Modern Indian restaurant
πŸ‘πŸ‘ 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
πŸ‘πŸ‘ 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...

Middle Eastern restaurant
πŸ‘πŸ‘ 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! The tastes brought back memories of my travelling in the Middle East of more than 20 years ago! What a wonderful culinary experience and very...

Vegan restaurant
πŸ‘ This cozy place is a favourite. Being a vegetarian it is such a relief to find a vegan restaurant which serves such delicious food. I love the sweet potato fries and the cauliflower starter which comes with a in-house sauce.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Had fantastic experience here. Had searched and saw the good reviews from quite a few people, it is just worth 5 out of 5. 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...

Sandwich shop
πŸ‘πŸ‘ It was very decent sandwich house. Even though there were so many options in Dutch and long waiting line in the outside which I've never seen in Leuven, it worth to bear. If you don't know what to order or Dutch, just say "Sandwich of Today". And you will grab a decent sandwich and happiness. Good l...

Piano A
Italian restaurant
πŸ‘ 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 β€˜cause you cannot sell 1L of water at 10€. Not even at the airport!
