Eed Leuven

Reviewed By michel l

we went for the 4-course menu (which is very reasonably priced) and were charmed with every dish. Tasteful appetizers (of which the one with the rubarb was outstanding) set the tone. First starter was a delicious veal tartare with ansjovy mayonnaise. Followed perfectly cooked asparagus with verbena foam and trout eggs: superb harmony. Mains was a nice piece of catfish with garden peas: succulent. Fine cheese platter and dessert with amarena cherries and rhubarb. Very friendly staff. Interesting winelist, but not the cheapest one.

La Villa du Hautsart

Reviewed By donstefano

We recently visited this restaurant for the first time. It clearly is one of the better restaurants in the area. Inside, the setting is very intimate and enjoyable. We haven't been outside, but the garden looked like an extremely pleasant location for a reception or event. We took the 'Ballade des Saveurs' menu, which was of high quality and well-presented, and included a number of nice surprises, such as an appetiser with boudin noir. Accompanying wines fitted really well (big glasses, perhaps even too big).

This is the first time we've been since living in Leuven for quite some years now. Our dishes were simply outstanding, it's great comfort food on a cold night.

Voltaire

Reviewed By LucDevroye

This roomy restaurant with a delightful garden section set in the academic suburb of Heverlee, offers a traditional Belgian selection of meals. It is slightly annoying that if one person at the table takes the set menu, then the whole table must do so. It is probably related to their "unlimited-wine-with-the-menu" policy. For a set menu, the waiting time between dishes was too long, and the price too high for the kinds of dishes in that menu (an example: a crab croquette entree + a duck breast main + ice cream dessert for about 50 Euros). This is not Michelin star dining but well prepared home food.

Bistro Julia en Elias

Reviewed By jomaes66

We were doing a golf tour around Flanders with some tour operators and international journalists and finished our trip in Leuven. A vibrant student city we headed for Julia & Elias and the food was outstanding. The service was impeccable, the menu varied and the food exquisite. For sure an address to take note of.

Taste

Taste is een gastronomisch restaurant met een bohemian look en feel. Voor productkeuken en lekkere mock- en cocktails ben je bij ons aan het juist adres. Om te genieten van schilderijtjes op je bord en smaakbommen in je mond moet je bij Taste zijn. Rustig

Reviewed By Travel_Jan95

Leuven has seen a few new and very good restaurants come on the dining scene lately, but Taste really stands out. Limited choice of dishes, but it guarantees freshness and super quality; moreover, some flexibility is allowed if some dish does not really appeal.The chef and his wife really go out of their way to make this a memorable experience, and the sommelier offers an excellent choice (and knowledge) of wines.We had quite a few lunches since they opened and were pleasantly surprised on each occasion.Thank you for the lovely review! Hope to see you again soon.

Zarza

Fine-food restaurant in Leuven, hospitality & quality stands central, in a non-rigid yet refined framework. During the summer months we welcome you in our city garden, which is nicely surrounded by the rhythm of the city!

Reviewed By Wim B

We had a really nice dinner at Zarza! For students (or anyone under 30) who want to experience fantastic cuisine, they provide a Young Foodies menu. The courses were great, and the wines that went with them were fantastic. We have been here twice now and they do not disappoint!

Couvert Couvert

Reviewed By Luecht

Carrying a Michelin star, one expects high quality dishes and impeccable service. Both are present here but the environment is very sterile and modern, too much so for my liking. Food however and service are great, I just miss the personal touch.

We had a table on the nice shady terrace. Food was marvelous, especially the langoustines, the tarte tatin and the succulent pigeon. Desserts are a must. Correct 1star level. Why not a perfect score: time in between the different courses was really long. Beautiful and affordable winelist. We had a perfect Domus Aurea.
