    Great restaurant with a big variety of tapas ! As a vegan, it’s not always easy to find a restaurant where I can eat, but this one had a few vegan/vegetarian tapas. The food was excellent. The service was nice and our waitress helped me a lot identifying what I could eat on the menu! It’s always nice. The place in itself is nice. The decoration is typically Spanish. There were too many pieces of dead animals hanging around for me, but I’m sure it looks yummy for others! The prices were reasonable. We took a menu of 6 tapas for 30€ and a bottle of house wine for 17€.

    Great tapas. Big menu with reasonable prices, everything was very tasty. Large drink menu with cocktails too. Terrace outside has heating lamps. Located in St Gery in very central location. Try the sangria, it is very nice. Great selection for vegetarians too.

    A broad selection of delicious tapas. Couldn't try them all, so planning on return visit to try some more. Due to the small size of the restaurant and the number of patrons, the atmosphere was quite noisy, and the wait staff very busy.

    Quick service, reasonable prices and quaint atmosphere. Food was very good. Paella, meatballs and dolmas were my favorite, but the cheese croquettes and goat cheese with roasted tomatoes were also tasty. Mushrooms werent my favorite. Would return!

    Food is prepared yesterday, or even earlier, and heated in the microwave. Quality really bad! A lot of oil, tastes like nothing and cheap quality, but very expensive. It’s 35 degrees outside and they served our (expensive) water and coke hot(!) I couldn’t believe this. The cocktail was nice, but didn’t have alcohol in it. I’d strongly recommend walking past this place!

    Very quiet restaurant. Food was decent, good variety. Service good once we worked out how it operated - fill in the card with your choices !

    Good tapas. The mussels we ordered was good and tasty but was slightly over cooked. The octopus was good also. We liked the grilled cuttlefish the most because it was cooked just right and tasty. The batter on the fried calamari was a little hard unlike the Italian which is light. Finally was the grilled king prawns which was fresh and cooked just right with just the right flavor. It also came with a little paella and salad.

    Not bad for if you're looking to spend some time chatting. The service was slightly slow. The food was pretty nice, although they refused to give us tap water. Honestly, I think this is normal in Brussels, but when I'm paying £40 a table for tapas, I'd like a jug of water on the house.

    Best part: Italian waiter. Food ok but not great. The manager of the restaurant is extremely unpolite, when we went to pay he told us that they did not accepted card. We didn’t have much cash but we managed to put together most of the money. We were missing three euro and the guy told us to go at an atm to take them and he could not have a discount of 3 euro over 112 as his salary was low. In a very arrogante way he told us that we should have not sit if we didn’t have cash adding not to come back.

    Most tapas felt like frozen food quickly re-heaten and lack savor. On the upside, the service was quick and correct.

  • 1/5 Maurizio 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered four dishes, all the plates were disgusting. Half of the plates were frozen meals. Don't go there it is not worth the price. Even with a half empty restaurant the owner is really unfriendly. Only accepting cash.

    Food is of mediocre quality (I'd say two to three stars). However, service is extremely slow and they also only take cash. When I asked why it's not possible to pay by card the owner simply said "that's how it is" so most likely there is some fishy tax avoidance going on.

    Delicious tapas and churos but not so much for dame blanche.

  • 4/5 Courtney B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was average, the honey chicken was nice. Octopus was bland. Wasn't the best meal I had in brussles. Sorry

  • 5/5 İnci �. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty tapas for a good price as per location. Hanging jambs might not be the best decoration idea for some.

  • 4/5 Ege E. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious tapas, good prices as per the location. Needs a bit better decoration.

  • 4/5 Kevin O. 1 year ago on Google
    Good tapas, go there for the food but maybe not for the decor.

  • 4/5 Josiah S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent Tapas, really good Spanish style tapas, jámon, and sangria. Was cash only as of June 2021

  • 1/5 Maria N. 9 months ago on Google
    Really bad. The Chef puts tons of pepper on the food, maybe he/she thinks it is mexican food. In the tiger mussels there is no trace of actual mussel and we are in belgium. Or it may be that the pepper does not allow to notice the mussel. The hams decorating the place are very dry, i doubt they are ok for human consumption

    It’s nice and even romantic place. I particularly enjoyed that it was not loud in here. Food was amazing! I tried things I haven’t tried before - they were wonderful! Tried things that I knew - and they exceeded any expectations! Service was very nice as well! Highly recommend this place!

    Decent tapas at decent prices in the centre of Brussels. We had a menu for two (basically 6 portions of tapas) which was more than filling. House wine not too bad either. Can get crowded in the evening, but during lunchtime rather quiet spot.
