Fresh sushi, fair price. Staff actually listened when I asked for no wasabi &mdash; didn&rsquo;t make a fuss about it either. Place isn&rsquo;t fancy but it doesn&rsquo;t need to be. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re nearby and want something quick. Service was friendly, not pushy.

Friendly service and a lovely terrace. Gluten-free options were plenty, mains a bit small though.

The strawberry cheesecake pancakes were so good, honestly the highlight of brunch. Staff was super friendly too. Portions are big for the price.

Came in before opening and the owner still let me sit down. Food was solid and didn&#39;t break the bank. Good spot if you&#39;re in a hurry.

Desserts were the highlight&mdash;that homemade ice cream really hit the spot. Service was solid too. Would come back for another scoop.

Came in for a quick bite around 1pm. Place was packed but we got lucky with a table. Ordered the margherita and a salad. Pizza came out fast, crispy enough, decent for the price. Service was okay, nothing special but they kept it moving. If you&#39;re in a hurry, this works. Just don&#39;t expect a relaxed sit-down vibe.

Oysters and Wagyu carpaccio were spot on, but the Holstein steak really stole it for me. Owner checked in on us a couple times, nice touch. Crepes Suzette for dessert, proper way to end.

The food quality is impressive, especially the mezze platter, which is a great way to start the meal. The lamb stew was tender and flavorful.

The pizza was solid, and the place itself is pretty cozy. I liked the low lighting and the way the tables aren&#39;t crammed together, so you can actually have a conversation without shouting. The student deal is decent if you&#39;re nearby. Just wish they&#39;d open the window a bit, got a little stuffy after a while.

Been coming here on and off for years. Daily menu changes, always something different. Got the veggie dish of the day, portion was decent for the price. Not the cheapest place in Leuven but you can tell the ingredients are fresh. Solid choice if you want a proper meal without meat.

Nice spot on the terrace by the abbey ponds. Food&#39;s okay, standard brasserie stuff. Bit pricey for what you get, but the setting makes up for it.

Fresh spot with a solid veggie selection. Terrace was quiet enough to actually enjoy the meal. Food came out decently quick but I can see it getting busy later.

Hands down the best Portuguese restaurant in Leuven. The owners are the real deal&mdash;genuine Portuguese folks who know their food.

Came for lunch and honestly the seasonal menu surprised me. Everything tasted fresh, not overdone. It&#39;s a tiny place though, so if you don&#39;t book ahead you&#39;re probably not getting in. We got lucky with a table. Portions are decent for the price, nothing fancy but solid. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Came here on a weekday evening with a friend. The set menu had enough options, which was nice. We mentioned a nut allergy and the staff took it seriously, no fuss at all. I had the grilled fish with lemon butter sauce&mdash;simple but really well done. The waiter suggested a white wine that paired perfectly with it. Only thing is the place got a bit loud later, but it didn&#39;t bother me much.

Dropped by for dinner and honestly the food was the highlight. Had the tasting menu with wine pairing &mdash; some real surprises in there. Staff were chill, not over the top. Only thing: it got pretty loud when more tables filled up. Hard to hear my friend across the table at times. Still, solid pick for a nicer night out without the whole stiff vibe.

Decent place for a quick bite. Spaghetti with extra cheese was pretty good and the portion was generous for the price. Nothing fancy, but fine.

Five-course veggie menu was beautifully plated, flavors really delicate. Just slow-paced, don&#39;t come if you&#39;re in a rush.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Steak was solid, pepper cream sauce did the job. Meat quality is definitely above average for this price range. Service was friendly, didn&#39;t have to wait long for the bill either. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something decent without the fuss.

The b&eacute;arnaise really stood out &mdash; proper texture, fresh herbs chopped through it, not that gloopy stuff you get most places. Had it with the steak, worked a treat. Rest of the plate was decent too, nothing crazy but solid cooking. Place was a bit busy for my liking, but the food carried it.

The bruschetta with sardines really stood out&mdash;such a simple thing but done well. I had the vongole too, which was solid. Place was busy but we got a nice quiet table by the window, so that worked out fine. Service was friendly enough, not rushed. A decent spot if you want an easy Italian dinner without any fuss.

Solid burgers and the ribs were properly juicy. Malbec from Argentina went way better with the food than I expected for this part of town. Place feels like a real upgrade from before.

Reasonable prices and a big menu of Belgian classics. Staff were friendly and we got our food quick. Solid spot for a filling lunch.

Stopped by for a kriek and honestly the selection is solid. Had the framboise, it was fresh and not too sweet. Place gets a bit loud later in the evening though. Fine if you just want a quiet beer earlier.

Stopped by for a light bite and a drink. Menu&rsquo;s simple, nothing fancy, but the ingredients tasted fresh. Prices felt fair for what you get. They have board games too, which is a nice touch if you&rsquo;re hanging out with friends. I&rsquo;d go back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

The old-school booths and paintings are so charming, really feels like a different era. Grabbed a seat on the terrace for some people-watching, loved it.

Loved the spice level here &mdash; asked for it a bit milder and they got it just right. Sat outside, which was nice. The fresh herbs on top really made the dish feel lighter. Portion was decent for the price. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.
