Languages.. If you live over here you are supposed to know about 3 languages. We have 3 official ones. Flemish- German and my favorite one French. (Note the sarcasm)
I never liked French. I do understand the basics and I am comfortable to go to a French speaking country. I even know how to speak it. But the French language just isn’t my thing. Probably also because I lived in an English speaking country for quite a while.
Because of the barrier there is an entire part of my own country I don’t know. So an entire set of good restaurants I probably will never go to. Last weekend a friend and I had a bold plan: going out for dinner in Juprelle.. Lucky form me, my friends French is impeccable. She sounds like a native!
So off to Juprelle to ô de vie. Our entrance was a bit bumpy. They couldn’t find our reservation… The restaurant was fully booked so there was a little bit of stress. In the end it just seemed a matter of bad handwriting. (Online reservations are non existing)
I didn’t know what to expect. We heard good and bad reviews. So it was a wait and see situation.
Well they won me over. They used their best Flemish and food was really good!!! Didn’t like the wine pairing much, everything was a little bit too sweet. But that is just a matter of taste. I definitely will go back!!
