    The worst restaurant I have ever been. I ordered a Paella Royale with my families, the original price was €35 and in total they just X3!! The most hilarious thing was a bottle of water cost me €4, crazy! Never visit to this restaurant even by accident. Also that when I got the receive it says €161.5 and there were no service but they told me that I need to add 10% service charge.

    Do not enter this place even by mistake. Horrible service by the guy. They are just there to steal your money. We ordered just one pizza which wasn't great and they convinced us that we ordered a grilled chicken as well and shoved it to us. We had to pay for it even though we dint order for it. Such cheats.

    Stay away from Saint Laurent In a late summer afternoon, while enjoying the nice warm weather, strolling down the ally way in Brussels Central area, we were flanked by multiple hard selling pan-handlers type street side cafe, all of them try to pull us into their establishment with pictorial filled menu in multiple languages, well, that should have been the alarm that we needed to adhere to, however, we have had many great experiences with other street side cafe in our travel in other parts of the world, and we were getting a bit hungry as its was near dinner hours. So we gave in, we sat down at the Saint Laurent . They made sure we sat at the most outer table by the street, so they can use us to parade to other passerby tourists. We were served with cheap house wine and it gave me a headache, and some sort of beer that tasted like some home brew that had gone bad. We kept our thoughts to ourselves, but as minutes gone by, no food, no sight of our starter dish. So we broke silence and asked the waiters that were busying stalking other tourists walking by. Eventually we were able to get someone's attention, he said 'yes, I will bring you some garlic bread soon'. We thought that was part of the dinner package, well, we thought wrong. The few pieces of staled bread sprinkled with some tomato sauce, garlic powder and quickly heated in the speed-oven, and some of the slices were still cold when we got it. Next the starter dish, the shrimp scampi was like chewing on shoe leather, and the salad under the smoked salmon was still soaked in water. Oh, please wait for the main course. Lastly, the main course; mixed fish dish was like the size of a starter, we would have done much better with frozen fish fillet, and the Paella dish was missing many main ingredient like shrimp, chorizo, clams,...etc. I guess we were lucky that we got a handful of mussel and two calamari rings. Well, we know this is supposed to be cafe style food and should not expect as much as from a gourmet restaurant, but we were surprised with the 4 euro charge for the horrific garlic bread. And the store owner / manager played the 'I don't speak English' game, funny things is that he totally understood our English when he took our order, aye!? Needless to say, we did not bother with the so called 'desert, included'. Lesson learned... never, never, never, let your guard down when you are in Brussels, to allow these sweet talking bandits ruining your wonderfully planned holiday with a bad experience! So, stay away from side ally cafe's, there is a reason that they are stuffed in the side ally, not able to make it to the main concourse, mainly because they have something to hide. I would have give this joint a negative rating if it was possible!

    The seafood was good, and the armosphere was quite calm and nice. Polite staff. Price is average.

    I'm not picky, but. Service terrible. Awful. Food served as for a dog - not even "bon apetit". Just thrown at the table. Mussels tasty, but escargotes unedible. Dessert - tiny waffle from supermarket. Manager scolded us for ordering one portion of musseels fot two. Don't come here.

    Terrible, terrible place. They up charged us on multiple items and had acted like it was included with the entree. Afterwards, the waiter requested a tip up front. Do not go.

    Absolutely horrendous! Only a couple there, sitting a few tables away, and myself. Half an hour wait for food. The other couple asked the owner/waiter for help, he rudely repllied, 'Wait!' Then pulled out his phone and rang a friend. Food was disgusting. Tried to charge extra for stupid things. 4 Euros for the cheapest, smallest water you could buy. Not surprised about the other reviews.

    I was there a couple of years ago. Food was below average and very expensive. When we pointed out a mouse walking calmly amongst the chairs of the restaurant the head waiter said: "C'est normal" -- that is normal. He then told us a story about a hotel where he had worked before, and where a restaurant critique had seen a sandwich with six mice in it. Don't go there. (note that it does not even warrant the single star)

    They are thieves!! If you want to experience someone stilling money right from your pocket, Go there. We went there last night asking for sharing a couple of dishes and they charged us the triple of the bill!! Up to 70 euros per person for 2 beers, mussels and some rubbery chicken. Avoid this place!

    So to begin with the owner stood in the street trying to convince people to eat there. The service was awful so were the restrooms. For example there was no soap. Now to the food. This is the worst part of it, the portions were ridiculously small. The meat was old and not eatable. There were no spices used and none of them were in the table. Even McDonald's would be a better choice. This terrible menu was priced 18€ per person. This is A NO GO RESTAURANT !!!
