👍👍 {"0":"Really aestetic place in Leuven.\nThe waiters were super nice (they even charged my phone).\nThere were 2 different choices of espresso: a strong one and a more fruity one (this was pretty good). With every order you can take a little chocolate confection.\nIt\u2019s certainly not the cheapest...

👍👍 We entered here by chance and had the shish kebab. Omg!, omg! The marinated lamb skewers, hummus, baba ganoush, and fattoush were all so incredibly delicious!

Modern Indian restaurant
👍👍 We've been a fan of Samarjit and Tanima since they started cooking as students in Leuven. Though we don't live in Leuven anymore, we keep coming back for their food and their hospitality. First in Hal 5 and now - after a long break due to renovations and a pandemic- we finally got to check out their...

Coffee shop
👍👍 Delicious cold brew and great croissants. Croissant I ate was a little soft but it was tasty. Staff were very friendly, helpful and they were always smiling. They also have a decent music playlist. I can’t comment on the prices as I am new to the city. Thank you so much!

Fine dining restaurant
😐 Just a note, this is a high-end restaurant and for the price you’re paying you’re expected a certain quality. The good: Nice outdoor garden and restaurant interior. The food and drinks (I had the non alcoholic juice menu, and my other companions did the wine menu) were very tasty and unique. The wa...

Italian restaurant
👍 Delicious pizza, one of the best around Leuven. Prices are generally a little higher, but justified by the food quality. Nice and cozy environment, you are treated very well. However, I give 4 stars ‘cause you cannot sell 1L of water at 10€. Not even at the airport!

We came in and the interior is tip top, very nicely done and invites you to eat. We were immediately received and the coats were hung by the waiters, very professional. Once...

👍 Super cool place, very friendly owners who are passionate about what they do. Very inspiring. The beer was not my favourite though, as I am not the biggest fan of craft beer.
