Really enjoy lunch here. Waitstaff called us inside to an empty table so we could be warm. He also brought us English menus and yummy food. The other reviews about the bread are spot on. I may or may not have asked to take a few pieces home. :)

As our visit to Tongeren was a spur-of-the-moment decision, we had no idea what might be a good place to have dinner. A friendly local lady recommended Brasserie Intermezzo on the main square, so we gave it a try. It has al fresco seating with a nice view on the belfry, but on a chilly April evening, we preferred to sit inside. The interior of Brasserie Intermezzo is a bit spartan and not really cosy. Apart from screens showing a slideshow of publicity stills, there is no decoration on the walls. But the atmosphere is relaxed, the tables are not too close to one another and the colour scheme is neutral.One of us had a âhertoginnehapjeâ â a puff pastry with chicken stew in a creamy mushroom sauce, served with chips or potato croquettes and a nice side salad. Surprisingly good for such a touristy location! We also tried the vegetarian âlinguine primaveraâ with aubergine, courgette, mozzarella, pine nuts and pesto. Also yummy! Service was professional and friendly. With two beers and a glass of red wine, we paid around 40 euro. A fair price.

We went here for dinner and had a 3 course meal. They serve excellent food made with surprising combinations of ingredients and unknown ingredients. They also have local wines and beers so even the drinks are an adventure. The service was no nonsense (in a good way) and absolutely perfect. The room is very cosy to sit in with smaller tables alongside the walls and one large table with high stools in the middle. The only negative thing is that we were in this restaurant on a very hot day (30°C outside) and they do not have airconditioning so it was unbearably hot inside. We hope the owners will invest in airconditioning soon. We will definitely return here but on a less hot day.

Several menu options are quite attractive from a quality/price ratio, while a la carte is a bit expensive. Wine list is fairly well stocked and reasonably priced (3 courses at 42 euro). We went for the summer menu, with swordfish tartare to start, followed by guinea fowl. Both quite good, though I would have grilled the fowl a tad less. Excellent dame blanche to end, the apricot dessert was too acid for me but other at my table loved it.Exquisite ambiance, cutlery and glasses.Would definitely return when in Tongeren.

This place, very close to the town center has earned a Michelin star.The interior is formal but the tables are arranged to offer some privacy. A menu in a gastronomic restaurant deserves some intimacy to share the delights with one's partner.We had a superb dinner with assorted wines and could not be happier. Definitely more than worth a relaxed visit. Reservation is essential.

We had the 5 course dinner and we were pleasantly surprised with very original dishes that were extremely tastefull. The service is very warmly and the explanation of the dishes is very informing. We had the Crémant as aperitif and one glass of perfect red wine with the main course. Also the coffee with treats after our meal was a delight. Highly recommended.

Had an exceptional x-mas party with the social club, 50 persons present. The four course menu with accompanying wines were outstanding. The culinary and service level the owners accomplished would put many star restaurants to shame. A definite must if you are a foodie. Enjoy.

Was lucky to be invited for a celebration and we were seated at a beautiful wooden table in the middle of the room. We all ordered the suggested menu. Each course was a celebration between presentation and taste. Run by the owners, the wife is in the kitchen, while the husband does the table service. We had a perfect evening with our friends. Definately going back very soon.

We went for diner in June 2013. The service was excellent. The waiter was allot at the table and served us well. When one of my friends at table ordered a beer and it was forgotten, he got a beer from the house, 2 minutes after asking again for it.As entree I took a the soup of the day. The succhini-cream soup that was served was very good. For the main course I ordered the mixed grill. It wasn't special or fantastic but it was good and plenty. The mustard honey sauce served with the mixed grill was very tasty. As desert we took the sorbet of different fruits. We got 3 scoops, one lime, one mango and one red berries scoop. This desert was very nice and refreshing. The white wine of the house served with our diner was also a good choice. It was a Chardonnay of 2011. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who likes the traditional Belgian, French kitchen.
