Long wait and service is not great. There's no welcome greeting, no apology for knocking a drink, basically staff is not trained with a customer mindset.

Cute place with pleasant service. Food is good but probably a tad overpriced. Only tried the shakshuka, which could benefit from some more spices imo. Nonetheless, 5 stars, because they give tap water when asked, which is uncommon in Belgium.
