Top 10 European food in Leuven, Flemish Brabant Province, Belgium

August 24, 2019 Chanda Heide

Reviews on European food in Leuven, Flemish Brabant Province, Belgium. The old Burgundian university town of Leuven offers a range of adventures for overnight visitors or day-trippers from Bruges and Brussels. Tourists will find everything from gastronomic tours to architectural gems like the Gothic Town Hall. Nature lovers won’t be disappointed. The Kruidtuin Botanical Garden’s herbal gardens are the oldest in Belgium, and Heverleebos, a “city wood,” offers a respite for urban dwellers. The exploring is easy in Leuven, on foot or on one of the ubiquitous bikes.

Worth visiting! An alumni from Hotelschool Koksijde, so you know the quality of the food is guaranteed. Worth mentioning, one person on our table was English speaking, the staff did an amazing job by explaining all courses each and every time in English and even had a separate menu in English. It was a perfect service, the waiters and waitress really went the extra mile. If you want to come here, be prepared for lots of funky combinations and prepared to perfection. Shoutout for this wonderful gem in Leuven!

Carrying a Michelin star, one expects high quality dishes and impeccable service. Both are present here but the environment is very sterile and modern, too much so for my liking. Food however and service are great, I just miss the personal touch.

Going for a luncheon with old schoolfriends, and I knew the Faculty Club as a hotel, but didn't expect to discover a gastronomic restaurant overhere....Overall: very professional service, from welcoming,reception, to the waiting team.We had the 'business lunch' and I really felt pampered.With all attentions and/or dishes we got a top professional explanation from the "maitre" in charge of the service, really good!Quality of the food and accompanying wine was of top standards.This Faculty Club has great potentials in matters of meeting rooms, break out rooms, space for cocktails, weddings, briefly any type of event ! Even the parking facilities are well organised and available !Easy access !

Zarza

Fine-food restaurant in Leuven, hospitality & quality stands central, in a non-rigid yet refined framework. During the summer months we welcome you in our city garden, which is nicely surrounded by the rhythm of the city!

Reviewed By Wim B

We had a really nice dinner at Zarza! For students (or anyone under 30) who want to experience fantastic cuisine, they provide a Young Foodies menu. The courses were great, and the wines that went with them were fantastic. We have been here twice now and they do not disappoint!

Onze ideeën zijn eenvoudig: de chef gaat op zoek naar de beste ingrediënten en maakt ze klaar in de puurste vorm. In de keuken maken ze alles klaar zoals ze dit al eeuwen doen: met hout, houtskool, kruiden en veel tijd!

Nice restaurant near the old market place. There aren't many seats which makes the place even more cozy. We stayed on the terrace and enjoyed the good weather. We took the croquettes as starter and choose the meat plate. Combined with a good Belgian beer. Tasty combination! Service was good and prices were ok.

Reviewed By michel l

As starters we had very good entrecôte carpaccio, spanish ham and edamame. For our main course, we chose to go for the 4 steaks selection. Best choice was the Normany and the Rubia Galega. Steaks were correctly cooked and came with good fries and salad. Home made mayonaise could do with less pepper. Nice winelist, affordable choice. Count 75€ p.p. Friendly service, but a bit slow. Came in at 19.00, steaks arrived at 20.45...

Ma,y classic dishes mentioned on the degustation menu, such as Caesar salad, cannelloni, vol au vent, peach Melba, but all given such innovative creative twists they were unrecognisable compared to their uninspired namesakes. The lovely gardens are set up for dining When weather permits, adding to the enjoyment of a wonderful evening. Staff friend,and attentive and managed a full house without seeming rushed

The menu appeared to be creative, but the pizzas were just ok. They actually charge $5 for a bottle of tap water. When I questioned the server he indicated this is normal in Belgium, which I know is not accurate.Dear Taylor, thank you for your review and I will take in consideration your suggestion on tap water. Free tap water is not a habit in Belgium is what mean the server. Kind regards Bernard
