We know Veerle & Laurent from the time they ran their famous brasserie in Tongeren and have followed them all the way to Heverlee (Leuven) . Couvert Couvert is one of our favourite addresses in Belgium and we highly recommend the restaurant to all the people that appreciate fresh & fair food, good wine (you have to taste the pear... More

We decided last minute to conclude our business deal with a good lunch. Couvert Couvert was so nice as to accommodate us last minute. The lunch was excellent, not too heavy and the sommelier was a fun guy who was open minded for a little adventure. If and when you're in the area, don't hesitate! More

Very beautiful restaurant with an original currant style. Well balanced menu with respect for the season. Original wines from uncommercial winemakers in a 'natural'-style. Superb winelist!!! More

We were very disappointed with this restaurant. It was my second visit and like the first time I didn't feel I was in a Michelin star restaurant. Apart from the decor (which I personally think is too cold and uninviting) the acoustic in the restaurant on a weekend night is just terrible. It's impossible to have a decent conversation. The...

We eat at this restaurant now and then, and it never disappoints us. Although it is not the cheapest around Louvain, it is certainly the best. Very good quality food, presented in the best way possible, nice wines to accompany the real pictures of plates. We prefer an excellent meal only now and then, instead of a quick snack of... More

This restaurant has an excellent lunch for a reasonable price. There are two choices for the starters, main dish and dessert. All the dishes were nicely presented in a modern way with good quality products.The waiters were professional and multilingual. The interior of the restaurant is a bit minimalistic. A minor thing is that I would like the sommelier to... More

The reception was friendly, but I was very disapointed about the interior of the restaurant, simple tables an chairs, no special decorations .. kinda chilly. They had a nice menu and wine list, no problem there .. But we notice that one... More

Great expectations, but... We had the full season-menu Nice dishes, good dessert, the wine was good but not exceptional. But : the service we had from one of the waiters (a young woman) was very, very bad! This ruined the whole atmosphere at the table. We had the feeling we were served as four dogs at a reastuaranttable. The dishes... More
