Savoury - Turnhout

To be honest, I can't understand how this resto gets a 14/20 from Gault Millau. Very boring wardrobe from the restaurant, the chairs that went through. Now it was a deer or a piece of tribe on the windows. The dried flowers/plumes in the middle of our table. MMMM 1980s is back. Fortunately, there are only three restaurants in Turnhout, but this is the second time I'm starving. We'll get two of us in CST and get these scanned. We can choose a table, but people forget to ask our coats. This will be arranged ten minutes later. Well, a 14 is also a point to serve. The service was far away. Very unfriendly people in the room to serve. The Sommelier did his best, but the lady from the house was boring. As Apero, we chose the housechampagne, a good and dry bladder, nothing special, a little bit brutal, the rest of the choices couldn't pay me, two gyps said the cocktails were on. Damn it was hoping I could find another Gin. As you know, best readers, we take the choice of the wines. I asked my beloved wine card. Good people for the wine shouldn't be here, very limited wine choice, much too classic, not operatives, not too many years. Just a dead wine card. No, then I lived better the day before in Lives, at Couvert Couvert Couvert Couvert Couvert. And also here, the service really dropped, how could you put a card in someone's hands? I learned that today. Of course you're going to a restaurant to eat. The food was fine and there's nothing behind it. The presentation of the Saint-Jacobsnoot in the shell, I think you understand what I'm writing. If she was still in the shell, I would have sent them to the kitchen. The notes in the shell, chief, after everything I've read about you. The sea with the handmade shrimp was nice, not to notice. Simple but very good. The dorade with fresh pasta and winter hug. When do you make Evert happy? With winter truffle or geese delivery. Frankly, justice was good, but be a little more rian with your truffle. Or come cut these yourself on the board and then you contact your client, and if there's anything that likes to eat truffle, give it some extra. After this, we pulled the Chicken with geese liver, yes, still happy. My wife who doesn't eat geese delivery, I'm very grateful, her piece came to me. Chief yes, this was good. This is what you score with me. The end was close, dessert, Baba Au Rhum, cut pears and vanilla ice. Nothing to see. I'm disappointed. You really need to replace the seats. The service was anything but a motivated team that's excited for his clients is the least I expect. Don't be so cold and boring, give me enthusiasm and heat. Do something about your limited wine card, there was nothing that could afford me. The nuts in the shell, it's 2022 not 2007. Next time give me more guts in your card, more your passion!

Impossible service in a beautiful frame. Nice and tasteful dishes. Pretty pricey, but you also get quality. One of the better in the region.

Food and service excellent, red wine probably came from the cellar and too cold. Sommelier can offer this or alternative.

We first visited this restaurant on January 29, 2012. Delicious atmosphere in the case, cozy institution. Control was top! Dinner's a little more expensive, but there are interesting menu choices. The food itself was full of taste. Two little mints, the part of the main dish, I found something too picky in relationship with the dishes. The bread was a little dry, but those are really mosquitoes. We're definitely coming back.

To be honest, I can't understand how this restaurant gets a 14/20 from Gault Millau. The decoration is very dull, with worn-out armchairs and questionable decor. The dried flowers/plumes in the middle of our table screamed 1980s. Thankfully, there are only 3 restaurants listed in Turnhout, but this is the second time I've been disappointed. We enter with our CST in hand and have it scanned. We choose a table but our coats are forgotten. This is rectified 10 minutes later. A 14 for service is also a stretch. The service was lacking, with unfriendly staff in the dining room. The sommelier tried his best, but the lady of the house was downright rude. The house champagne we chose as an aperitif was unremarkable, and the wine list was disappointingly limited and lacking variety. The food was okay, nothing extraordinary. The sea bass with hand-peeled shrimp was tasty, and the pulled chicken with foie gras was a hit. However, the presentation of the scallops in the shell left much to be desired. Overall, I was underwhelmed by the experience. The staff needs to be more attentive and welcoming, and the menu should offer more options and showcase the chef's passion. It's time to update the decor and breathe new life into the restaurant.
