The best small brewery in Belgium, by far. I've been to most, and Nieuwhuys beer is amazing. It's…read moremuch better than their local rivals, the Hoegaarden beer factory. The food is the perfect selection of Belgian local cuisine. The prices are just right. The owners will make you feel at home. They've put their heart and soul into this place, and it shows in their selection of food and homemade beers. The ambiance is very classy, comfortable, yet still local. They have live jazz music once a month, and the musicians are world class. Incredible for such a small and cozy place. It's only 20 minutes from Brussels. Try this place. You will keep coming back.

The plates are beautiful, it's imaginative and interesting but in the mouth a real lack of salt and "gourmandise" sadly puts you in a little disappointed state after each course. If the menu is kindly priced, the simili "spritz" served in tiny champagne flutes was billed 24€ (2) which I thought was really over the top.

We ate a la carte, and had in all courses a meal that surprised us the right way. The interior however, and the atmosphere of the complete restaurant, is not in sync with that food. THe lighting in the dinig room is not ok, the walls have almost no decoration and the noise is not demped by any decoration. The music is bad - and not in sync with the atmosphere one would expect here. Only cash payments, very strange as you will not be leaving the table for under 60 Euro per person....
