Restaurant Palermo

A cosy restaurant with fluent, pleasant service. Perfect for a romantic diner, the end of a daytrip, a family-diner, birthdayparty or a cosy night out.

Lucie & Jimmy

Reviewed By Mary F

We were looking forward to visiting the restaurant and we were strongly disappointed. By recommendation of the waiter, we decided to try Lucie’s All-in Menu which includes 4 dishes along with wine and coffee. Our impressions were mild as they have a big margin for improvement. The ingredients they use are not of high quality and the dishes arrived cold to the table. What was most upsetting was the service. The lack of leadership was obvious and the service was impolite and rude. We would not recommend this restaurant.

Vendome

Reviewed By MikeV84

We had a wonderful time in Vendome, that is already 29 years in business. We opted for the 5 courses fall menu, with several game dishes that were all delicious. The hostess is very friendly - something rather rare these days in Flanders - and even made sure we got our food in time to catch the last train, which we appreciated a lot! What delighted us the most though, is the excellent price-quality ratio (also of the wine the hostess suggested us). One small point of critique: the main dish could've been a bit more plentiful. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this restaurant in the heart of cosy Tongeren. Don't forget to make a reservation, certainly on weekend nights.

I had lunch in this place about once a week in the last period, and I literally love it. The location is extremely nice if there is good whether it is possibile to sit on the pond/little lake. It is surrounded by green and it is very peaceful. The interior is also very nicely decorated and the service is fast and polite. The food is really good and there is a pretty vast choice of both normal and veggie burgers. The bagels also fantastic.Highly recommended.

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.

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.
