We were on our way from the Ardennes to back home (Netherlands). Traffic was busy and I decided on the motorway to search for Restaurants. My navigation directed me to the Waterput. What a great place! Good quality for money! Top food! Great place to remember when we go back to the Ardennes.

Expensive! But very good! We ordered the trio of Australian game: Croco - Kanguru - Bison ! And it didn't dissapoint! Especially the crocodile tastes very good (like chicken).
We drank Foster beer too and ate a desert with the banana slices - only the desert was a huge dissapointment. Only one scoup vanilla ice and a 1/2 banana for almost 10 euros! What a waste of money, will never ever order a desert here. But the main dishes are top!
The service was fast, sometimes to fast!

A wonderfully different restaurant. Went on a Saturday evening with my partner and my daughter who is vegan? As a non vegetarian I was a little apprehensive but was blown away by an amazing vegan dish, consisting of risotto rice, all kinds of perfectly cooked vegetables topped with thick slices of butternut squash.
We also tried 3 different gin and tonics which was fun. The atmosphere and service were also excellent and rounded of a perfect evening.
One note: this restaurant like a number in Belgium from my limited experience, surprisingly doesn't take any cards so remember to take cash.

Our concept Want to socialize with couples, with your family or a business partner extensive and original breakfast, stylish lunch or afternoon enjoying the extensive coffee cake then you're in the Hasselt Maison Blanche is the right place. Delicious seasonal suggestions with fresh products! This is really "eat a la carte". Saturday from 19:30 you can enjoy a cozy evening menu: enjoy guaranteed! The sober but fashionable interiors, terraces and a custom lounge or classical background bring you immediately in a relaxed atmosphere. We forget certainly not the super-friendly and "chic" service. Maison Blanche Hasselt is the place for relaxing start of the day or a fun shopping or work breaks in.

Maison Blanche is an attractive place, even if there's hardly any space between tables. Service is very friendly and efficient. And the dishes look great. Unfortunately, they only look great. The three course tasting menu got us some tasty but unimaginative starters, followed by two pieces of Nile perch with a tasteless salad served in dough. It was made up to look like haute cuisine, but the combination of flavors (if flavors there were) did absolutely nothing. The main course was even worse: sea bream, pureed carrots (grandly named "carrot sabayon"), peppers, potatoes and a number of other ingredients in an arty looking heap. The whole thing was an exercise in mediocrity. As a dessert we got a decent nougatine with Toblerone sauce (probably the only good idea in the whole menu), and with our coffee a very good lukewarm little rice cake.
We took the wine accompaniment and although one wine was ok and one rather good (both were based on Chardonnay), they didn't enhance the flavors of the dishes at all.
Our visit gave us the impression that Maison Blanche tries very hard to look like a culinary refined restaurant, but misses one crucial thing: a good chef.

This is place doesn't look from the outside the quality it has inside. There is room for much improvement. We went ONLY because of the good references. We didn't want to go in because they had a very ordinary way of promoting their food on a blackboard near the road :). The blackboard was accompanied by what is called a Tsolia. So we thought that this Greek restaurant would have the same strange interior mix of ancient pillars with soldiers dressed in Ottomanian clothing what one sees in many Greek restaurants that are created by illiterate immigrants. Anyway, after we were persuaded, we went there and we were very surprised to see a very classy interior instead of ugly wall paintings made by a madman. This restaurant has the olive tree as a symbol and I believe that it's he most appropriate symbol one could use in a Greek restaurant. The service was very good and the owners very kind. The food is excellent and they also have a plate of the day that is made by traditional Greek methods. (Not a Greek snack). We have been here several times and I cannot remember one time we regret coming. Even if we find the food a little bit (10%) overpriced.

Traditional cuisine in a modern setting. The grilled scampi are great, and the desserts are very nice. Do not expect Michelin quality, but plain, ordinary good food.

Reviewed By NataschaR - Heerlen, The Netherlands
Once a year we go for lunch/dinner in a special place. Because of the reviews we choose 'de Kwizien'. We went for lunch and we choose the 5 course season-menu. One of our group does not like fruits and for dessert we had to choose for ice-cream with fruits or cheese (this was asked even before we had the first course!). The person could not get only the ice-cream (with chocolate or something else) and was forced to pick the cheese. We believe for this kind of restaurant this is really weird (the bill was €150 per person including wine).... The rest of the courses was nice but not really surprisingly. This was not a place or lunch we would recommend and we will not return.

Got here really late (11pm). We tried two hours earlier but there wasn't any tables available, so make sure to make a reservation. The kitchen was closing up but they let us order still anything from the grill.
The food was good (nothing extraordinary, but still delicious) and definetly worth the money. Staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was really nice (good quiet greek music + crowded place + nice decoration).
Would recommend if you need a nice place to eat and want to do that with reasonable price tag.

Giovanni Oosters is a topchef. He and his team are preparing exquisite plates with lot of vegetables. Every plate is too pretty to eat. Great taste and very fine wines. Service is outstanding. It will be a pleasure to come back to Vous le Vous.
If you can, ask for a table in front of the kitchen, so you can watch everything they do to prepare your food.
It was a great evening.

Everything is quite okay at this place, but ... I was definitely not flabbergasted (neither were my companions). The setting is nice and the waiters were attentive. The food, however, was no more than just about okay.
We ordered the food when we received our aperitifs, and about a couple of minutes after the food was served. And the food was quite okay, but definitely not a reason to return. For the prices asked in this restaurant, I expect a bit more than mediocre (at max) food.
In short: this place is okay, but there are far more better finds in the area.
