Zuem Ysehuet

As a couple who enjoys dining in Michelin-recommended restaurants during our travels, we were excited to try Zuem Ysehuet, but sadly, it did not live up to expectations. In 2024 alone, we dined at nearly 20 Michelin establishments, ranging from recommended restaurants to 1- and 2-star experiences, so we have a solid benchmark. Unfortunately, this restaurant fell short on nearly every front, especially given the price point of over €180 for a couple. This price is quite high especially if taking into consideration that after reading my review (sent by email to the restaurant prior to this post), the restaurant claimed to be a “neighborhood restaurant”. We opted for the 5-course menu, which we review below in detail: Pre-Starter: consisted of a spinach-based falafel ball, beetroot cream, and artichoke soup. The soup was decent but served lukewarm. The beetroot cream was enjoyable, but the falafel was uninspired and bland. Starter: Foie gras with coco bread and celery salad. The foie gras was good but nothing special. The celery salad, however, was overwhelmingly salty. We brought this up with the waiter, who merely apologized. Fish Course: Scallops with pumpkin. This was the only dish that impressed us and felt worthy of a Michelin recommendation. It was well-balanced and flavorful. Main Course: Pork with asparagus and more. The plates arrived cold, and after we returned them, they were reheated but served in the same uninspiring state. The pork was below ordinary, and the asparagus, like the salad, was excessively salty. Cheese Course: This was fine but nothing memorable. Dessert: Chocolate with passion fruit. This was the most disappointing course. It appeared as though the kitchen was short on portions, as we each received only half a dish compared to what others seemed to be served. The dessert lacked flavor, and my wife had only one bite. The waiter inquired why, but after she explained, he simply apologized again without offering a resolution. Overall decor and appearance: the dishes served in a very nice way. The restaurant is simply decorated. The tables were with some significant cup bottom stains and very simple placemats. One of the plates of the main course even had a crack. Bottom Line: While the scallops and cheese course were passable, the rest of the meal failed to meet even the minimal standards we expect from a Michelin-recommended restaurant. The service, while polite, did nothing to remedy the issues, and the overall experience left us feeling that our money would have been better spent elsewhere. Not recommended.

This diamond in the rough offers a lovely menu with an excellent wine pairing. The staff is incredibly friendly and forthcoming. There is one thing though, bring mosquito spray. As the tables (in summer) are outside, there are some mosquitos during sunset. My advice is to try the spider crab as a starter and getting the wine pairing with the three course menu.

Decent dinner at Zuem Ysehuet. Was not a huge fan of the petit pois. The black Angus was very good, and so was the dessert with the exception of the listerine flavoured perlage on the side, which wasn't for me. Nice wine pairing too. Would have been nice to sit outside, but the weather didn't allow for it... maybe next time

By far the best meal I've had.I had a hard time to admit, but I can't deny their steak was the best I've ever had 10/10. Service was great and very welcoming.

I had a very disappointing experience .Upon arrival, I was guided to my table by a lady who I believe may have been the owner. I politely asked if I could sit by the window, as it was my first time and I was unfamiliar with the layout. Her response was rude and dismissive, saying I could sit there “if I wanted to do dishes” because it was a service table. The poor service continued when I asked for water while waiting for my friend—it took multiple requests to finally receive it. When it came time to order, we were pressured to order dessert along with our meal, which felt intrusive and unnecessary. The most disturbing part of the experience came when I was finishing my crémant while waiting for our red wine to be served. In the middle of enjoying my drink, the same woman came and removed my half-full glass without asking, which was both inappropriate and frustrating. Though she apologized , her overall attitude was unacceptable for a restaurant that claims to be of high quality. To top it off, while we were still having dessert around 13:50, we could hear loud noises coming from the kitchen, which ruined the ambiance. The food itself was just decent—not bad, but certainly nothing exceptional. Overall, this experience was far below my expectations. Between the unprofessional service and average food, it felt more like a visit to a low-end street joint than a restaurant of this supposed caliber. I won’t be returning, and I can’t recommend it to others.

Amuse bouche and tartare de canard were not tasty at all. Black Angus was good and tender, but too much garnish. The veau was good in it's preparation but was overpowered by the corn flavor. We also had the wine pairing and I don't recommend it because the sommelier didn't show us the bottle from which he poured the wine: the quality of the wines was also below average, especially the Merlot and the last sweet wine. It would have been better if I ordered a single bottle from the good wine list.

A great dining experience. Friendly service and in a stylish atmosphere. I did not like the wine pairing that they offer as part of their menu. The food itself was of a superb quality, nicely cooked and presented. I can fully recommend this place and would next time order a bottle of wine from their well equipped vault.

So much attitude to make a simple reservation. Apparently, one can’t seem to lose a message on your inbox during a work weekday without receiving multiple exclamation points and attitude
