    Loud, uncomfortable, expensive, unfriendly. They serve cocktails but staff aren't trained to make them properly. But at least it has a bit of life about it.

    Ate here on a Sunday afternoon. Pros: Nice staff Relaxed house music Nice environment. Cons: Nachos were not that great. Not sure about other food, but was not impressed with the cheese, sauces or guacamole. My experience: The staff were very nice, but the nachos were mediocre. Would not recommend them. That said, it’s a nice environment to have a meal. Hope that helps!

    Nice staff, helpful, English speaking, nice location and decor, nice atmosphere overall, but the food can be improved, as it is very blend, with things bought from supermarket like nachos and tortillas and cheese and other stuff. I would prefer to have something made by the cook and pay the difference.

    The flavor of the salami was great!! Perfect combo with drinks. Carbonara was surprising, very creamy with a strong bacon flavor. Fish was fried crispy. My favorite was the carbonara. The server was super nice, love the vibe at this restaurant.

    Only stopped there for a coffee. Staff was really nice but the coffee is seriously overpriced.

  • 5/5 Kuro H. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place to eat during break, the staff is really friendly and the price-quantity is fair. It's easy to access and at night you can party up a little bit. A place for every student. The food is delicious and you get what you ask. With public transportation it is easily accessible.

    Great spot for a Wednesday night. There were many young people drinking and having fun with there friends. My sister and I were looking for a relaxed local bar and found it here. The cocktails looks lovely but we had two carslberg beers (2,5 euro for a small). The staff was nice and the music was good.

    Only went for drinks, so can't comment on food. But the alcohol free mojito was great!

  • 4/5 Maria Josefina P. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for drinks and we had a very nice time with amazing music thanks to dj Vocca, drinks at very reasonable price. A place to comeback. Staff also very friendly!

    I went a couple of times and enjoyed the mexican food a lot. The burgers were not that great but not bad either. Very polite staff, nice beer collection, respectful of covid measures and pretty fast service. I will be going again soon given better circumstances.

    Everything was amazing: very good food, nice service, great ambience and vibes..and happy hour with great delicious cocktails ..definitely worth to try it...

  • 5/5 Rashonda B. 4 years ago on Google
    Everything about this place is top notch!! Our waiter was very courteous and nice. The food was so delicious!!! The drinks were strong and tasty. You can’t beat the buy 1 get 1 free! The buffalo wings were not spicy at all. In America, buffalo wings means spicy and hot, but these were still so very good and crispy. We like the sauces that they do offer. I highly recommend El Cafe, and we will be going again 😊

👍👍 How in the world this shop doesn't have 5 stars. Come on people. One of the best in Brussels. It tops almost all the list in any internet blogs you may visit for the top10 Frites in Belgium and it deserves it. Taste is very crispy on the outside. Lots of place to sit with your friends outside to ha...
