We had a starter, asparagus with smoked eel, tasty, nicely served, but for 18 Euros you expect more than the quantity you expect to be an amuse! The main dishes were fine, but 29 Euro for a small piece of cod-fish, sides such as a few wedges of potato (5 Euro extra), veggies (starting at 5 Euro extra) have to be ordered and paid for separately. That makes a simple dish very expensive.The wine was good.A surprise when we received the bill, a 70 cl bottle of tap water is charged 6.20 Euro! Sorry guys, but that's really, really far over the top!

Relaxed ambience in a beautiful historic building. Mains were vegetarian pumpkin Thai curry, Indonesian chicken curry and Mexican chilli. All were acceptable, tasty but just a little bit too toned down; making the mains more exciting would lift this food experience. The wines were not well matched to the food - one cheap supermarket variety and one eco wine - we went for the latter and it was smooth, but not strong enough to accompany this type of food. The highlight was the desserts: pannacotta nice, mousse nicer, and lime speculoos cheesecake the star of the meal.

We had a nice birthday dinner with family. Food is of an excellent quality, choices on the à la carte menu is suffcient. Would prefer a little bit more vegetables on the meat disches. I understand you orde a meat dish, but that can also have some more vegetables. Staff is friendly, service is good .Dear Arnaud M,Thank you for sharing your feedback on Tripadvisor and for your compliments. I am thrilled you enjoyed the food and overall experience in our restaurant. I will be happy to share your feedback with my entire team and tell them that your birthday dinner was a great succes. In the past we served vegetables on every plate but unfortunatelly more than half of our customers didn't care about vegetables. It was a waste. So we decided not to serve vegetables and lowered the price of the dish. We then gave our customers the choice to order a salad or vegetables as a side dish. You can find our side dishes in our menu, at the bottom of the page "Meat" and "Fish". I hope we have informed you for your next visit and we are looking forward welcoming you again as our guest in the near future!Kindest regards,

In warm weather, the outdoor terrace provides a fine view of Mechelen's splendid Grote Markt and the spectacular St Romboutskatedraal beyond. Good draught 50cl Jupiler for a reasonable â¬4.50 and friendly service. But a pity about the interior. On a previous visit two and a half years previously, this Tripadvisor had noted it as the only obvious place in central Mechelen that had any antique charm and had made a mental note to return. Sadly, all that's gone with an unsympathetic renovation.Thank you for taking time to write this review. We are happy to hear that you had a nice time in Chalex. Although we didnt renovate the place, we only get positive comments about its cleanliness. The old dirty decor is out and very few things are replaced. However, de gustibus non est disputandum.We certainly hope to see you back.
