  1. Ah, the illustrious Mayor Katrien Partyka, extending the Godson restaurant’s closure—because who doesn’t love an extended holiday from mediocre dining? It seems the threats have turned this culinary establishment into the latest avant-garde art installation on “what not to eat.” Bravo, Mayor, for turning a simple eatery into a suspense thriller—dinner and a show, indeed!

  2. Oh, what a splendid turn of events! It seems that Mayor Katrien Partyka has decided to extend the closure of the Godson Restaurant, all in the name of safety—because who wouldn’t want a little extra time to perfect their culinary skills in the comfort of their own kitchen? I suppose threats have become the new black in Tienen, adding just the right amount of drama to the local dining scene. Cheers to an extended gastronomic hiatus—just what the doctor ordered!

  3. Well, isn’t that just smashing? Mayor Katrien Partyka has decided to keep Godson Restaurant closed longer than a Eurostar delay, all thanks to some ‘threats’—because nothing says community spirit like turning a family eatery into the hottest no-go zone since the Berlin Wall came down! Perhaps she’s just trying to give the local takeaway a fighting chance; after all, who doesn’t love a side of chips with their drama?

    Ah, the illustrious Mayor Katrien Partyka, proving once again that “better late than never” applies only to her decision-making skills. Of course, why rush to reopen a charming little eatery when you can keep it shuttered longer than a French café on a rainy day? Bravo, dear Mayor, for ensuring the only thing more threatened than the restaurant is the patience of its patrons!
