What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Belgischer Hof for its cozy, rustic-chic atmosphere and friendly, attentive service, often highlighting the delicious flammkuchen. While many enjoy the creatively presented French-inspired dishes, some find the main courses slightly less convincing or the sauce overpowering. The fair price-to-quality ratio and pleasant vibe make it a highly recommended spot, especially for a romantic evening.
"The restaurant has a good reputation, and I had certain expectations, and they all were met! The food was delicious, and the staff was super nice. Definitely we will be coming back"
Liliya Kazarova
"First of all, the atmosphere was very comfortable and the service was excellent. The appetizer was delicious, and the main course (lamb) was generous in portion. It would have been even better if there were a bit less sauce, as it slightly overpowered the flavors of the side dishes and the lamb itself. Overall, we had a wonderful evening at our table."
Samantha Chen
"Outstanding dining experience! From the flavorful salad dressing to the well-curated wine selection, we were impressed with every bite and sip. For us the ratio of portion, quality, and price is fair. The vibe is classy yet relaxed, and the friendly, professional staff truly elevate the experience. Highly recommended."
