A wonderfully different restaurant. Went on a Saturday evening with my partner and my daughter who is vegan? As a non vegetarian I was a little apprehensive but was blown away by an amazing vegan dish, consisting of risotto rice, all kinds of perfectly cooked vegetables topped with thick slices of butternut squash.
We also tried 3 different gin and tonics which was fun. The atmosphere and service were also excellent and rounded of a perfect evening.
One note: this restaurant like a number in Belgium from my limited experience, surprisingly doesn't take any cards so remember to take cash.

Our concept Want to socialize with couples, with your family or a business partner extensive and original breakfast, stylish lunch or afternoon enjoying the extensive coffee cake then you're in the Hasselt Maison Blanche is the right place. Delicious seasonal suggestions with fresh products! This is really "eat a la carte". Saturday from 19:30 you can enjoy a cozy evening menu: enjoy guaranteed! The sober but fashionable interiors, terraces and a custom lounge or classical background bring you immediately in a relaxed atmosphere. We forget certainly not the super-friendly and "chic" service. Maison Blanche Hasselt is the place for relaxing start of the day or a fun shopping or work breaks in.

Maison Blanche is an attractive place, even if there's hardly any space between tables. Service is very friendly and efficient. And the dishes look great. Unfortunately, they only look great. The three course tasting menu got us some tasty but unimaginative starters, followed by two pieces of Nile perch with a tasteless salad served in dough. It was made up to look like haute cuisine, but the combination of flavors (if flavors there were) did absolutely nothing. The main course was even worse: sea bream, pureed carrots (grandly named "carrot sabayon"), peppers, potatoes and a number of other ingredients in an arty looking heap. The whole thing was an exercise in mediocrity. As a dessert we got a decent nougatine with Toblerone sauce (probably the only good idea in the whole menu), and with our coffee a very good lukewarm little rice cake.
We took the wine accompaniment and although one wine was ok and one rather good (both were based on Chardonnay), they didn't enhance the flavors of the dishes at all.
Our visit gave us the impression that Maison Blanche tries very hard to look like a culinary refined restaurant, but misses one crucial thing: a good chef.

limited choice for the business lunch but very good and with the necessary flexibility for allergies - top class, chef. Interior is OK. Warm welcome and service by the owners-couple. The other staff is rather inexperienced - information about dishes or questions about drinks are not what it should be. They didn't see or check if our glasses were empty. I had to ask for refill of water, I had to remember them that my guests had decided to wait with coffee/tea till after dessert. Etc.... All of this was perfectly corrected by the lady of the house. Price/quality ++
4. De Kwizien

Once a year we go for lunch/dinner in a special place. Because of the reviews we choose 'de Kwizien'. We went for lunch and we choose the 5 course season-menu. One of our group does not like fruits and for dessert we had to choose for ice-cream with fruits or cheese (this was asked even before we had the first course!). The person could not get only the ice-cream (with chocolate or something else) and was forced to pick the cheese. We believe for this kind of restaurant this is really weird (the bill was €150 per person including wine).... The rest of the courses was nice but not really surprisingly. This was not a place or lunch we would recommend and we will not return.

Got here really late (11pm). We tried two hours earlier but there wasn't any tables available, so make sure to make a reservation. The kitchen was closing up but they let us order still anything from the grill.
The food was good (nothing extraordinary, but still delicious) and definetly worth the money. Staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was really nice (good quiet greek music + crowded place + nice decoration).
Would recommend if you need a nice place to eat and want to do that with reasonable price tag.

Giovanni Oosters is a topchef. He and his team are preparing exquisite plates with lot of vegetables. Every plate is too pretty to eat. Great taste and very fine wines. Service is outstanding. It will be a pleasure to come back to Vous le Vous.
If you can, ask for a table in front of the kitchen, so you can watch everything they do to prepare your food.
It was a great evening.

I have to say I'm very enthusiastic about the dinner at this restaurant. The service from the lady of the house was very welcoming, friendly and professional. Also the fact that the chef got to the table often to present dishes is a very nice aspect. You can see they love their jobs and perform with great passion. All the dishes we got were of very nice quality. The few remarks I have:
- the portion of meat on my main dish was disappointingly small
- the kitchen help came over shy (looking very neutral and never smiling) and displayed some impolite manners sometimes (saying nothing back when you help her with cleaning the table/picking up plates). I'm sure this is due to her lack of experience and this issue will be solved over the years.
- the chef was wearing wristbands from festivals which are, as we all know, not hygienic when working with food.
Overall a definite recommend! I would go back

De jonge en enthousiaste horecamannen Serge, Pieter en Jeff hebben op korte tijd hun creatieve stempel gedrukt op restaurant De Tafelaer en feestzaal De Pachthoeve. Opvallend en nieuw is op het binnenterras: de geavanceerde zonnetent met verwarming en lichtinstallatie, deze zorgt voor een hele gezellige sfeer tij- dens zwoele zomeravonden. Binnen charmeren de open haard, de sfeervolle kaarsjes op tafel, de Irish coffee die aan tafel klaargemaakt wordt en de topbediening door het dynamische team. Op de toegankelijke Frans-Belgische kaart staat als topper de entrecote, die een drietal weken zichtbaar voor het clienteel rijpt. Ook apero's met onder meer 24 ver- schillende soorten gin-tonic met aangepaste garnituren, voor- en hoofdgerechten, desserts en regelmatig veranderende suggesties sieren de kaart. 'S Middags is er een lunch (voorgerecht, hoofdgerecht en koffie: € 27). Het beste van de chef proef je bij het 'Suggestiemenu' in drie gangen. De Tafelaer beschikt ook over een kleine vergaderzaal, ideaal voor zo'n 30 personen. Feestzaal De Pachthoeve ligt binnen dezelfde vierkantshoeve als restaurant De Tafelaer. Deze zaal met hoog plafond in landelijke stijl biedt plaats aan 200 zittende en 500 staande genodigden. Hier kan gefeest, getafeld en vergaderd worden voor elke gelegenheid: huwelijksfeesten, babyborrels, seminaries, bedrijfsevenementen, koffietafels en recepties.. In De Pachthoeve is elk feest uniek, u kunt rekenen op een uitmuntende service waar alles volgens uw persoonlijke wensen wordt verzorgd.

Just out of Hasselt you will find this restaurant. Advantage is the free parking place. The interior is cosy, a little dark, service is friendly.
As thsi restaurant has a reputation serving steaks, we ordered different steaks. Meat is perfect, sidedishes a little disappointing. Prices are not sheap starting at 32 Euro.
We had housewine wich was tastefull.

Peter and Linde did their utmost to make us feel comfortable, while explaining their wine selection for the month. We enjoyed a trio of nice Spanish white wines, accompanied with some ham and an oven-baked Camembert to dip our bread in. We also noted the excellent home-made tapenade of rucula and garlic. Soft music in the background. Indirect lighting. Cosy, but without pretention. Rock-solid Wifi access and very correct pricing. We'll be back!
