Belgium food in a warm and quiet environment. Many a late night supper at De Nachtuil.read more

Glad I listened to him on both accounts. Great food, great ambiance, and exceptional service. Really enjoyed the portions and the flavor of the food. Really enjoyed the strong drinks we ordered. Portion sizes were really up my alley as I expect to be getting a good amount of food for the price. Would HIGHLY recommend.
