    Very beautiful art deco establishments, magnificently restored, right down to the toilets. Pleasant terrace but almost undrinkable draft beer ordered and unfriendly staff. Damage.

    The food was fine, but the staff was very unfriendly and inattentive even though it was not busy.

    The place is very nice, the food so & so. The service could be a lot better. Also, as the menu card is very limited, make sure you can offer everything. Kriek was not available, desserts neither because the kitchen closed at 15pm while they said the kitchen was open all the time, we finished the main dish a lot earlier but the waiter didn't look after us to see if we were interested for a desert. Don't think I will come back.

    Excellent Belgian food and great service, highly recommend! Salvatore was our waiter and he was an excellent host. If you are a tourist or you just want to taste authentic food, great place to visit!

    This place is having an identity crisis. Nice waiter, but very disappointing food and the music does not fit the character of the restaurant. Expensive too. Could be vastly improved with simple changes. Fine for just a drink.

    The restaurant was closed even though we had a reservation and a confirmation. It looks like the restaurant is closed for good.

    This restaurant was recommended by a local, its not bad at all but its not a 5 star place. Don't get me wrong. I recommend this place but don't expect something outstanding.

    Excellent food and service at this moderately upscale restaurant in the center of town. But don't overlook the fantastic decor, including the toilets. Highly recommended.

    We wanted to experience carbonade flamande for the first time and read a review recommending this place. The interior looks really good, however the rest of the expericence is way below any expectation. The carbonade flamande had a rather funny smell. At first we thought that’s the way it should be but after a few bites we realized the meat was bad. We stayed two tables away from the bathroom door and bad smells came from there every once in a while. After a few hours, both me and my partner started to feel bad (stomachache, nausea etc). Will never go there again!

    Yesterday we were invited by our friends to Brussels to this restaurant. I have to share my experience with you. The interior looks decent, there is a big cocktail bar, piano… however there it stops. It took 15 minutes till we received our aperitif. For such a restaurant at least I expected a small plate of chips or something to nibble with it, there was nothing. The first thing we ordered for starter they didn’t had. It took way too long before the food came. The starters were small and the dishes with the eggs were cold, the egg shell was still in the plate. Shocking! No bread came with the dish so we were obliged to ask for it, their answer was in 3 minutes ( guys, it took 30 minutes before we received our food and now you still need extra time? ) however, it took way much more than 3 minutes for the bread and it came without a butter. The red wine was nice but it look very bizarre, transparent, I would say it’s juice. Than later we received our biggest disappointment: the main course. It was a disaster. The food looked horrible, served like in a hospital. That was the worst filet américain I ever ate. The sausage I ordered looked like a purée, the salad had a lack of inspiration, no vegetables, poor dressing. We had no more appetite for dessert. The coffee was waterish, it came without a cookie. One of the worst restaurants I did and for this bad experience, way too overpriced. One advice for the owner: please do something about the toilet, it smelled horrible and there was nothing for drying my hands. One advice for the chef: look and taste your own food. The stuff was trying their best but it’s a restaurant I will never come back. Stefan

    The meatballs were delicious and the chicken with cream was good too they are traditional dishes, the French fries were ok, but not good enough. Good service from waiters.

  • 4/5 Philipp S. 1 year ago on Google • 96 reviews
    Very good food. The prices are slightly higher. Unfortunately there were only a few service staff for quite a few guests. The existing waiters put in a lot of effort. The ambience is very interesting and appealing.

    The place has a lovely interior and the staff is very friendly. It’s a great place to eat typical Belgian food, I strongly recommend this restaurant !!

  • 5/5 Kathleen N. 11 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Our best meal in Brussels! You can't beat the food, the service and the ambience. Very relaxed dining inside and out, with rich, historic decor and lovely music. We were very impressed with the maitre d' and his staff who kept everyone served with drinks and food in a very efficient and friendly manner. A definite repeat for us!

    Good service, the flemmish stew was incredible. The steak was incredible. The cocktails were very good. It's a little pricey but was an unexpected gem for us on a very busy night. Toilets are from Harry Potter.

  • 1/5 Karolina M. W. 2 years ago on Google
    Saturday, 21:30. We are the only table occupied of the outside seating. Waived at staff several times. Inside seating not even at full capacity, seen staff standing idly. 32 minutes later, after being completely ignored, left the place. Seriously, there are other more attentive places nearby.

  • 2/5 Lemaire A. 1 year ago on Google
    The three of us went there on Sunday 3pm. We ordered a drink and got it. And then they drew the curtains and very soon we were the only customers left in the (rather dark) place, as if we were going to be indicted with sedition or another crime... It was my first and last visit...Be prepared...

    (Translated by Google) The food was good. The only bad thing is that you cannot pay with the card. The waitress told me that she had told me before entering the place but from what I understand, she had not told me anything about that. Well, at the time of payment, I had to go get the executive to the ATM that is in the subway and then go back to the place to pay. (Original) La comida estuvo buena. Lo único malo es que no se puede pagar con la tarjeta. La camarera me dijo que me había lo avisado antes de entrar al local pero por lo que tengo entendido, pues no me había dicho nada de eso. Pues en el momento de pago tuve que ir a sacar el ejecutivo al cajero automático que está en el metro y luego volver al local para pagar.

    Don't go there. Just get a view inside but do not consume. Eat somewhere else.

  • 3/5 Saz D. 4 years ago on Google
    Great old brasserie. Unfortunately they messed up our food order. Then the waiter ran off to answer the phone while we were ordering drinks so he didn't take most of the order. It is bad form to leave a paying customer to attend to enquiries, they should know that. The table next to us had a problem too.

  • 5/5 Bahringer D. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place in Brussels city centre, great food with really friendly stuff and reasonable prices. Strong recommendation from us.

    (Translated by Google) Typical Belgian food restaurant of quality and quantity. It's a bit out of the grand place but it's worth it. Belgian dishes are around € 11-16, and there are also good mussels cooked in various ways for € 24 a kilo. The interior of the restaurant is original, in an old but elegant plan, and the waiters are friendly and know several languages. It is big and clean. I recommend it if you are looking for good Belgian food at a good price and only 400 meters from the grand place. (Original) Restaurante de comida típica belga de calidad y bastante cantidad. Esta un poco alejado de la grand place pero merece la pena. Los platos belgas rondan entre los 11-16€, y también hay mejillones buenos cocinados de varias formas por 24€ el kilo. El interior del restaurante es original, en plan antiguo pero elegante, y los camareros son amables y saben varios idiomas. Es grande y limpio. Lo recomiendo si lo que buscais es buena comida belga a buen precio y tan solo a 400 metros de la grand place.

    A short walk from the Bourse this Cafe was disappointingly quiet. Whilst the neither the magnificent interior or menu had changed, the staff did not create the elegant atmosphere we experienced at our previous visit. Am never impressed when shown pictures of the dishes on offer. Definitely room for improvement.

    (Translated by Google) The setting of the restaurant is very authentic, a real old-fashioned brasserie, and the staff are cordial and helpful. But the cuisine is mediocre, canteen cuisine heated in the microwave, tasteless, industrial and poorly presented. I had a dish of waterzoi, one of the fish was tasteless and everything was drowned in an equally tasteless sauce. Very disappointed. (Original) Le cadre du restaurant est très authentique, une vraie brasserie à l'ancienne, et le personnel est cordial et serviable. Mais la cuisine est médiocre, de la cuisine de cantine réchauffée au micro-ondes, sans saveur, industrielle et mal présentée. J'ai pris un waterzoi en plat, l'un des poissons était sans goût et tout était noyé dans une sauce tout aussi insipide. Très déçu.

    We experience very nice dinner here, found it accidentally. We had 1 kg of mussels with garlic sauce , which one was good, and salad with gout cheese and apple which one was really delicious. Pancakes with Nutella as a dessert was also good but probably wasn’t freshly made .
