Restaurant
👍 Gezellig om een feest te houden met de familie. Wij krijgen een hapje, voorgerecht en hoofdgerecht die allemaal heel erg gesmaakt hebben. Qua drank keuze is er zeker genoeg alleen miste er wel wat glazen voor bepaalde biertjes.

Bij Sophie
Fast food restaurant
👍 Lekkere en gezellige broodjeszaak. Kan op de middag zeer druk zijn, je gaat dus beter voor of later in de middag. Op middag uur zit het bomvol, tot zelfs buiten. Om er dan rustig binnen te eten gaat niet. Broodjes zijn zeer lekker en vers. Hun mexicano is dan ook zeer lekker. Ze maken soms een nie...

OCTOBAR
Seafood restaurant
👍👍 Had a lovely late afternoon there Saturday 18th of July. Food and wine were amazing, but service was exceptional. One of the girls clearly was new, but she was so nice and real, which made me hope the same people will be there the next time I'll visit. Good job!

Ma Hua
Restaurant
👍👍 First of all, MaHua serves some of the most delicious Chinese food I have ever eaten. Yep, it's costly, there are only six seats, the interior isn't luxurious,... Short, it's not a fancy hipster place. It's simply good food, freshly prepared. As for vegan .... We had five different dishes on two sep...

Syrian restaurant
👍👍 Besser geht's nicht🥰 Meine Frau und ich waren das erste Mal in Leuven und das erste Mal syrisch essen. Fast wären wir an dem kleinen Restaurant, welches das letzte in dieser Gasse ist, vorbei gegangen, weil draußen niemand saß. Zum Glück sprach uns die äußerst nette Bedienung beim Betrachten der...
