With all the star restaurants I've been to, this was my least favourite. The overall experience was…read moreextremely mediocre; to begin with, when we arrived and got seated we waited for 15 minutes before someone could notice that we weren't attended or offered aperitif yet. After we had our aperitif, the man who brought our 1st appetizer should have informed the main waiter, that my partner wasn't a meat eater (which we had clearly started) The main waiter then came along with a meat suggestion. However, this wasn't the main concern. Few things that I would like to point out are: * Food was very mediocre (especially the dessert, it seemed like a brownie from Starbucks and nothing of a star restaurant) * We were at the restaurant until midnight and most of the customers had gone, but a few were left, to my surprise I notice the waiters went to bar and were cheering to the left-over champagne. I believe they could have just waited a bit. * The wine which was presented with the fish dish was empowering the fish taste, therefore I believe it was a poor choice. * It spoilt my evening because it was the birthday of my friend and in my reservation email and confirmation phone call I had specifically mentioned to do something during the dessert and they had promised that they would. (They totally forgot about it and I couldn't remind them while I was being seated there) * After we paid the bill, there was not one to thank us for the visit or to check if we were fine or ready to leave, no one offered to get our jacket either) * Cherry on the cake is when I arrived at the Vallet Parking no one was there and I had to run around the restaurant parking in rain looking for someone. All of the above is not a big deal but it's something I would expect out of a Brasserie not a "STAR" restaurant, if I were from Michelin I would drop the *.

Fantastic wines. The surprise was that the lunch overall is more than affordable (for the quality for the meal) and bonus point - La Villa Lorraine also offers a special youth price which I would totally encourage those young enough to take advantage of.

Nice mix of seafood and meat options for lunch and dinner. We had an amazing appetizer, croquettes of shrimp and also with a melange of 5 cheeses.

Decor inside is art nouveau and there is a big terrace out the back, service is reasonably good. The food however whilst being ok, really does seem to miss something. The onglet was indeed a good cut of meat and the fries good but the sauce just missed flavour, the same for the bouchees a la reine, meat was good, sauce was missing flavour. Dessert was good however the tarte tartin being particularly delicious.

God, I love this place. The aperitif maison (violet liqueur + prosecco), which was sweet and…read moredelicious, served very cold, is a must-try to open the meal. I loved the chateaubriand, which was cooked exactly as I asked for, very very rare with a nicely seared exterior. The slightly surly waitress, who delivers efficient service with no extraneous chitchat, is a perfect fit for such an old-school place. She speaks English well (better than my French), so even if you're not a French-speaker, you'll be fine. The menu is also in English. It's been closed for a month due to summer vacation, but I can't wait to get back there as soon as it reopens (this week!). Good for a date, dinner with friends/family, or any type of group. EDIT: went back this week and had the escargot again. Forgot to mention how wonderful they are, and also that the bread at the table is served with a dope shallot aioli.

Pass on this place; the pictures and reviews absolutely drew me in. The menu is tapas only, which I…read morejust adore,...normally. I was sorely disappointed in the food and the slow service, but mostly the food. If service is slow and the food is amazing...its worthwhile. The waitress (there is only one) was very nice but simply overworked. Too many tables for her to keep on top of everyones needs. The food...was definitely the problem. I have been to over 17 countries, and enjoyed the food in all of them, but I was not enjoying this. The first issue is the menu is not in English, nor do they have one in English available. So I was using my phone translator and my knowledge of French (which the menu is translated into) to view the selections. I ordered things that looked like yummy pasta elections...they were overly fatty meatballs and a foie gras stuffed chicken breast with bitter onions (leaks?) or something stuffed with it. Both were unappetizing. The chicken was so rubbery I thought it was cheese! That's why I kept eating it. I eventually figured out it was rolled/pressed chicken (in the shape of a toilet paper tube roughly) with the stuffing...and a sub par yellow sauce that I couldn't quite make out. The meatballs were just terrible. I had one bite and stopped eating. The nice waitress spoke enough English, but never asked if I liked my meal... perhaps because she could tell I did not. However, I must say, the one thing that was really good about this place...I emphasize one thing, was the desert. It was fantastic. It was the only item I finished. The entire meal with one small beer came to 32.50 Euros... not a cheap adventure.

For appetizer I had the shrimp…read morecroquettes--2 large croquettes with a very small salad, lovely but I might have skipped it if I knew that complimentary bread, butter, and olives were coming. For a main, I chose the duck breast with pink peppercorn cognac cream sauce. Wow! The duck was perfectly cooked. The sauce was tasty without being too heavy, with plenty of fresh mild peppercorns. The entrees come with a small salad & croquettes (plain this time & the only boring point of my meal). I'm very happy that I followed another reviewer's advice of the speculoos tiramisu, it was really special! Cons: the restaurant is a little small, no outdoor seating, & no AC. Pros: English menu, open late, accepts credit cards. And the food is divine!

But if what you actually want is normal Belgian food in a normal place, for a normal price and abnormally smooth & friendly service, this the place for you. The food won't blow your mind, but it's very good if you stick to the Belgian dishes (based on one visit, Belgian bistro food is clearly the culinary sweet spot). Go for cordon bleu, entrecote, white asparagus... You know the drill. House wine perfectly alright. Set us back €17 a head for a main and drinks. Good value in my book. Since I started on hipsters, this place is unassuming even unattractive from the outside, but smother your maybe wannabe internal hipster, give it a go, you'll not be disappointed.
