Zappaz
From the artwork by Peter Wellens and Charlotte De Baere that adorns the bar area to the spacious Scandinavian inspired dining room, Zappaz is a treat for the eye. In the kitchen, chef Seppe demonstrates that contemporary fine dining can be both polished and playful. Creative touches and international flavours like dashi and ponzu are perfectly at home in his inventive score. The menu of three to five courses shines the spotlight on creative recipes, like venison, served medium rare, with prunes and red beetroot, an emulsion of curly kale, churros and a punchy gravy.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.5/5 · 80 reviews
Located in Leuven, Zappaz offers modern haute cuisine via a fixed tasting menu. Food quality is highly praised for its refinement, balanced flavors, and exquisite presentation, with standout dishes like langoustines and scallops. Wine pairings are generally harmonious, though non-alcoholic options receive mixed notes. Service is typically professional and attentive, but some guests report slow pacing and occasional unfriendliness. The ambiance suffers significantly from poor acoustics and a cramped layout, making conversation difficult due to noise levels. Despite minor complaints about meal timing, the overall experience is considered exceptional, offering a dining standard comparable to three-Michelin-star establishments with good value for money.
Ideal for diners seeking high-quality modern cuisine who can tolerate noisy acoustics.
