lovely ambiance and very friendly staff. they specialise in traditional belgian food but overall, the dishes were a hit or miss.
the standouts were the carbonnade a la flamande, moules and waffle. the beef was tender and the sauce it was cooked in was deliciously sweet. the garlic cream sauce the mussels were cooked in was also addictive and we even ordered extra bread just to soak it all up. the waffle was freshly made and came with ice cream, whipped cream and hot chocolate sauce -definitely one of the best waffles i had in belgium! the fish soup had a very fragrant and fresh fish flavour, but i think adding some actual fish meat would've made it even better.
unfortunately, the fries were a big let down as they did not taste fresh at all - i assume they were recooked/reheated bc they were overcooked and very dry. we were also disappointed by the prawns and snails bc they were not only a small portion but also small in themselves despite being amongst the most expensive dishes. the taste, however, was good. the vol-au-vent was also not great, as it was bland and there was barely any pastry.
overall, i recommend trying this spot but only for certain dishes. luckily we booked via. the fork so it was 50% off. if not for this offer, i wouldn't have been happy paying full price.

Pinwei Chinese Restaurant
the char siu in the three roast meats rice was pretty good but the duck was mainly bone and the roast pork was too fatty. the noodle dishes (seafood hor fun + veg crispy chow mein) had loads of toppings but were quite bland and lacked wok hei. the dim sum was also a bit hit or miss - the standouts were the stuffed beancurd rolls (v flavourful and well filled), purple sweet potato har gau (so pretty!) and the steamed brown sugar cake (perfect sweetness and super fluffy). i would pass on the xlb (skin was too thick and v little soup) and fried meat parcel (basically empty) though…
overall, it is 100% great value for money not only bc of the lunch time deal but their portions as a whole are very generous. however, i felt a lot of the dishes were just standard and lacked a wow factor. i would come back tho bc i feel like there are only a few improvements needed!
