iTaste is the best way to find restaurants in Herentals

An amazing restaurant in a great setting. This restaurant has been rated as best top restaurant summer terrace by Gault Millau in Belgium. And indeed we can confirm the atmosphere is just great. We had the chance to visit this restaurant during the Diningcity "restaurantweek" at a reduced menu price. The tasting menu was just great! Very nice starter, Carpaccio of Langoestines. All dishes were of top quality. Service very professional. For sure a place to come back and to watch in the future....

Be_Gusto Event was absolutely great. Our visit during the restaurantweek in December with the special menu and great atmosphere. We started with a tartare of langoestines and flan of lobster. The cabillaud with girolles and smoked foie gras was absolutely delicious. As a main course the pheasant with chestnut, jerusalem artichokes and celeriac. All this followed by a delicious chocolate parfait with nougat ice cream. Also the wine arrangement was very good...

Nice decoration, ideal for a romantic dinner for 2. Very nice cuisine made by Johan, can be surprising. Julie leads the restaurant service very well, good wine advise....

Very young chef with big potential. Located in the countryside about 20 minutes east from Antwerp. the interior was nice but for me too classic and not reflecting the young owners. We took the fix lenu and the starter was excellent with lobster, eel and celeriac. A bit truffeloil but not too much. The currysoup with broccoli was absolutely too spicy and killed all wine flavours. A bit too much in a gastronomic menu is my opinion as the taste stayed for hours. As a main course the veal was excellent again with correct cuisson. Also the citrus dessert was taste wise good. It only took far too long and we could only leave at 11.30PM. e had an excellent white portugese wine, donna Maria, amantis...

We prefer to choose one good bottle of wine instead of the wine selection that goes with the menu....

Timing, very young team in service. I missed an experience maitre....

The restaurant got very good feed back from various friends so it was about the time to finally visit them. We were a little unlucky that more than halve of the restaurant was used for a family dinner. Service wise off course this was noticed. We were nicely welcomed and the cold starter was excellent, agnus beef carpaccio with langoestines tartare, sorbet of mustard and quail egg. The sole with hot lettuce and champagne sabayon was also surprising and very tasty. Main course of beef tournedos, with potato gratin was a little to basic. Instead of dessert we were lucky having chosen the cheese chariot! Superb....

Service was slow, little lack of professionalism. We could only leave after midnight due to a slow service. Being informed this is not typical for them....

Be-Gusto Event February. Finally the day was there to experience this young chef's delights. He has been honoured by Gault Millau as young chef of the year and I admit he deserves a good quote. The restaurant is very small, around 24 covers only. The kitchen looked also very small which makes his food achievements even more honouring. He works with a fix menu to choose the 4, 5 or 6 course. The sommelier/maitre, young talent, not too much show but excellent in his way. explanations were great and the sugested wines by the glass every course were such an experience. Only for this we will be back. Also 6€ per glass is reasonably priced. We started after fine amuses with a combination of smoked eel, chicory, wheat and white beer. The combination with an Hungarian Riesling wine was excellent. Followed by skrei with romanesco cauliflower, coquilles, ostend prawn. nice dish but maybe sme more coquilles st jaques. As a main course the slow cooked young pig was excellent of taste and nicely combined with sorrel and sauerkraut. I am not a pinot noir lover but this one, Bautsta 2009, was very good. A dessert of cocos and the homemade chocolates with the coffee. Congratulations for this young team and thanks for making our Be-Gusto event again a success....

Very professional service, all quite young personnel that fits very well with the atmosphere they want to create in the restaurant. Interior is modern style with warm colours and ancient details of the former labour house in the beautiful city center of Leuven. High level of sophisticated cuisine, lots and lots of energy is put in the way of dressing the plate as well as producing a variety of flavours. The 'not every day' wines served were not only very good, they lifted all the dishes to an even higher level....

Due to the efforts put in the way of creating nice dishes, the chef should not forget to get decent portions on the plate as well. Not that you get out with a hungry feeling, but the size of portions could be a bit larger. The restaurant is very small, though 2 tables were left empty and walk-by guests were refused. It is hard to believe that 4 more persons would really make that big difference in stress and quality fot both kitchen and service. On the contrary a young recent restaurant should not forget about it's economical and financial goals ... it was a bit odd....

Tastes: very good....

Portions: to small....
