A very good meal and a really good place to eat
This was a great evening with Ine. She walked with us around her neighborhood to market, bakery and butcher. We returned to her home and helped prepare a wonderful meal with appetizers, delicious asparagus and a chicken leak soup that really hit the spot. Wine was included. It was great to share a meal with such a gracious host. We left feeling like we mad a new friend.
Fix your stupid records. The tour was cancelled weeks ago and not by us but by the tour guide. Why I kept getting emails was very irritating
Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to continue receiving emails after your experience was declined by our host, who is currently unavailable due to a medical procedure and unable to host until June. Unfortunately, we’re unable to locate a record connected to your booking. To help us resolve this issue as quickly as possible, please email us directly at reservations@travelingspoon.com with any additional details you may have. We sincerely apologize again for the confusion and appreciate your patience as we work to make things right. Warm regards, Aashi Warm regards, Aashi
Very well-kept room, with adequate distance between tables. Attentive and helpful service. Well appetizers and first courses. Not exactly to my taste sweets (which in fact I avoided).
This workshop combines both culinary discovery and incredible human sharing. Our host Ine is a welcoming and energetic woman. We felt like we were staying with a friend over a delicious meal and good wine.
Menus from the South West reasonably priced and welcoming staff menus €20 on Saturdays €17 during the week tasty and hearty cuisine
We absolutely loved our experience with Ine. We had a truly memorable evening. Ine took us around the area, showing us several stores and shops. Then we went to her apartment where we enjoyed a wonderful evening filled with conversation, laughter, wine, champagne, and of course, food. Ine was a gracious host, and we stayed much longer than we had intended. It was truly like spending an evening with a long-time friend.
Ine, our host was very kind and easy to talk to. All the market, bakery, and pastries shop was exetremely with excelent quality. Her kitchen was spotless clean and good size for 4 of us (including Ine) work together. One of us is a vegan, but Ine flexibly arranged the whole menu perfect. All of us could learn the tips of cooking at first hand whth Ine's explanation. We had very fruitful conversation through having lunch together. All in all, it was valuable experience for all of us(me and my friends). If We had another opportunity? Yes! We would love to join. We appreciate Ine for her very effort and thoughtfulness.
I booked a cooking lesson with Ine during a trip to Brussels back on October 8, 2017. I feel really bad that I am writing my review only now, because she hosted such a great class. She is a funny and energetic person with really great recipes to share. The class is at her flat with room for probably at most 4 to eat and cook. 2 people in the kitchen is probably most preferred. Her kitchen was more than adequate to host the class. We prepared several courses, but I was limited to seafood and vegetables because of my diet. Ine was very accommodating and I really enjoyed the trip to the market she prepared. Her neighborhood seems trendy with several great markets in very close proximity. If you are a lone traveler like me, or you travel with a friend/partner then I highly recommend Ine's class. I had so much fun with her and it was a great way to close out my adventure to Brussels.
