Beleuvenissen was so amazing, will definitely come here again. After that everyone was partying in de pubs up until 6 am. Incredible vibes, 5stars

I visited Oude Markt in Leuven and was instantly charmed by its lively vibe. With terraces filled with people and historic buildings all around, it truly feels like the heart of the city.

The Oude Markt in Leuven (Belgium) is one of the city’s most famous landmarks and gathering places. It’s often nicknamed “the longest bar in the world” because the entire square is lined with cafés, bars, and restaurants, one next to the other.

Lively spot in the center of Leuven. The Oude Markt is full of terraces, cafés, and great energy at any time of day. Perfect place to meet friends, grab a drink, and enjoy the local atmosphere. Always something happening here.

The place is phenomenal. Cafe places are crowded, but they are very lovely. You can find everything over there: cafe places, restaurants, fast food, bars.. etc. It is better to walk around.. don't rely on a car because some streets are very narrow and cars are not allowed there. If you are looking for history, entertainment, and fun time. This is the best place

This place is so beautiful, I didn't have the chance to visit during the day, only at night, but it was so full of people and visually stunning :')

A beer lovers paradise with ove 40 bars Cafe Belgium was my favourite

Very tasty meat chowder with bread. Generous serving. Mostly young ambiance. Just wish tap water was served for free :) Recommended!

We ordered two wraps. While my partner enjoyed the wrap, I didn’t. The plate, on which my food was brought, was dirty. It didn’t make my meal pleasant. The drink was far too basic for being home made and 4 euro’s (store juice). The homemade lemonade is just water with a little lemon juice in it. The price for the amount of food was decent. It’s really a place for students, which makes the atmosphere lively and fun. The outdoor setting is also spacious. We enjoyed the vibe of the place, but not the food. Just manage your expectations for this place.

Nice atmosphere and friendly vibe. The onion soup was really good, but I didn’t love the meatloaf with cherry sauce and the chowder with meat balls and chicken. Overall, the food seemed good quality, just not all to my taste.

The staff were incredibly kind and friendly. The young waitress who served us even asked where we were from, and we chatted for a bit. The portions are huge, and please don’t be put off by the presentation – my husband got his stuffed bread in a plastic container with a lid, we received our tortilla on a plastic tray, and the salad came in a plastic bowl. Despite that, the food was delicious and excellent. It feels like having lunch at your grandparents’ house.

The outdoor seating was a great feel. Went there after reading good reviews about the place and I was not disappointed. The portions were adequate and decent price. Definitely recommended.

A restaurant & cafe located in a small square & frequented by scores of students from the local university. It has a vibrant and energetic atmosphere which makes the place great for a quick bite or drink. The servers, who seem to be students as well, are friendly and helpful, and the food was good. There is some indoor seating, but all the action takes place in the large outdoor area that spills out toward the center of the square. If you're touring Leuven this is a great spot to soak up the local atmosphere, and if you want to sit outside when it's cold don't worry - they give you blankets!

Amazing place to eat and drink. Excellent beer and food choices and ridiculously cheap! Staff were absolutely amazing and really friendly and knowledgeable. I will visit this place every time I come back to Leuven.

A brewery that has been around long enough to be considered an institution in town. The decor is classic tavern style, cozy and warm. They brew their own beers and also offer a wide variety of bottled ones. The food menu includes their famous pasta, along with local dishes, many of which use their beers in the recipe. The spaghetti Bolognese comes in a large bowl and is surprisingly satisfying. Their recipe is not classic but somehow it's tasty. A great place for a beer and comfort food.

Domus was a great «brauhaus» to visit and dine in, especially since it was both dark, cold and rainy outside during out visit. The venue is the polar opposite of the outside we were in - warm, charming, relaxing and inviting! Their meals are hearty, filling and tasty and their very own homemade beers are also a plus. All in all was Domus a great visit, the food was generally quite good and the venue nice and the workers friendly and chatty, but it was hard to get ahold of them, it could sometimes be quite noisy and some of ours foods lacked some flavor and aroma. Still, Domus is a great place for a hearty meal.

Came in for an early lunch while killing some time on a Sunday waiting to check into my room. Had the Domus beer sampler (Pilsner, Brown, and Strong White), along with the Flemish Beef Stew with a small salad and fries.beer and food was good. The bar/restaurant was spacious, the atmosphere good, the service was very friendly. I'll probably be back to try some other beers, and also their wings that others have recommend in other reviews.

Amazing food and the service was spectacular. Our server was very nice and spoke very good English. The Kwak Bier was very good

We tried their beers, Belgian dinner plate for two and mussels, it was great. Location is perfect, service as well.

We ordered multiple dishes, for the starters the Shrimps garlic butter was delicious, the salad with cheese mozzarella was nice, the fried potato was okay. The main dishes i had filet which was very dry i couldn't eat it, the spaghetti was decent, the hamburger was also a bit overcooked. The cream brulee dessert was not good also. The drinks and cocktails were good. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the location is good in city center, we didn't enjoy the food that much.

This restaurant is huge with so many rooms and levels with an outside area but you can’t reserve it online. Had a great Flemish stew and their own beer. All the food was good and came quickly. The waiters on the other hand were spread thin and took forever to get served. I’ve been here in different seasons and it’s the best place in town to eat.

Beautiful church in a beautiful city. Although the the inside is decorated a bit frugally compared to other churches, it still awes you with its majestic architecture and size.

Leuven’s biggest cathedral and a nice place to visit while you’re in the town center. No ticket needed and while it’s cold outside this can also be a sanctuary if you’re looking for a little bit of warmth. That beside the point, the artworks and collections are quite amazing. There’s a dungeon that act as another praying room.

Nice Church to visit in Leuven. Located near Grote market and Town hall. Entry is free and bus stop is very near to the church.

The origins of Sint-Pieterskerk (Saint Peter’s church) date back to the 10th century. Construction of this Brabant Gothic church continued through the 15th century with its towers used as a municipal belfry. Its belfry is part of the collection of Belgian belfries recognized by UNESCO. The interior is bright even on cloudy days thanks to the white colored walls and many large windows. It is free to enter the church.

The Saint Peter’s Church is definitely one of the most important places to be in Leuven. You will find here the famous paintings of Dierick Bouts, medieval flamish artist from the 15th century. What impressed me most in on one side the medieval church with its uncountable numbers of arts and the long history behind the city of Leuven and on the other side the artificial intelligence driven guided tour allowing you to be part of the history. Don’t miss the tablet tour of Dierick Bouts! I hope that this cutting edge technology will be just the beginning of guided tours and will be further extended to more and more artists, painting and installing in this church. I do strongly recommend the guided tours offered by the tourism office. The guides are well educated, with a lot of historical knowledge and the educational background needed.

This imposing church is so impressive that even if wasnt at its prime locations, will be easy to find. Once entered you will be well rewarded seeing the inner beauty, you can wander into the peace and quiet admiring the ornate interior Definitely worth a visit

Fell into Leuven and this beautiful, elegant church. So impressed and a lovely fresh and light take on religion rather than some of the heavy and ornate churches. So lovely. The carved pulpit is a work of Art in itself.

Great Belgian restaurant. Highly recommend. Host was super welcoming and made recommendations for food for aussies that want to try Belgian dishes. Matched us some beers to go with the food and helped entertain our 2 year old at times so we could relax a little. Real gem of a place. Loved it. The hostess was so fabulous.

The best steak I've ever eaten. I've had the privilege to enjoy some really, really good steaks, but this one, accompanied by the must luscious Roquefort sauce, was absolutely beyond anything else. You just have to try. The mussels were also of superior quality and finding a place that can deliver both on such a high level is just incredibly rare! This is not just a restaurant this is treasured institution.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere very relaxed. Highly recommended Belgium restaurant in Leuven!

If you are in Belgium, mussels and fries are a must!!! This is a nice place to have dinner. There are so many combinations; white wine, garlic, cream, leek, and so on. You can mix them and have it your style. You should try the soup as well. It’s a shame I couldn’t eat them all. It was a large portion for me. Staffs were very welcoming and kind :) It is a nice place to visit with family or friends and quiet.

I have worked in some of the finest restaurants and am very hard to please with certain things, especially mussels. I chose the leek cream sauce and I must say these were the BEST mussels I have ever had! The staff was incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful, which can be hard to find at times in certain parts of EU. Kudos to the staff!

WORST spot I’ve been on my visit to Leuven! The recommended beef tartar was over priced low quality ground beef.The mussels looked just as unappealing. It’s a skip for me

Overpriced classic Belgian food. Prices advertised on online menu are not correct. The mussels were on the smaller side and had sand in them, that's disappointing after the hype. The kip fillet provincial was ok to be honest, fills the stomach and good. Their puree is yummy. Nothing wow but rather its ok.

The tacos were amazing! They also had a Chicken tinga option which was delicious and is very rare in most other Mexican eateries. The staff was very polite and helpful. The establishment itself is a bit small, but great for take aways and deliveries! The flavours were simply amazing. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys Mexican food!

Great tacos with fresh ingredients and tasty flavour. The seating area is quite big and the staff are very friendly and quick service

So we had a burrito bowl with carnitas and hot salsa and a burrito with barbacoa and Pico de gallo. Food was average at best in terms of flavour. Hot salsa wasn't really hot. Both carnitas and barbacoa also lacked any flavour, tasted more like just boiled meat. In fact only overwhelming taste both of the burritos had was the taste of sour cream which it was very generously doused in. Also the drinks (lemonades) were served in their plastic bottles. It's not a cafeteria, it's a restaurant! I wouldn't recommend it as a mexican restaurant. However it's not a bad choice if you are looking for a generic salad bowl.

Great service excellent food, Rafa and Jordan were fun and easy to order from. Chose my own burrito toppings and got a strawberry margarita

Everything was fantastic—the burrito was packed with flavor, the restaurant was clean and well-kept, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Ari was warm, attentive, and gave spot-on suggestions that really elevated the meal. Great experience all around!

Good food, fast service a bit pricey but worth it. I reccomend the homemade iced tea

Super sweet staff! we ordered 2 naked burrito bowls and the bowls were packed. The also offer protein/workout bowls which is amazing. Definitely coming back more often to this place. 10/10 recommend!

I loved it. At first i was thinking i just went for it. It was amazing. Very good service and friendly . Food was awesome 5/5 ⭐️

Been here several times. Good atmosphere, food is quite good, although pizza is a bit burnt. The main point for improvement is the service. Sometimes they put a basket with bread and butter on your table, and sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they forget to bring you your beverage.

Really nice pizza with an amazing homemade tomato sauce. The staff is very friendly, the ingredients are fresh, the service is super fast and the dough is very tasteful. The pizzas are not very expensive, but if you go for the wine, prepare to pay 20/30 for a bottle, good italian wine though.

Pizza was good, but overcharged for sure. Asked for 6 bottles of water and only received 5, then was told they took an empty away. Also charged for a meal we did not order. Will never go back again. Don't like dishonesty.

Excellent pizza, friendly staff, would recommend.

Their prizes are crazy, and the owner trying to lie to us. 9€ a shot of limoncello, crazy, and in the ticket said 21% diffrencies. We asked for the menu card to see if that was truth and they told us to leave the restaurant. Not normal the service either, they kept forgetting what we were ordering. For sure we will not be back there.

Fantastic service. The taste is great but the portion is too little.

This is a modern authentic Pakistani restaurant 👌 with hands-on providing a classy menu combined with the modern test of traditional Pakistani food that suits the international market. Simply speaking, everything you eat and drink here has the touch and blessing of the mother who was the founder of the restaurant and the journey continued with her sons who are a consistent and generous example of how their business should continue with the mother's blessings. I'm not gonna tell more and let your imagination work until you come here and enjoy the real experience. Superb and highly recommended 👌

What a joke. We waited three weeks for a reservation, thinking we were in for something special. What we got instead was a masterclass in overhype and under-delivery. Between four of us, we ordered around 8 to 10 dishes — not a single one was worth remembering, let alone recommending. I’ve eaten a lot of Pakistani food — homemade, street food, hole-in-the-wall joints — and this was not it. The biryani? A crime. Doused in tomato paste like someone confused it with pasta sauce. The sabzi? Steamed vegetables in a watery red sludge masquerading as curry. Offensive to actual Pakistani cooking. This place hides behind a story and some theatrics, hoping you won’t notice the food is bland, basic, and bizarrely overpriced. Strip away the smoke and mirrors, and you’re left with food that belongs in a budget buffet — not on a pretentious tasting menu.

We both had a delicious cocktail and went for the vegetarian side of the menu card. The presentation and taste of the dishes were perfect. A great culinary experience. The service was good and the ambience, interior with open kitchen and overall atmosphere were great. The restaurant was full and we had to book 3 weeks in advance. There’s obviously a reason for that!

Nice and cosy place. Yes it is a bit crowdy because everybody loves it but the tables are just the right size to share the lovely food. We tasted a bit of the vege and the other Pakistanese tapas and each one is delicious, even the dessert. Funny names for the food and drinks as well. Recommend it to all. Will definitely revisit.

Cosy and beautiful! This restaurant serves Pakistani cuisine with a modern touch. As someone who is familiar with these flavours, I can tell you that the restaurant has done a fantastic job in keeping the flavours bold, fun and real. We had their signature set menu which had starters, main course and desert. The restaurant is doing a great job with their cocktails too and it’s definitely a must try. Overall the food and drinks were flavoursome and well plated. The ambience is tastefully done and it just elevates your dining experience The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and is ready to help you with the menu. They are well organised and I would highly recommend making a reservation before you visit as the place is always packed. Thankyou Team Rafat! 😊

I have been to this restaurant numerous times and everytime I have tried new dishes and drinks and enjoyed the visit immensely. Highly recommended, you will enjoy from the moment you step into a unique and exceptional experience! Enjoy

Good place with nice atmosphere. Great cocktails. Some dishes are amazing, some are underwhelming, especially for the price. I hope they’ll change their menu more often: I went a second time two months later and I couldn’t taste anything new, since you order almost all dishes on the menu when you’re with a group. I also felled quite stressed eating there because the staff expects you to be finished in not much more than an hour and a half. When paying this price I’d rather take my time. 3.5/5

A beautiful and serene escape from the city. The garden is well-maintained, with a wide variety of plants, flowers, and peaceful walking paths. I especially enjoyed the calm atmosphere and the chance to take some lovely photos surrounded by nature. A perfect place to relax, breathe, and reconnect with the natural world. Definitely worth a visit!

I was here during autumn so lots of the plants were not blooming but it’s still such a nice place to just sit and enjoy the views. No ticket needed as it’s free and you can also see people just jogging around it. Perfect place to contemplate.

The Botanical Garden of Leuven (Kruidtuin), founded in 1738, is the oldest in Belgium. It features a wide variety of plants, greenhouses with exotic species, medicinal herbs, and peaceful walking paths, making it a relaxing spot to explore nature in the heart of the city.

Nice garden to visit a must if you like plants and gardening they also research into the health benefits of plants it is free to come and wander around have a look at the tropical pants in the green house.

Extremely beautiful, lots of plants, trees, flowers, and it’s so well taken care of. It looks magical. One of the most beautiful places I’ve been.

Superb botanical garden and very jealous of the space. We saw alot of exotic plants and trees and super well kept. Highlights were the Musa, oranges, kumquat and the turtles. If you’re closeby, its worth visiting. There are toilets available (clean), wheelchair accessible and a small information center with some booklets. There is bicycle parking in front of the entrance.

Beautiful botanic garden with amazing interior and exterior. Whenever I pass by I stroll through just to enjoy the atmosphere.

We’ve been living in this residence for a few years now. I must say, if you’re visiting Leuven, you absolutely shouldn’t miss Groot Begijnhof. Its historical architecture is truly mesmerizing. Every street reveals different houses and glimpses of past lives. Recently, some infrastructure work has been taking place in part of the area, so if you’re planning to visit during the summer of 2025, be aware that some entrances are closed and walking around the church might be a bit difficult.

Incredible walking experience there. There was some renovation done in some part of area but in general it’s a very enjoyable experience with exploring the small aisle and looking at the old buildings. I was there during weekday so it was pretty quiet.

Beautiful and peaceful place in the heart of Leuven. The Groot Begijnhof feels like stepping back in time with its quiet cobblestone streets, historic houses, and calm atmosphere. Perfect for a walk, some photos, or just to disconnect from the city noise. A must-see in Leuven.

I strolled through the Groot Begijnhof in Leuven and instantly felt its centuries-old charm. As I entered through the main gate, those traditional sandstone buildings and winding cobblestone lanes made me feel like I had stepped back in time. Each house, some with striking crow-stepped gables and tiny old windows, reveals layers of history and story. The peaceful courtyards and scenic river views added to the atmosphere. This restored “town-within-a-town” is a unique place and quiet yet full of character, offering an authentic glimpse into Leuven’s past and the life once led by its beguines.

The Groot Begijnhof in Leuven is a beautifully preserved 13th-century beguinage and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once home to religious women called beguines, it features cobbled streets, red-brick houses, gardens, and stone bridges over the River Dijle. Restored in the 1960s, it now belongs to KU Leuven and serves as housing for students and professors. It’s a peaceful quarter perfect for a quiet walk through history.

It’s a breathtaking testament to history and architectural grandeur, buildings of Gothic and Renaissance styles. It can be called as the hidden place of Leuven. Not much crowded place. Good place to have some memories.

Pretty place, worth visiting. Well preserved and rehabilitated buildings.

Wonderful park! Cute ponds and beautiful trees, a lot of place to sit and relax or walk around. Pretty crowded at this time of year but not too crowded.

Perfectly nice park except for all the trash. Young people can keep sticking to the idea that they're saving the world, but they can barely manage to take their crap with them when they leave.

Nice tidy small park to walk through. Dogs or not.a small pond with ducks on.plents of grass to sit on or picnic.

It could be an excellent place to have a picnic during the day. Nothing much to see, though; just enjoying the vibe and the sunshine.

It's just a demo of some 3D motorized models. But it was not very pleasant to pack tens of noise-making silicon monsters in such a crowded space. Can be more attractive if there is a live show .

A cozy park to enjoy with your family and have a picnic on a Sunday afternoon.

Nice little park to walk around or just chill

Extremely average food. If you arent picky and you just want something easy, this is a nice spot. But.. It seems they are overcompensating for their lack of attention to the meat by overloading their buns with toppings and sauce. If the sauces were better, the toppings better balanced, then I would give a higher score. But I could easily get something of equal quality for half the price from a grocery store. The interior is modern and the staff very friendly.

TL;DR I’m celiac and went for the gluten-free options but the buns & fries made in a shared convection oven with gluten-containing items, so the bowls are the safest option. I went here yesterday to try the hot dogs and I ended up having a delicious meal, however I was a bit disappointed initially because I couldn’t actually get the haute dogs with a bun or the fries. They seem knowledgeably about celiac and the mostly the whole menu can be made gluten free, however the buns and fries are made in a shared convection oven (which circulates air, and thus gluten) with gluten/containing buns, etc. This is unavoidable for the buns because they have to cook from frozen and that can’t be done on their grill. At first they didn’t realize this and did say it’s safe, but as soon as I mentioned it about the fries, the staff went out of their way to tell me that the buns are prepared the same way so I could make a decision to not get it, I appreciated that a lot! They do have a separate grill and ingredients, so I ended up getting a Caesar bowl which was delicious and I didn’t get sick. Personally I’m more careful so I didn’t trust the buns and fries, but it’s up to you and your tolerance. I really hope they can get a separate method for the gluten free buns and fries so we can enjoy them safely too!

Good hotdogs, nice side dishes and a variety of drinks to choose from. Prices were affordable and service was okay.

Relatively affordable and great for vegetarians/vegans. Centrally located, but not near any of the main restaurant streets which allows for a nice break from the crowds. Staff was very friendly (only a small mix up in the order). Service was quick!

Delicious food and creative creations. We love this place, already a family and friend favorite. Great beers and paring selections. Menu is not overwhelming and each item is superb and delicious.

Food here is amazing. I had the dog monsieur, coleslaw, potato wedges and grapefruit limonade. It may sound pedestrian. It's not. It's the foods we take for granted taken to 11. I simply cannot describe how delicious The coleslaw is. I would rather you come try it yourself.

Great Food and Great variety for Vegans and Vegetarians !! Loved the variety of salad - Specially the Thai bowl , it was filling and refreshing and also tasty 😊. The most important thing bout the place is it’s okay extremely great for fitness freaks and salad lovers ❤️

This building is certainly one that has impressed me the most while visiting Leuven. It is centre of Leuven. Leuven's Town Hall is the historic city's pièce de résistance. Moreover, it's one of the best-known Gothic town halls worldwide. It took three architects and thirty years to build it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 235 statues, which were only added to the facade after 1850.

A beautiful building in the center of Leuven with 235 statues to admire. It’s a must see if you are visiting Leuven. There are daily one hour tours in Dutch and English and on the weekend in French. In these tours you visit the interior of the building while learning about the history. The cost is 4 euros and you can buy tickets in the tourist office around the corner. Starting in September 2024, this building will be closed for renovation until 2029. So if you want to take a tour, I would recommend doing it now!

Magnificent and Magical - this is the most iconic spots in Leuven. Don’t forget to book a guided tour if you want to visit the interiors. The inside of the town hall is well preserved with wooden ceilings and chandeliers transporting us to that era. Very beautiful!!!

Such a beautiful city hall, happening square. Especially great in winter with Christmas lights. Preferable to go at-least once and to keep in your bucket list.

This city town hall is one of most beautiful hall, it's just stunning with the little detail of arts. Especially, with the sunset light reflex toward the Hall, just gorgeous.

This is the best-known Gothic town hall. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 235 statues Which took three architects and thirty years to build it.

Spectacular building with a Flemish Gothic façade, although the remains of Leuven's first town hall, built in 1439 and located on the main square, are no longer preserved. It has been destroyed and rebuilt three times in the last hundred years, the last time after the Second World War. On the outside we can see 236 statues, all of them of important figures in the history of the city, arranged by floors: on the ground floor we find academics and artists, on the ground floor religious figures, on the first floor members of the nobility and finally, at the top of the towers, scenes from the Bible are represented.

Very friendly stuff, tasty food and Oh my God, what a location! Stunning !

We had a small group dinner here. Food was tasty and portions sufficiently large that we did not need dessert. Quick shoutout to Mika who was very prompt and helpful in making the diners comfortable!

Extremely unfriendly and rude people. We came with a big international corporate group, for after meeting drinks and bites, waited for over 15 minutes with no service despite going inside to request it. We moved over next door where we were seated and ordered in 5 minutes

Highly recommended, especially over the neighbors! I went back twice for the Bouillabaisse, which was creatively presented and very well flavored! The rabbit stew was also excellent. They serve great peanuts with your drink. Great location in the city center and central square. Service can be a little inconsistent, but that should not detract from an overall excellent experience!

Best rib eye steak Argentina in town.

I had toast champignon for lunch and it was copious and delicious. Not too creamy as it was topped with parmesan cheese. Nice salad on the side as well. It was kinda pricy but they used different kind of mushrooms, so I guess for this location it wasn't exuberant. The interior wasn't More-inspired, but Winter themed, which was very cozy. The working cuckoo clock was a nice attribute.

Very friendly staff. We were very late and close to closing time, but we still could place our order for a beer. Thank you. So we went back in April 2024 and got the same fine treatment, plus terrace heating till closing time... which was in the early morning hours. You can't hardly leave this place. Toilets were spotles and with napkins! Gratulations!

Some of the most unique flavour and texture combinations, we chose one of the set menus and the different courses didn’t disappoint. The service was a little on the slow side, but overall a lovely evening.

Classy fine restaurant with a casual vibe to it. They accomodated my pescatarian taste and things went well. Food is high quality and the service is friendly. A bit over priced for what it is but is not terribly bad. I heard a lot of positive things about this place and was glad that I tried it. Nothing earthshattering, but its very good. I can return one day.

Absolutely unique place in Leuven. Service, food, wine, everything top level. Highly recommended.

Central restaurant in the pedestrianised zone that is very welcoming. The staff are charming and helped us choose the right number of courses from the set menu and accompanying craft beer. The food was absolutely delicious and the whole experience most delightful.

Favourite place in Leuven! Food is always so delicious and unique, must vsist when in Leuven, highly recommend

It’s a small restaurant in a pedestrian area in Leuven. Excellent food with fresh ingredients. Quality price for day menu is reasonable. If you want to eat big portions you should choose from la carte. Make a reservation otherwise you don’t get a table. This restaurant is always full in lunch hours. The service is excellent

Lovely evening and the restaurant was really nice, the food was excellent, service was a bit slow

The cool atmosphere and friendly staff make it a delightful dining experience. The menu boasts a variety of dishes, each prepared with fresh ingredients and a touch of creativity. While it may not be the most budget-friendly option. Their desserts are a must-try! Whether for a romantic dinner or a special celebration, Lukemieke offers a memorable culinary journey in Leuven.

Love this vegetarian restaurant. I always come here for the plate of the day, which is a selection of items that changes everyday. It's amazing what they can do with simple ingredients like carrots and broccoli. Even my father in law (who usually calls vegetarian food, rabbit food) loved it!

Very tasty vegetarian meal! Cosy atmosphere and delicious desserts! A bit costly if you’re a student.

This place is a Leuven establishment. My mom used to come here with friends to prove to them that vegetarian food was great. They continue to offer excellent vegetarian meals and friendly service. I recommend getting their dish of the day. It is always delicious.

The best place to enjoy vegetarian food. The owners are simply amazing cooks that are kind and always open to strike up conversation. They have a terrace in the back that's calm and green. The food is just so good, go and try it.

Super delicious, definitely will come back again!! For vegetarian dishes, I don’t want some fake vegetarian burger or whatever, just cook the vegetables in the way how they originally taste. Here they made it.

We love Lukemieke and it is popular amongst locals. No-nonsense and very sincere service, we like the two hardworking ladies/cooking goddesses of the house, and the cute daughter of one of the chefs. Healthy and delicious, soulwarming food. We always feel good and fulfilled when we leave. This restaurant is consistent in its decent quality. Point of advice to newcomers : if the front is full of reservations she often still has space in the back. If you get seated it is up to you to go get a little glass bowl filled with appetizer. She will then come to take your order. I always take the soup and dish of the day/‘dagschotel’ which is available in either small or big portion. Don’t even get me started about the pies - they are absolutely delicious.

Must go. Creative, non traditional, surprising. This chef is not just a true food artist but also passionate about hospitality. Do try the menu with the "small" glasses recommended wines (when you decide on more than 4 courses), they know what they are doing. In this place, they first choose the wine and then the chef creates a dish to accompany the wine! And he delivers, every course is a surprise. Must go!

This restaurant was a fantastic find on our trip to Leuven. The interior design is very calming and interesting. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable about the wine and the food. The food itself was inventive and delicious. The drink pairings were excellent: full wine pairing, half glass wine pairing (bob), a beer pairing and a non-alcoholic pairing which is very unique and much appreciated. We had a fantastic evening here; the food was enhanced by the friendliness of the people and it made for an unforgettable night in Leuven. Enjoy the festival guys!

Amazing restaurant. We had the 6 course menu with accompanying beers and wines. The food was good, and my personal favourite was the langoustine. I liked the vibes of the restaurant as it's not too stiff and the staff is really easy going. The somelier was really knowledgeable about wines and I loved the mini ice-cart at the end. The cheese desert came with a huge cart and they created one big plate for us to taste all the cheeses available which were procured from the local cheese master Elsen. The beers were a good change of the typical Belgian beers, rather they used European microbreweries such as La Source, Braxatorium and Hof Ter Dormaal. Personally I would like to see more options for the beers (e.g. lambiek sours for the cheese). But still overall pleasantly surprised there was at least the option of some good craft beers available. Just be aware that this quality comes at a steep price, but overall I think it was really worth it.

What a great restaurant!!! It's a super gem in Leuven. The restaurant itself is quite nicely decorated, and the vibe was very relaxed. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and they did their best to accommodate our needs and to describe everything in English to us. The food was also fantastic. The menu offered by the chef was delicious and with great combinations of ingredients. The wine pairing was excellent. Also the dessert was fantastic and they even surprised us with a cool ice cream at the end. Great experience and worth it. Definitely recommend it

Amazing food is one thing, and Taste really hits the spot here. But there's more: at Taste you always feel welcome, every member of the staff knows his or her role perfectly. The chef greets every table and explains his menu with passion. Flawless execution. Been here many times since the opening 1.5 years ago, and still consider this the best restaurant Leuven has to offer !

This very fancy restaurant is modern and classic at the same time. The staff is very friendly and sometimes even funny, which lightens up the entire mood. The food is of course great but surprising combinations and a very detailed visual aspect. Nice wines, bread in between meals, different types of dessert with your coffee and even before leaving the building... Small things that make this restaurant a lil different from others. You won't leave here with anything but to come back. Suprises everywhere and just a very nice evening for those who like to pay once in a time an abundance of money to have a culinary moment.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Taste restaurant, and I have to say it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. The 5-course meal was absolutely delicious, with each dish more flavorful and expertly prepared than the last. The owners were incredibly friendly and made sure that we were taken care of throughout the entire meal. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, making it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and excellent service. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special night out.
