    Great place for a lunch or diner with good options and real tasty, thought out food. Everything somehow works together really well and the starters of cheese and sausage served with freshly baked sourdough are also insane. Grab a beer and dig in to your ball of choice. I had one with the seasonal salad and it was just crazy good! They share the shop with a ramen place which I also want to check out. Staff are very helpful and super nice and the loos are very much acceptable, you’ll find them down the stairs from main restaurants (bathrooms are shared with the ramen place). Added bonus, all tables have glasses and there’s many carafes of fresh water and there’s apples (or seasonal fruit) on all tables which make a great finish to an incredible meal. Check it out!

    All they do is meatballs and sides, and luckily they do them extremely well. Great quality ingredients and flavours that really put a smile on your face. The chocolate brownie was also fabulous. We need one in my London neighborhood!

    Awesome concept! Delicious and innovative food! I ordered the chicken ball and my girlfriend ordered the vegan aranccini. We loved it! Worth the visit.

    Super simple place to order a good meal. The menu is small, you order when you walk in, then you sit down. They have fresh fruit on the table to enjoy while you wait. The balls were good, and the pumpkin feta salad I ordered for a side was super tasty. If you're not looking for high end dining this place is an excellent choice.

    This is a serious meatball... Delicious!! Cool atmosphere and great kindness for our first time to explain us everything.

    (Translated by Google) Rice ball on pile of mash, it was not phew (15 euros) ... Fortunately the atmosphere and the staff was friendly :) (Original) Boule de riz sur tas de purée, c'était pas ouf (15 euros)... Heureusement l'ambiance et le personnel était sympa :)

    (Translated by Google) We had passed by and we thought it looked good, so we went to eat and great !!! The meatballs are delicious, the potatoes are mashed potatoes and other vegetables such as carrots, crushed and accompanied by a delicious sauce. We tried the chicken that itched a little (but little), and the pork, which was Christmas special with red fruits. For the children they serve you some small meatballs stuffed with cheese with tomato sauce. They have highchair for babies. The water is from the tap with lemon and mint (and they don't charge it). Very nice and attentive staff and they explain everything (or at least try even in Italian, hehe). Highly recommended. (Original) Habíamos pasado por allí y nos pareció que tenía buena pinta, así que fuimos a comer y genial!!! Las albóndigas están riquísimas, las patatas son un puré de patatas y otras verduras como zanahoria, machacado y lo acompañan de una deliciosa salsa. Probamos las de pollo que picaba un poco(pero poquito), y la de cerdo, que era especial navideña con frutos rojos. Para los niños te sirven unas albóndigas pequeñas rellenas de queso con salsa de tomate. Tienen trona para bebés. El agua es del grifo con limón y menta (y no te la cobran). El personal muy agradable y atento y te lo explican todo(o al menos lo intenta aunque sea en italiano, jeje). Muy recomendable.

    Nothing I would recommend with passion. The meatball was average, the potato veggie mash was better. In order for me to give an honest opinion on this Belgium food staple would be to try in other places to compare and see if any of the competitors stand out, this experience wasn't bad but not something that stayed with me in a way great food does.

    Amazing service by the staff and you have the choice! The food is very fresh and you can see the chef from the counter! It was really good and we enjoyed the place! Highly Recommended as it is really local!

  • 4/5 Max R. 5 years ago on Google • 109 reviews
    Tasty meatballs and stoemp. Very friendly staff. For 14.50, as a guy, the portion of food is rather small. Ladies are usually satisfied with the plate. With drinks easily 17 euros. So if you want to leave satisfied, get another meatball or side, and now it becomes a 20 euro meal. Glad I tried it, but not sure I would come back, since larger meals for same price can be found in the area.

  • 3/5 Danielle E. 5 years ago on Google • 107 reviews
    The beer is great, but the selection of what is available is quite slim. We looked at the menu beforehand and what we saw was not available. Understood that only 4 options are served to create the best quality, but the meatballs are quite thick and heavy, with very specific palettes for each one. However, everyone was very nice and helpful!

  • 4/5 Alex D. 4 years ago on Google • 90 reviews
    Randomly walked by this place, love the name so I decided to come in. Honestly I had no idea what they were serving / what to expect. The staff was super friendly, I got the classic ball with pasta salad. Absolutely delicious. A little expensive imo (it’s basically a small pasta salad and one meatball for almost 20€. But definitely yummy. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Alissa Y. 4 years ago on Google • 80 reviews
    I would recommend all my friends to visit for the experience. The meatballs are huge and savory. They have specialty meatballs everyday so there’s always something new to try. The restaurant is a little pricy, so it is possible to share one ball and a side. Or you can do 2 balls and one side. The beer was also delicious. The waiter spoke like 4 different languages, we were fascinated!

  • 5/5 Winsome Y. 4 years ago on Google • 67 reviews
    I'm a great lover of meatballs, having tried them in Italy and Sweden. The ones at this restaurant definately goes on my list of best places to get meatballs for an amazing price and service! The meatball was packed full of flavours, that was paired with a light tasty sauce. Felt so full after the meal! The restaurant is very relaxed and great place to have a meal with friends or family on a day out.

    The meatballs are to die for and their stoemp delicious. One of my favorite places to eat downtown.

    Amazing meatballs! The size is just perfect and the price is fair too. The staff is super friendly, and the service was really fast. If you're hungry don't hesitate to come here, you'll be served right away.

    Best balls I've ever had 😅 Had a big pork ball on mash and small ones but the pork one was much better sauce was delicious.

  • 2/5 Bárbara C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was hoping for better, because the expectation was too much. The food disappointed. If you want to try really good meatballs come to Portugal :) The experience stayed.

  • 4/5 Jolie M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice place to go. Great concept too. There are always other balls available and it is therefore something different every day. However, I am in love with their cheese balls and I always miss them. It should be indicated somewhere online which balls are now available. Then I know when the fantastic cheese balls are available. (Original) Heel leuke plek om naartoe te gaan. Tof concept ook. Er zijn altijd andere balletjes beschikbaar en het is dus elke dag iets anders. Echter, ben ik verliefd op hun kaas balletjes en ik misloop ze steeds. Er zou ergens online aangeduid moeten zijn welke balletjes er nu beschikbaar zijn. Dan weet ik wanneer de fantastische kaas balletjes beschikbaar zijn.

  • 4/5 Digne D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Original concept imagined by the Flemish Chef Wim Ballieu. Here do not expect to eat beef, fries or drink Coke. These are stuffed pork or chicken dumplings (small or very large), served with stoemp. Drinks: ice tea or beer. The carafe of water is free. Excuse the darkness of the photos but they are eco-friendly and save on lighting. A negative point: the stoemp is served not hot enough. Edit of 12/29/2019: in the meantime I returned to this establishment and the stoemp was not served hotter to me. (Original) Concept original imaginé par le Chef flamand Wim Ballieu. Ici n'espérez pas manger du boeuf, des frites ou boire du Coca. Ce sont des boulettes de porc ou poulet (petites ou très grosses) farcies, servies avec du stoemp. Boissons : ice tea ou bière. La carafe d'eau est gratuite. Excusez la sombreté des photos mais ils sont écolos et font des économies sur l'éclairage. Un point négatif : le stoemp est servi pas assez chaud. Edit du 29/12/2019 : entre-temps je suis retourné dans cet établissement et le stoemp ne m'a pas été servi plus chaud.

    Cool spot for lunch with very central location. Modern twist of a traditional meetball dish. The staff was very nice, you get free water with your order.

  • 4/5 Lana C. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent service! The food was good; meatballs had interesting flavor combinations as well as the side dishes. The local bottled beers were great as well. Try it!

  • 5/5 Denis K. 2 years ago on Google
    Good service. Beautiful napkins, took one as a souvenir :) Meal was actually quite good and tasty, the price is restaurant average and also they serve a water carafe what isn’t a commonplace

  • 2/5 Kai C. 2 years ago on Google
    The meatballs are not particularly flavorful. The sides were underwhelming. Overpriced tourist trap.
