👍👍 Great food, great tapas. Prices a little high but the food is worth it. Tuna steaks were lovely last time I was there. Sharing concept is good with friends. Service is good, both in and outside. And good bathrooms are always a nice touch. People often mention service, friendly, good, great, dishes, nice, experience, staff, concept, delicious,

    Fun food sharing concept with lots of choices. We tried all the things we tried (pork rillettes were especially delicious, I've since recreated them at home, other recommendations: truffle butter with delicious dark bread and the bell pepper spread reminiscent of muhammara) Cool hipstery interior (It's technically an outside tent, but the heating stands and blankets make it really cozy). We had 5 dishes for 2 people which was about right, had some leftovers but only because our crackers ran out, but we definitely had enough. It was around €50 for us both, but that includes a tasty bottle of white wine. We did take the less expensive dishes though. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back to try a few more dishes.

    Very unprofessional and cheap service, unpleasant experience overall. We ordered 5 adult and 2 kids formulas for brunch. Since they serve on a 2 persons sharing basis, they brought us most of the dishes for 4 adults (2 servings of omelette, 2 servings of desert, bread and croissants for 4 people and all the marmalades and butter for 2 people). When we asked for more bread they told us they run out of it. When we complained about the lack of a fifth serving for adult they accepted their mistake and they offered to bring us some extra desert or a second coffee instead of charging us for what they served (4 adult and 3 kids menus). Some of the food quality was OK (omelette, soup, bread) some of it was unacceptable (desert, croissants, marmalade). For 35 euro they only offer one drink, either coffee, or juice or belini ot tea. The environment is brilliant. All the rest from average to very bad and way overpriced for what they offer.

    Place is great! We had brunch here and I made reservations almost two hours before the arranged meeting with my friends. The staff were very friendly and let us wait for them while we were enjoying our coffee. Especially Kelly (the waitress with us),she was all smiles and all in all great. Brunch was very nice and we all enjoyed it.

    Classy interior and a good crowd. The staff are active and motivated. The food is a mix between simple and fancy and that was alright with me. Only minus: the brunch was overpriced.

    Beautiful space, (converted military gym). Very good service (especially the bearded man). Food is a little hit and miss. Some of it delicious, some a little overpriced and bland (gambas). What really needs to be reviewed is the music choice. Average age about 45 and music is more suited to a night club. Totally out of keeping with space and food style.

    It's a beautiful place and the staff were very friendly and professional. We just thought that the food was a bit overpriced for what it was and there was definitely no wow factor with any of the taste. The description sounded amazing, even the presentation was nice but the dishes themselves didn't live up to it. We would not return (for the food).

    Very nice place for a Brunch with Good Service and concept. I do not give 5 stars because I think it is quite expensive. Especially considering that on 35€ pp only one drink is included. You should have at least 1 jus and a coffee included.

    Customer service was very good, friendly staff trying to accommodate food for a vegan and for my friend who has many allergies

    We recently when to canapé for lunch during a weekday. The food was good, sometimes a bit pricy (somehow, the plates that were less expensive, were offering a better price/quality, in our opinion). Only three tables were filled while we were there, probably because it is a weekday and we arrived at 12. However you can definitely see how it's cosy spot if you have more people, and a bit more music. Lastly, and that point was for me what made the experience lesser than expected, the service. They only had one waiter (for 3 tables), but giving out menus, taking orders, giving us cutlery, ... took way too much time and affected our experience. We gave it only 3 stars, because that's how we experienced it. Nevertheless, I can understand why people would give more in other circumstances.

    Super correct and friendly service with a broad smile. Not toooo much options on the menu but everything is good decent and very well priced. But at most the location is brilliant and very well decorated!

  • 2/5 Eleni L. 6 months ago on Google
    Unprof and cheap service. Food quality and quantity unacceptable (desert, croissants, marmalade, nutela). The atmosphere is ok. All the rest from average to very bad and way overpriced for what they offer. Following up your reply (owner) of course my review is based on my own experience! Having similar negative experience with someone else is apparently the case!

  • 4/5 Andrea D. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely concept! All dishes we tasted were delicious and the service was very friendly. Unfortunately, there are only 3 vegetarian options In the menu, one of them fries which my friend did not plan to order but was obliged to for lack of choice.

    Tried the lunch formula. Bof... pricy for what you get. Average service, not the expected experience knowing the evening formula.

  • 5/5 Heather 10 months ago on Google
    Fantastic restaurant, beautiful food, great service with a lovely ambience..just wish it was open earlier in the evenings for Apero.

  • 3/5 Diane D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place but slightly over rated. I wanted to buy a gift voucher for a friend who just moved to Tervuren and they charge money for gift vouchers...administrative costs; a real pitty....

  • 3/5 Andrei I. 1 year ago on Google
    Sooo sloooooow. Pity about the place, which looks nice, and the brunch, which is quite ok. But everything is so slow… it cannot be that for some charcutrie, egg, croquette and desert, it takes 3 hours. It cannot be.

    We celebrated our 5th anniversary with a fun dinner here. Really enjoyed it. The staff were super friendly. They'd run out of some dishes but the food was great. Good cocktails and cool atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Johan V. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice produce and excellent athmoshere, if it were not for the young gentlemen who explicitly tells you "straight" forward that he doesn't speak Flemish ... so if no French, then no service. In Tervuren ??? Too bad though.

    Brunch on Sunday is always good idea

  • 5/5 Erwin M. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely place for an “apero” or for casual dinner with friends. Plenty of light in this beautifully decorated former military gym. Service is super friendly and efficient. The good is nice and plentiful and fits the concept, although prices are a bit on the high side. The four half Gamba’s (= 2) were delicious, the chicken a bit dry and bland.

  • 5/5 Raquel C. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful atmosphere, friendly service. Apéro time gurus! I love to go there.

  • 5/5 Filip Van den E. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice product range and friendly staff. During the Covid confinement period they offer an interesting choice of food. Try the apero bread sticks with different salsas. Om uw vingers van af te likken. ;-)

    Strange opening hours? Arrived on Sunday 3:30 PM and been told they close at 4 PM. Owner didn't even want to serve a coffee on a rainy afternoon 😕

😠 Very unpleasant staff (except for the lovely blonde girl working at the bar). We felt like we were not welcome. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone.

👍👍 Had dinner with family and friends here for the first time during the World Cup final match. We ordered 2 kids spaghetti, meatballs in tomato sauce, stoofvlees - and fries, of course! All food was hot and tasty. I was impressed with the quick and attentive service; our drinks stayed full and our tab...

😠 Don’t come here! The food is horrible and super pricey. They called a dish “Muambe Chicken” and it’s a completely other dish. They served pondu instead. And this version was watery, tasteless and just not enough.
