Le Phoenix sur Roncq

We arrived at 1:45 PM. We had time to get settled, order drinks, and help ourselves to the cold appetizers. Then we moved on to the hot dishes, and to our surprise, there was no one left to cook the meat, fish, and vegetables in the wok or on the griddle. The reason given was that they stopped cooking at 2:30 PM (there was no indication of when this would happen, despite the plates still being well-stocked with raw meat and fish). We had to make do with what little remained of the cooked dishes, which were practically empty. The cheese was piled high on a plate without cutlery. We managed to get some dessert in time, but the ice cream was soft (was it a cold chain issue?). Then, as we were finishing our meal, someone came and took away our glasses and plates right in front of us—not very customer-friendly! And all this with rather unpleasant staff, which is a real shame... Disappointing...

The food is good, the price affordable, only one negative experience one evening when the buffet was sparsely stocked. Many people were waiting for their food!

Way too noisy, children are running in all directions and shouting instead of speaking...

Don't hesitate, it's really good, and it's a calm and clean place! And what's more, right now with the World Cup, you can watch the matches on TV! ⚽️⚽️

Still as good as ever! We've loved it for years 😊

The place is a bit small. You're crowded, elbow-to-elbow, trying to get food. But overall, it's good!

My home turf...never been sick...nor have my guests...something for everyone...it's not a stomach bug and therefore...no need to review the desserts or pastries, but personally I don't eat them anyway...

I went to eat at this restaurant: The striking thing to consider is that, for the buffet (noodles, meat, fish, vegetables, etc.), they don't separate anything during cooking and they don't change the cooking water. So, I'm thinking of vegans and Muslims, because since the water isn't changed, the blood from the meat remains in the broth. This constitutes systematic contamination of your otherwise meat-free dishes.

All-you-can-eat buffet, the food is good, and so are the cocktails. I'll go back as soon as I can.

It's always a pleasure to come back when I'm passing through Halluin once a month.
