08/03/2026: We recently dined at Le Tandem restaurant, and our experience was unfortunately mixed. The initial welcome seemed rather cold. After ordering drinks for the children, we noticed that the juice cartons were dated 11/2025. When I pointed this out to the waitress, her response was, "It's not a problem, it's an 'use by' date." While it might technically be edible, in a professional setting—and especially for children—this type of response is not very reassuring. On the other hand, the chef came around to each table with a big smile and was very pleasant, which is worth mentioning. Regarding the food: • The children's menus were the same price, but with different portion sizes: • two slices of ham for the 10-year-old • only one for the 5-year-old • the same for the ice cream scoop, smaller for the younger child. Even if the intention is perhaps to adjust the portion sizes, when the price is the same, it seems inconsistent. • The Flemish carbonnade was quite fatty. • The horse steak was very good, but the side dish (mashed potatoes that seemed frozen) was disappointing. On the plus side: the desserts were very good, especially the crème brûlée and the nougat glacé. In summary: the food was decent, but several details in the service and the consistency of the dishes disappointed us.
