Slava Kramarov★★★★★

This restaurant has a very interesting concept where you can order various sizes of the same dish. This way you can sample multiple main courses by ordering them in small sizes, or you can order one dish as small to be an appetizer and one dish medium or large as a main course. The dishes themselves were very creative, tasty and perfectly prepared. Where this restaurant lacks is the service because it's very very slow. If you happen to be sitting outside, it may take forever for a waiter to come to your table to take your next order for food or drinks (it took about an hour to serve two sma

Very tasty food, definitely will return with friends. I got the chow mei, ribs and lemonade. The chow mei was very flavorful and the lemonade looked beautiful. I ordered the smallest portion for everything but perhaps one medium one small would have been more satisfying? We sat outside so it was quite windy and chilly, but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless.

A delicious tapas-style restaurant. Had the corn (medium) and bao buns (medium) which each cost 16 euros. We thought this was a bit pricey but have to say the taste was definitely up to standard. We also had the nachos (9.50) and a goats cheese bagel (7.50) which were quite filling so overall a great meal. For drinks they have some nice Belgian beers on tap such as Karmeliet and Kwak. Service was a bit slow even for Belgian standards and I think the outside area could be nicer. Definitely worth a visit if you like good food though.

Veronika “Veroshin_Nose”★★★★★

Creative kitchen and nice concept of dish size options. We tried nectarine with halloumi, mats with jalapeno, cannelloni. Everything was tasty. Mats(fish) was more like an appetizer, nectarine like a salad - small size was enough for me, cannelloni was a very filling dish and middle size was quite enough for my partner. Tasty beer, no beer samples. Nice place for late dinner. Kitchen is closed around 10 pm.
