"Simply put, this restaurant is now my first stop on any future trips to Belgium. The food was delicious. Gravy, sweet and smoky like a mix of ketchup and barbecue sauce, smothered soft meatballs compacted with onions, meat, and tiny bits of fat that dissolved into juicy flavor pockets. My fries were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside."
"After visiting the shops in Liège, you must eat a good, hearty meal at the emblematic Café Lequet at the foot of the Passerelle. They prepare the best Liège-style meatballs in the region."
"Two delicious juicy balls are served with a lot of tasty sauce, sweet from the soft-stewed onions and syrup. A sauce that you would like to sweep up to the last drop with a piece of bread."
"The meatballs ("boulettes" are small, "boulets" are larger, and both are usually a mix of pork or beef) come served in a sweet and sour sauce made of onion, vinegar, brown sugar, and Sirop de Liège. Expect to see them served with frites, crudités, or even a fruit compote. Try it at: Café Lequet, Liège."
"Almost everyone was eating the same dish. It was amazing! It's a juicy meatball with a rich gravy that has hints of sweetness and lots of flavors. The pommes frites were also good-- exactly what I have come to expect from a Belgian restaurant."
"Here I've eaten one of the best, if not the best Boulet à la Liègeoise, everything was perfect."
"If you want to try the best Boulets Liègeoise, you have to visit cafe "Lequet" at least once in your lifetime."
"For the famous boulets à la liègeoise (meatballs) head for the popular Café Lequet near the footbridge."
"Boulets Liègeois” can be found pretty much anywhere in the city. However, nowhere else dishes them up quite like the nondescript Café Lequet... best accompanied with a local beer and it’s enough for most people to slowly eat their way into Nirvana."
"We had terrific "boulets aux frites" (meatballs in thick sweet-bitter sauce with frites and mayonaise)."
