The restaurant breaths class and connaissance and while the environment obviously is stunning being located inside La Butte aux Bois, some of the dishes were a bit too heavy (eg fois gras taco, dessert) or out of season (eg deer in summer). Also the service felt almost over-orchestrated causing some ceremonial feeling while looking for a romantic dinner. For sure some high-flighers too and also the sommelier is a great, energetic and knowledgeable guy we had a good time with.

Nous sommes venus ma femme et moi même manger à La Source le soir du 29/08. L'atmosphère du restaurant nous a enchantés:la vue sur le jardin, la decoration épurée aux courbes naturelles. L'éclairage est reposant et met en valeur les plats.

Le service est parfait et l'équipe très attentionnée et de bons conseils.

Les cuissons étaient parfaites, le mariage des goûts original et audacieux tout en restant gourmand.

Nous avons délicieusement mangé et garderons en mémoire ce moment.

Merci pour la délicate attention: ma femme n'aimant pas les huîtres, le plat de son menu a été remplacé à notre demande.

Nous avons trouvé le niveau global au dessus d'autres restaurants 2 étoiles que nous avons fait. Merci pour cette soirée !

En plus de deux plats 'signature', nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir déguster du bœuf Wagyu de Kagoshima préparé par le chef Berendsen. Celui-ci sait sublimer les produits. Les langoustines et le foie gras en deux préparations étaient 'à tomber'. Le service était impeccable à un seul petit bémol près (une habitude qui tend à disparaître ?) : il y avait les prix sur la carte donnée à ma compagne. Une expérience fantastique ! ||| 16/09/2020: toujours aussi bon : carte des vins à revoir (2e fois qu’une bouteille figurant à la carte n’est plus en cave).

Sadly I cannot give more than 5 stars! This place was even better than we anticipated. All dishes, all drinks, everything was in perfect balance. We enjoyed this dinner from the first bite in the special olive, until the last bite of the desserts... Service was as to be expected in a 2-star Michelin restaurant, it was even better than expected. Very discrete, very correct, like a perfect ballet performance.
Thank you to the entire team for giving us a wonderful experience, and especially the Maître d', for allowing us to take our coffee in the salon, it was much appreciated!

Repas 6 services pris avec des amis. Trois plats de poissons ( thon,cabillaud, St Jacques) chevreuil et 2 desserts. Grand choix de vins à tous les prix. Cadre lumineux. Tarif d'un 2 **. Eau de source en sus c'est un peu pingre.... Personnel pléthorique. Le français n'est pas une priorité dans l'établissement mais nous sommes en Flandre c'est vrai.

We were there for my bday after spending the day at the spa. The whole place is lovely. The day was great. Dinner was quite amazing, food was good, however the sommelier just ruined the eve for me. I wanted to ask for my husband to taste a dessert wine (already opened) to which I was told that is very expensive and he cannot let people taste it. I find this extremely tacky as I believe if I’m in 2* restaurant I know what expensive is, 2ndly it was my bday and it wasn’t even a happy bday moment for me, just a wish of, the moment we came in and we were waiting to be seated.

Having high hope for this meal as it is a 2-Michelin star restaurant, situated in the hotel we are staying and we wanted to celebrate my BD here. Well, food was great, almost to the point that we can call “perfect”, but services was very disappointing! Dinner started at 7.30 pm and didn’t end until after 11 pm, and that was because we asked for the bill. That was after 2 waiters came asking if we wanted coffe or tea or not, and we said no. Instead of bring out petite four trolly out like they did with other tables, no one came. After our patience ran out, we asked for the bill. Waits between each course was way too long (and it was only a 5-course dinner). There were missed serves, not refilling the wine, not offering petit four, and we had mentioned that it was a BD celebration, but nobody acted like they knew anything about it. Worst of all, they made us feel like we were discriminated as services were selectively “normal” for other tables but not for us! Too bad, food was really good! And this was the evening of May 28th, 2019.
