We enjoyed a fabulous meal at Arenberg. As a group of ten we had a pre-arranged set menu but everything from appetisers to petit fours was top notch in every respect. House wines were well paired with outstanding food which was enjoyed by all of us. Restaurant is understandably busy given the quality and value on offer, but service was exemplary and the staff were attentive and enthusiastic. Wonderful 5* experience. Thank you.

We sat outside for a business dinner just a couple blocks from the castle on the university grounds.
The prix fixe was phenomenal especially paired with the wine.
Service was also top notch
For americans, they have English menus and every wait staff spoke English from good to better than some americans I know
Definitely need to go back.

Fantastic food, delicate and sophisticated. Service is very friendly and the room is light, modern but not cold, with enough space between the tables to feel intimate. The 3 course lunch menu at 45 euros is a great value, coming with 3 pre-starters. Interesting and original flavours. The a-la-carte menu and dégustation menu are more expensive but for a meal to remember it is worth the trip.

upon arrival, we got a homemade lemonade on the Terrace, refreshing. Aperitifs were original: fresh apple juice (top), a local lager, a fresh gueuze, ... and all the classic ones.
We went for the 4 course. Some nice appetizers were followed by a fresh Holstein beef tartar. Than came a very fresh dish with a variety of radish. Main was a perfectly cooked cod with some cockles and buttermilk. Dessert was based on 'kriek'beer. We had a surprisingly fresh orange wine to go with its. Perfect service.

The portions were so small, and we are used to nouvelle cuisine, that I could not help apologising to our guests as I feared they probably did not have enough to eat. How embarrassing is that! Nevertheless what we all ate was good but just a word of advice make sure you have three courses and if you are big eater go somewhere else!

Mixed feelings despite high expectations. The focus seems to be on gadgets (for the waiters and guests) and presentation of the plates.
Positive factors: location, view, parking, space between the tables, light and attentive multilingual service, amuse de bouche and food presentation (including an extended detailed verbal introduction of bit and piece) by very well trained servants. Some food items are also tasty, some are average...
Improvement areas: mess with the waiters should be addressed (everyone serves every table, miscommunication of what has been already ordered), plates are not served simultaneously (we had to wait for main courses after our daughter was served for 5 minutes), the chef tries curiously looking meals but some are just OKish, no indication towards the restrooms (my wife even stepped into gents by mistake) which remain under reconstruction, overall atmosphere is not cosy neither posh...
That said it's a very promising eatery with experimenting chef and eager to perform staff! That comes at price, of course.
Will be back to see how it improves to excellence (or gets the 1st Michelin star)!

Had the lunch menu, which was OK: not the biggest portions, but enough. Very nicely presented. The tastes were decent enough, but I expected it to be a bit more special -- maybe also due to the way they present it, it didn't live up to my expectations.
The staff were quite friendly. The restaurant itself has a nice interior.
