Beulings is a top restaurant in disguise. You won't find it if you don't know about it. And if you get lost in this street by chance, you wouldn't guess that this inconspicuous place literally is a hidden gem. After you took place, the waitress tells you what's on the daily changing menu. It's possible to order single courses but it's recommended to go for the 3 up to 7 course menu. With all the amuses the 4 course is enough, unless you're very very hungry. The staff is relaxed and they have no problem handling complicated course combinations (two of us ordered the 4 course with different dishes and two of them to share, one went for the 6 course). Most of the dishes are either a unusual combination of tasty, not everyday ingredients, and some are throughout daring, like the lime sorbet with avocado and eucalyptus foam. The laid-back atmosphere and the creative dishes make Beulings a very pleasant food adventure.

This is a really special restaurant. Actually, it more accurately deserves the description of dining event. Seven courses, plus so many amuse that I lost count, plus wonderful friendly service makes for an unforgettable night. It's perfect for a really special date, or when your parents are visiting: not cheap but worth every penny.

My husband and I just rented out the restaurant for our wedding dinner for 21 people. We made a great choice with Beulings what a gem of a restaurant! The food is so creative and delicious and the service is impeccable. Every single course was tasty and our guests all commented on how great the restaurant was. They were also so accommodating and flexible with guests that had certain dietary restrictions. Thanks so much, Beulings, for a memorable, delicious and special meal! We will always return!
