    Nice little new place in Leuven. They focus a lot on daily dishes rather than a wide menu but it ensures that the food is fresh. The owner is part of the crew and takes care of its customers!

    Gainsbourg now has a larger focus on BBQ and smoked meats. These cuts of beef and pork are smoked and tasteful beyond belief! Superb!

    The place is super cozy and the service is proper. Friendly staff and tasty food. The owner of the restaurant also explains the menu for each guest in part. 🤗 Good selection of wines.

    Cosy restaurant with friendly staff. Try their vol-au-vent with fries! They offer all their wines by the glass and have outstanding cocktails, cheers!

    The cocktails are made with liquor&spirits instead of water👍🏼 and are served with class. I recommend getting a few! 🍸

    Make it comfy by sitting near the couches, order some tea and talk the night away. Great spot for dates.

    The pasta, chicken and stoverij were very good and certainly enough. It was a nice experience.

    Ruime keuze aan lekkere wijnen per glas, perfect op temperatuur. Keuken is ook super, zeker de videe was echt top! Lekker warm interieur, met een prachtige open haard.

    Goede vriendelijke service en heel lekker eten. Lange wachttijden zijn het helemaal waard. Pak een Gin&Tonic tijdens het wachten 😉

    Eenvoudige keuken, eerlijke prijzen. Het volume van de muziek geeft aan dat de zaak eerder een cocktail bar is dan een restaurant, waar helemaal niks op tegen is.
