€€Modern Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine
Don't let the name fool you; this is an upscale restaurant with a stylish interior that features vintage decor and natural materials. Working in an open kitchen, Dejan Gavric is clearly keeping up with the times. He is a chef who likes to incorporate Mediterranean influences and techniques. This is evident in the dish comprising pan-fried sea bass fillet with mussels and sea lavender and featuring a variety of garnishes. The wine list, while not too extensive, is international, well curated and great value for money.
€€€Creative, Modern Cuisine
DOYY offers an intimate and relaxed atmosphere with a touch of Middle Eastern elegance, reflecting the Azerbaijani-Turkish heritage of owner Yavuz. Chef Daan van Lieshout knows his French classics, as evidenced in the à la carte selection, which includes dishes such as steak tartare and tournedos Rossini. However, he also likes to incorporate Asian and Middle Eastern influences into his cooking – it is his set menu that really showcases his creativity. Think salty-sweet langoustine tartare with citrus chiboust, confit tomatoes, crispy chicken skin and a frothy bisque jus. Brace yourself for bo

The Goyvaerts brothers welcome diners to the imposing Domusdela, a converted monastery church in the heart of Eindhoven. Steeped in history, this splendid setting is replete with Scandinavian accents; high ceilings and architecturally striking walls lend the space a sense of grandeur. The wine cabinet is an eye-catching feature. Characterised by bold flavours and refined details, the dishes pack a punch, and their presentation is always carefully considered and precise.

€€€Chinese, Cantonese
Mei Wah has been a beacon of authentic Chinese cuisine since 1965. Unadulterated piquancy and finesse, unyielding to Western palates, and imbued with a touch of refinement by the chef, who represents the third generation at the helm. He makes just about everything in-house, from the spicy chicken broths to the fiery chilli oils, guaranteeing bold flavours. Whenever feasible, he procures ingredients from the vicinity. Immerse yourself in the culinary heritage of far-off lands – think steamed dim sum filled with prawn, ginger and that addictively delectable chilli oil, succulent spicy prawn in a

Mei Wah offers authentic Cantonese cuisine with fresh ingredients and a notable wine list, often featuring personal chef interactions. Positive reviews highlight friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and creative dishes like asparagus with crab. However, opinions are divided. Negative feedback cites declining food quality, including dry meat, stale rice, and basic preparations. Some guests found portion sizes insufficient, particularly for men, and noted a lack of dessert options. While the ambiance remains pleasant, recent complaints focus on poor value and inconsistent flavors compared to past experiences. Travelers should be aware that while the wine selection and service are praised, the culinary execution varies significantly between visits.
Suitable for diners valuing wine pairings and warm, family-style service, though those prioritizing consistent portion sizes and flavor stability should proceed with caution.
€€€Farm to table, Modern Cuisine
Karin Smits is the heart and soul of De Luytervelde. She has been welcoming guests at this converted farmhouse (1912) just outside the city centre since 1992. Diners are smitten with the stylish decor and delightful garden terrace, but the main focus remains, of course, the modern interpretation of classic flavours and the well-curated wine list. The chef will expertly fry a veal sweetbread until golden brown and knock up a robust sauce Périgueux, but he is just as adept at giving venison an exotic twist with five-spice powder. A perennial favourite!

€€€Modern Cuisine, Indonesian
United by a shared passion, Stuart and Luca, who met at hotel school, have turned their dream into reality with this sleek, intimate and rather minimalist restaurant. The bonsai tree in the middle of the dining space is a nod to the Far Eastern-inspired cuisine they serve. In the evening, they propose two set menus: "Taste of Reverie" and "Indonesian Menu". Drawing on classic French foundations, they add the sweetness and piquancy of Asian seasonings. The perfectly pan-seared duck fillet is accompanied, for instance, by an intense duck jus infused with the heat and slight sweetness of finely c

The charm of Bouchot brings out the warmth of this stylish building dating back to 1934. Smiling sommelier and hostess Tessa provides excellent wine recommendations; meanwhile, in the kitchen, Bram expresses his love for Zeeland and classic French cuisine. On retro tableware, he serves up œufs meurette – soft-poached eggs in a sweet and intense red wine sauce with bacon and mushrooms – and crispy veal sweetbreads with hazelnuts and a sauce enriched with balsamic vinegar and spices. Quality ingredients speak for themselves in all their simplicity, thanks to the expertly made sauces. A new favou
