4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

It is a good restaurant and might be on its way to perfection. The setting is nice in the back of a house of a non-insipiring flemish street. It has a terrace which unfortunately we could not use due to even more un-inspiring weather. Inside the linen-clothed tables with swedish style chairs are seated widely apart, so you feel private...

WHAT AN EVENING!!! The restaurant is exceptional, full choices of indoor or outdoor dining, a warm professional welcome, clear views into the kitchen... More

This is a marvelous restaurant. It has one Michelin star which means it's still affordable, but the quality of food and wine beats almost everything I've had in Belgium (including a series of two star and one three star restauirant). There is no doubt in my mind that for a high level culinary experience, there is no better value-for-money in... More

This is defenitly a restaurant Leuven can be proud off. This was my 5th visit here. I was there with friends, for a romantic tête à tête, and for a party. All my experiences were identical. Warm and friendly people. Excllent food and wine. Congrats tot the whole team.

Every dish was very special, most of them a discovery of tastes. They were all beautifully set up, and the service was great and fast. Lots of side dishes, amuse-bouches and mignardises, all delicious!

Went to CC once more in July, it was a while ago. Whole evening tastings of top level. We took the evening menu with all courses, including their marvellous cheese platter (choice to be taken from it). Nice wines to accompany the menu (though not out of the ordinary, however all good wines, no cheap rubbish which you may get... More

We've eaten at the Couvert Couvert more than a dozen times. But the last of those dated from 15 months ago. Because we then left with mixed feelings, we weren't too eager to try it again. But due to a lot of holiday closures amongst our collection of favorites, we decided to give it one more try. First thing that... More

It might seem presumtuous to rate asMichelin starred restaurant but this was such an occaision it's worth some comment. The service was exquisite and the food excellent, only the strangely bland guines fowl let it down. Add a remarkable German red and we had a very fine evening. The cheese board was extraordinary.

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
