    I cannot give a ZERO... the garçon was unpolite and rude... We were coming to drink something and he asked us to move somewhere else because we were sitting in a "only eating" area... strange as the cafe-restaurant was empty... Do-not-go place. Pity.

    First time in Belgium, and my first food, the services was magnificent, the food delicious, and the price was accurate to the experience. The waitress give us the welcome to the country I'm very happy with all.

    Probably the food is good but the hospitality is the worst. Having the terrace empty, we could not stay on the table we choose (10 other empty tables beeing the same) because we just wanted something to drink.

    A bit busy place, longer time to order but then... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DESSERTS. Our minds blown. We had brownie, pancake with apples and ice cream, both amazing.

    We only had a hot drink here and each a small desert, which was good. From what we saw the food looks like typical brasserie type food. The service was a little short with us however nothing to complain too much about.

    Worst service ever !!!! Visit the cafe for a beer. Got kicked out because I didn’t ordered food and the waiter told me I had to leave because all was reserved for dinner. It was 08:00 PM and not even half full 🖕🏻 Also zero effort done to speak Dutch or English.

    Your reliable brasserie style restaurant. Well located. Good service. Decent food. What more do you want?

  • 2/5 Krishanu D. 6 months ago on Google
    We are usually here for coffee in the morning after a walk in the forest. It's very well located if you are going for a walk and need a place to rest and eat afterwards. Coffee is okay, no idea how the food is. However the service is terrible even by Belgian standards. I am used to lukewarm Belgian hospitality but the service here is borderline rude. It feels like you are intruding on their morning routine by ordering coffee. This is not a one off occurrence.

    Fantastic place to enjoy genuine Belgian food

  • 5/5 Jon W. 1 year ago on Google
    Best burger I've ever had. The menu gave us a good taste of Belgium as well. Everyone enjoyed their food and friendly service. Seemed expensive at first but was totally worth it in the end.

  • 5/5 Frank K. 2 years ago on Google
    Typical 'Brasserie' with great food and service. We enjoyed a nice time on the terrasse during one of the few sonny days we have in Belgium.

  • 3/5 Marko M. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered one medium rare and one well done burger, but both were well done. Also, our waiter wasn't particularly friendly. He could do with a little smile from time to time.

👍 Really nice food, and great outdoor area. It was a bit expensive so that’s why it’s 4 stars instead of 5. I would recommend. Service was friendly and efficient.

🫤 Like with any other branches, food is definitely overpriced. In my recent visit, we found out that croissant hibiscus costs EUR 4,75 each! I used to like their coffee and various baked delicacies. Now it's mediocre by any standard and considering the price, it's clearly not recommended. It's cozy an...

😠 Disgraceful behaviour towards minors. I was here with my friends and we bought fries, an apple cake, and water. Firstly, I got 20cl of water when normally you get a bottle. Insane pricing. Had to pay the same for one glass of water rather than a bottle. I had to pay an extra €2.50 for ketchup, while...
