This is a great local hangout in Kortrijk with excellent food. In particular, their Oh, My Goat! salad is sooo flavorful- and you can't always say that about a salad!
Belgium isn't exactly known for its martinis (beer is more common - and cheaper - than water here!) so I went with the only martini they knew : a Cosmopolitan. I was expecting a basic and somewhat boring martini but it was definitely not! Their take on a standard Cosmo (adding a twist of orange) is exactly what the Cosmo has always been missing.
Also, I'm a lava cake connoisseur. If moelleux au chocolat is on the menu, I'm ordering it every. damn. time. I dissect every aspect - size, sweetness, ice cream accompaniment, and most important consistency. Vesper's is one of the best I've had.
I highly recommend reservations (make them online) as we were lucky to snag the last high top on a Friday night. And know that this place will be packed (and hopping!) long after the kitchen closes. Their sister bar next door, Vagrant, becomes a party around midnight.
