Great views of table mountain , nearly always a seat outside available & only had to swat 1 seagull away! Gorgeous cheese platter & tuna tataki , so great for an evening drinking snack !

Gareth Langham

If you are ever in or around the V&A Waterfront I would strongly recommend trying this place. The food is quietly simply amazing and the service is there to match.

Great belgian steak au poivre , even better than in Belgium , but maybe thats because of the awesome location. Creme brulee great too. The chocolate used for the dame blanche wasnt belgian. Not so good

Chris Kindermans

Super Belgian style restaurant . Even in Belgium , the croquettes aux corvettes are not so good. I need the recipe. And the mousse au chocolat . In one word: heavenly.

Lindsey Warren

A great place to enjoy a strong Belgian beer while watching the sunset reflect on table mountain . Nice outdoor option if it's warm.

Yajna Gold

Beautiful salmon on mash & mussel pot special (no sauce bit bland) no lemon sauce and someone found a hair in their food but still delicious chocolate tart for dessert !

Ameen Aqeel

Changed most of the Belgian menu items that it used to be served and its more French now. No more schnitzels and apple strudel ! But they still kept their big portions and variety of beer .

Damla Hase.

get a bottle of wine and sit on a table with table mountain view . don't eat burrata - not as good as the ones in Italy.

Fathima Dada

Good location for a quick snack when shopping. Otherwise no delight, had oysters and they were ok, but open in a messy way. I can have them like that at home, but in a restaurant ?
