7.8
Our score
Blijf means happy. We were, twice over — we liked the first round enough to order a second.

We had dinner at Blijf — it means happy — and boy, we were.

Nice cocktails to open, with a trio of croquettes and a local beef carpaccio with parmesan and truffle cream.

Then the tapas: meatballs in a peanut sauce, Indonesian in style; beef cubes; prawns in a mayo aioli; pork belly.

And then we liked it enough to order a whole second round. Twice the prawns, spare ribs in the house sauce, and the duck.

All of it accompanied by a few rounds of Grimbergen Tripel.

Super lekker.

We pay for our own meals and we are not paid to write these. If a place is on this list it is because we would take you there ourselves. See the options.
