    Amazing food is one thing, and Taste really hits the spot here. But there's more: at Taste you always feel welcome, every member of the staff knows his or her role perfectly. The chef greets every table and explains his menu with passion. Flawless execution. Been here many times since the opening 1.5 years ago, and still consider this the best restaurant Leuven has to offer !

    Taste Leuven was amazing. My girlfriend and I have had dinner at excellent restaurants around the world, but the kindness, generosity, and great spirit of Taste Leuven was unmatched. I don't think we've had a better time, with more interesting dishes, and genuinely wonderful people. Bravo guys, you rock!

    My friend & I recently had a dinner here tried the 6-course option accompanied with matched wines. The food and service were fantastic. Each dish was nicely presented with optimal gap time between serving each of them. At the end we had a chance for a nice chat with Bart (The head chef) and found him and his wife very lovely people! Overall this place is highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Karel V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Wonderful experience. Very tasty and refined food. Good and original adapted wines. We have eaten the lunch menu of 4 courses. This was with two white and 1 red wine. Two of these were Austrian and pleasant to get to know! Time has also been spent on the non-alcoholic accompanying drinks. This was very original and tasty. Quite pricey. About 200 EUR for 2 people 4 course lunch with adapted drinks. (Original) Heerlijke ervaring. Zeer lekker en verfijnd eten. Goede en originele aangepaste wijnen. We hebben er het lunchmenu van 4 gangen gegeten. Dit was met twee witte en 1 rode wijn. Twee hiervan waren Oostenrijks en aangenaam om te leren kennen! Ook in de niet-alcoholische bijgaande dranken is tijd gestopt. Dit was zeer origineel en lekker. Wel best prijzig. Ongeveer 200 EUR voor 2 personen 4 gangen lunch met aangepaste dranken.

  • 5/5 Sarah L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Fantastic!! Reception by a very warm and friendly hostess. Not a boring menu, but the chef who personally presents the menu at the table. The food was exceptionally tasty. All this together with a super sommelier who serves tasty wines out of the box and even creates a matching juice or ice tea with every dish. That way the BOB are really nice here! All this in a nicely thought out interior. In short: Taste is great !!! (Original) Fantastisch!! Ontvangst door een erg warm hartelijke gastvrouw. Geen saaie menukaart, maar de chef die het menu persoonlijk aan tafel komt voorstellen. Het eten was dan ook voortreffelijk lekker. Dit alles samen met een super sommelier die je out of the box lekkere wijnen serveert en zelfs bij elk gerechtje een bijpassend sapje of ice tea creëert. Op die manier is het BOB zijn hier echt leuk! Dit alles in een mooi doordacht interieur. Kortom: Taste is top!!!

    (Translated by Google) Already twice a wonderful experience at Taste in Leuven. The food is tasty and surprising and a wonderful experience. The first time a small bbq to grill fish at the table, great !. Beverage, including the non-alcoholic adapted drinks, are top. As a bob you can also enjoy yourself here and you don't have to worry about just water. Operation is correct, friendly and pleasant. The chef is also involved in the experience and personally presents the menu. A true asset for Leuven. (Original) Reeds 2 keer een heerlijke ervaring mogen beleven bij Taste in Leuven. Het eten is lekker en verrassend en een schittende beleving. De eerste keer een kleine bbq om visje te grillen aan de tafel, geweldig!. Drank, ook de niet alcoholische aangepaste dranken, zijn top. Als bob kan je hier ook nog genieten en hoef je het niet te stellen met alleen water. Bediening is correct, vriendelijk en aangenaam. De chef is ook betrokken in de beleving en komt persoonlijk de menu voorstellen. Een ware aanwinst voor Leuven.

    (Translated by Google) Incredible experience! Great in different areas ... - Very high quality and provides food - Service is top - Nice interior - Good wine list - Very good choice of cheeses for dessert - Professional explanation by the chef at the table - ... 1 regrettable disadvantage! In our opinion, Gault Millau has given a far too low score. Keep up the good work ;-) (Original) Ongelofelijke ervaring ! Op verschillende vlakken geweldig ... - Zeer kwalitatief en verzorgt eten - Service is top - Mooie inrichting - Goede wijnkaart - Zeer goede keuze aan kazen als dessert - Vakkundige uitleg door de chef aan tafel - ... 1 spijtig nadeel ! Gault Millau heeft naar onze mening een veel te lage score gegeven. Keep up the good work ;-)

    (Translated by Google) Are delicious and surprising dishes not enough, a warm welcome and a genuine interest in people not important, enthusiastic top professionals superfluous? Well, then you should not be here. (Original) Zijn heerlijke en verrassende gerechten niet genoeg, een warme ontvangst en een oprechte interesse in mensen niet belangrijk, enthousiaste topvakkundigen overbodig?

    Wonderful experience! Although I arrived late without a reservation, I was allowed to sample some food. There are only a few tables and the kitchen crew delivers pieces of art - presentation and flavour outstanding, in particular on vegetables and sauces. As noted by others, the service is more personal and less formal than in restaurants of similar calibre.

    When looking for your dinner out this is your answer. I was amazed by the extremely polite, funny and correct serving of the maître d’hôtel. This was even topped by the very personal information the chef provided. And as good as they are in all the talking en serving, even better are they in the deliciousness of their meals! Please put this one on your list!

    What a great restaurant!!! It's a super gem in Leuven. The restaurant itself is quite nicely decorated, and the vibe was very relaxed. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and they did their best to accommodate our needs and to describe everything in English to us. The food was also fantastic. The menu offered by the chef was delicious and with great combinations of ingredients. The wine pairing was excellent. Also the dessert was fantastic and they even surprised us with a cool ice cream at the end. Great experience and worth it. Definitely recommend it

    This restaurant was a fantastic find on our trip to Leuven. The interior design is very calming and interesting. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable about the wine and the food. The food itself was inventive and delicious. The drink pairings were excellent: full wine pairing, half glass wine pairing (bob), a beer pairing and a non-alcoholic pairing which is very unique and much appreciated. We had a fantastic evening here; the food was enhanced by the friendliness of the people and it made for an unforgettable night in Leuven. Enjoy the festival guys!

    Best chocolate mousse I ever had in a restaurant. Great food, great flavours. Service is slightly more casual than most gastronomic restaurants. Once a month they offer a special like brunch or opening on a Monday

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Taste restaurant, and I have to say it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. The 5-course meal was absolutely delicious, with each dish more flavorful and expertly prepared than the last. The owners were incredibly friendly and made sure that we were taken care of throughout the entire meal. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, making it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and excellent service. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special night out.

    Amazing restaurant. We had the 6 course menu with accompanying beers and wines. The food was good, and my personal favourite was the langoustine. I liked the vibes of the restaurant as it's not too stiff and the staff is really easy going. The somelier was really knowledgeable about wines and I loved the mini ice-cart at the end. The cheese desert came with a huge cart and they created one big plate for us to taste all the cheeses available which were procured from the local cheese master Elsen. The beers were a good change of the typical Belgian beers, rather they used European microbreweries such as La Source, Braxatorium and Hof Ter Dormaal. Personally I would like to see more options for the beers (e.g. lambiek sours for the cheese). But still overall pleasantly surprised there was at least the option of some good craft beers available. Just be aware that this quality comes at a steep price, but overall I think it was really worth it.

    This restaurant is indeed too good to be true. It combines an enormous sense of taste with a keen perception of balance. Nothing is under or over done, just perfect. The chef’s art with simple farm-to-table ingredients is simply inspiring for the senses of a commoner like me. Certainly more than an experience, a place to repeat, where fine dining gives you a feeling of home.

    The food was okay. However, we had to sit there for 4 hours for 5 course meal which spoiled the experience. In the end we asked for the check and they started bringing in a rush even more stuff (extra deserts, ice cream etc…). So, we came there at 7h and left at 11h15 which is a bit too long considering we had to wait 40 minutes between courses with no drinks available. Please kindly take this comment as feedback.
