  • 4/5 Mr. B. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the better Spanish restaurants in Brussels. It is a big place, so it can be crowded and loud. The atmosphere is good and the tapas are delicious! Both tapas and wine are reasonably priced. 2 things can be improved however. 1) remove the minimum amount of 3 tapas per person. 2) give an empty plate for each guest so not all people around the table are eating from the same plates when sharing the tapas.

    We sat outside on a warm fall evening and enjoyed tapas and wine with the (small) crowds swirling past us. Delicious food and wine, great unobtrusive service, comfy benches and tables.

    Tasteful tapas, the chili and the ice coffee were really good! Pleasant atmosphere, owner and waiters are nice, prices are fair (compared to Brussels cost of life). Sangria was a little too light, this is my only remark.

    Extremely casual dine in place with everything you would expect for a tapas place. Wine is super cheap. Tinto Verano and Sangria are also on the menu. Tapas plates are super generous. €5/plate with a three plate/person minimum. They also provide bread. You'll be super full.

    Strongly recommended! The guy is amazing, the food extremely good, especially the mushrooms, the location really in the heart ♥ of Brussels but cosy and without cars! Try the rice 🍚 with estragon-risotto de saint Jacques, calamars a la provencale, scampis diaboliques, croquettes iberique, everything is 😋 delicious! Enjoy!!!

    A great Tapas restaurant near the Grote Markt/ Great Place in Brussels. There is outdoor seating available on the street as well as indoor. It can get busy, so do reserve a table in advance. The Sangria was fantastic as well as the various tapas we called for (Patata Bravas probably had too much of influence from the Belgian Fries, so would skip that!). The Lasagna and Tortilla are highly recommended. The pricing was fair (6€ per tapas). The service was friendly.

  • 5/5 Ingy B. 1 year ago on Google • 110 reviews
    Enjoyed our dining experience here greatly. Everything tasted great. I had calamari, batatas bravas, roasted pepper in garlic and PISTI the portions were much larger than expected and I should have gone with the 3 portions. You can get each portion for 5euro and must order 3 per person. Heads up that you cannot split the bill and have to pay for the whole table together.

    Whatever you eat is so delicious! Inside is cozy, but when the weather allows you can have your dinner outside. 👌🏼My favorite tapas: Rip with honey Guacamole Batatas bravas and its sauce Spinach lasagna 💶Prices are okay for Brussels standards. Per tapas is 6 Euro. 1 lt of Sangria is 18/20 Euro. 📍The restaurant is in the center. Very close to Manneken Pis.

    The real anti tapas. The most disgusting experience I ever had, is just not good. However, the name is great as you need to be crazy to call that tapas.

  • 4/5 Phughy 3 years ago on Google • 44 reviews
    A restaurant that stays true to it's roots. You immediately feel like your in Spain. Typical tapas concept with meticulously prepared dished. Delicious spicy garlic sauce with the patatas bravas. The drinks were fine, tinto de verano, that sugary soft drink addition to wine. Service was very quick and friendly. It tends to be a little loud so I won't take your s/o here on a first date . Nu highly recommended to come and take a bite here with some friends, with a beer and a fine glass of Sangria!

    Personally, I dont go crazy for this place. It is quite affordable but too industrial for me. It doesnt feel like the food is fresh but mostly prepared/defrozed. The atmosphere its quite nice but gets pretty busy. I have been couple of times with big groups of friends.

  • 5/5 Lara A. 7 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Lovely tapas joint in a buzzing restaurant/bar section of Brussels. The mint salad, ribs, mushrooms and Sangria are a must! Indoor and Outdoor seating available. The vibe is great, sit outside for people watching!

  • 5/5 C C. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing discovery. A spanish tapas place with lots of variety and very good price/quality. You can have an evening here for 20 euro per person with one drink inclusive.

  • 5/5 Jelena M. 10 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed so much. Tapas were spectacular! They brought us an extra table when there was no space to sit. Go and enjoy yourself!

  • 1/5 Nico C. 1 year ago on Google
    We made a reservation, then we had to wait for 30 minutes to get a table. When we finally were seated, they informed us we couldn’t order food for another 45 minutes because the kitchen was busy. Why bother taking reservations? Utter ridiculous

  • 5/5 Michael O. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Rachid DC H. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food, good prices. Some Spanish or Latin music could add to the experience.

  • 5/5 Marília C. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff is super great, kind and fast. The food is very good, specially patatas bravas!

  • 3/5 David H. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was average, nothing spectacular. Also has a minimum order of 5 dishes and a big warning on the menu that they won't split bills, which we weren't doing anyway but overall this place just gave the appearance this is ran solely as a Business with no real actual passion or interest in the food or the customers

  • 4/5 John W. 3 years ago on Google
    Very reasonable prices / quality ration. Don't expect all ingredients to be fresh (as opposed to frozen) but you get great value for money and their food is still very tasty. Even the frozen shrimp are good. Pretty fast, too. If I remember correctly, you pay €12,50 for 3 different tapas, to be chosen from a quite big menu. I never worry about the food when I go there. The kitchen is cleaner than the kitchens of a few high-end places I've seen.

  • 4/5 kenzo h. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cosy seating. All dishes are €5 for some this is cheap but for others too expensive

  • 5/5 Alice J. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing vegetarian selection. Very well priced - have recommended to everyone I know!! Would come back again and again! Thank you!

  • 4/5 Alexander G. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place, the food you could say is very commercial, not really authentic tapas and the sangria also, but we enjoyed ours and the service was great.
