“Had a great three course dinner with excellent and personal service. Nice little restaurant in the hotel. Small but well balanced menu of two options per course. Ordered all of them and they were all great. Accompanied by some complementary snacks that were nice.”

“What a nice surprise! The Living Bar & Restaurant serves the Pillow Hotel near Brussels' Central train station. The environment is really nice, modern but cozy at the same time. Cocktails were perfect and food menu was simple but yet interesting and very well executed. We had a lovely dinner and we will definitely be back next season. Congrats.”
