Em’s star rating

We enjoyed the hamachi, Holstein short rib tacos, seafood tacos, herb guacamole, and a St. Germain Spritz. My personal favourite was the seafood taco. Truly one of the tastiest tacos I’ve ever had!

Fun fact

They have Belgium’s largest Mezcal collection. Their drinks’ selection showcases artisanal Mezcal, emphasising small batch productions that support the Agave ecosystem and honour authentic production methods. They highlight underdog distillates from the world of agave spirits and offer tastings and expert pairings with their innovative dishes, celebrating the rich heritage and sustainability of Mezcal making.
