This is a wine and food bar owned by the same owners as the adjacent restaurant "de goei goesting"…read more Went here with a group on Saturday night, started with a Pinot noire (Rully Rouge - 'La Chaume' - Domaine Claudie Jobard) to accompany the finger food (lightly spiced lamb skewers), the wine was fruity and fresh but maybe a bit too light for the lamb.. I would maybe recommend it with the iberico pork mini burger they serve, although I never had that combination. Then to follow this up I chose the tenderloin and fried potatoes stacked on top of rucola lettuce. We had a bottle of blended wine (La grande clotte - lussac St-Émilion) which paired well with the beef. Sadly even though the cuisine of the beef was asked upfront, they were all served medium.. And the dishes weren't warm enough in my opinion. In the end I topped it all off with a very tasty tiramisu. Unfortunately to my disappointment I did not find any dessert wine that went by glass on the menu. Everything is served more or less bite sized, and tapas like. But that's the point.. I liked the experience and since I love wine I could live in a place like this. But, I would get bored of the food rather quickly.. Not impressed by the diversity of their menu, and also I find it is more of a commercial standpoint that only few wines are served by glass, since they do have the ability to keep bottles stored on tap. The kitchen is open and when busy it is noticeable that the staff can't keep up with the food that is being ordered.. This makes the wait long. But hey, no time is ever lost when in the good company of wine. Besides all that and more than enough on the plus to make up for it.. Good job to the owners, this is truly a good addition to the restaurant business in city of Hasselt.

A beautiful space, ruined by spoilt bratty teenagers…read more The Good: The bar is beautiful - huge main room with plush couches and gorgeous wooden beams, and a lovely wooden terrace outside overlooking a Koi pond. The Bad: Even by Waterloo standards (a town of spoilt rich kids), this place is really overly pretentious, with snobby spoilt brats in polos with turned-up collars getting drunk, while their fake-tan, surgically-enhanced mothers and their sugar daddies eat in the restaurant next door. Also, the music is far too loud, but the hysterical screeching of the brats is far worse. I'm unlikely to go back

From the owner: Depuis quelques années, on n'y compte plus les ouvertures de bars à vins dans la capitale, souvent…read morede qualité. Dans ce réjouissant paysage, Winery fait figure de précurseur, cultivant depuis ses premiers pas ses différences. On ne prétend qu'elle fut le premier bar à vins de la capitale, mais elle fut la première à soigner le choix de ses flacons et la convivialité attendue pour les apprécier de la meilleure des manières. Winery, un lieu nouveau et différent autour du vin : le bar à vins s'y dédouble d'un espace caviste. Original dans son aménagement, l'espace intérieur séduit : éclairé, aéré, ouvert sur la ville côté bar ; rangé, accessible, côté cave. Tout aussi original dans son concept, l'endroit permet au client de goûter un vin avant de l'acheter. Chose rare, le personnel est formé, pointu et souriant. S'il le souhaite, le client reçoit l'information nécessaire sur la bouteille, le domaine ou l'accompagnement idéal pour l'assiette. Pour celui qui apprécie le vin sur place, la découverte est conviviale. A son catalogue, aux côtés de quelques noms confirmés, Winery en ajoute régulièrement de nouveaux, celui d'un ou d'une jeune vigneron(ne) inconnu(e)s que nous avons a envie de défendre. Ce rôle de découvreur de talents, la maison l'assume non sans fierté. Côté cuisine, l'offre s'est enrichie tout en respectant un élément phare de son identité : ses planches, fierté de la maison. Planche classique ou plus élaborée, mais toujours à partager et à tout heure de la journée.

We also had to speak to a waitress to order which again took a very long time before we had drinks and then we had to wait an hour for a portion of cheese. There was a good atmosphere between people and service so this was in order. This is honestly not okay but it could be a bit better.
