😠 Nice place to be where I’ve always been and enjoyed. Today 26/09/2020 by 13h10 as my child was “crying to much” I was told by the waitress that I was disturbing and I should stop it..... well, it was my last time here. People often mention nice, kids,

    One set menu for lunch (2 starters, 1 main, 1 dessert). Choose between 1 and 4 courses ranging from 14€ to 22€. Food is "healthy", tastes ok. When we got there they had run out of Crème Brulée so we got a not so great chocolate mousse, so ask before you sit down. No tap water available, need to pay 4€ for 0.5l! Waitress was helplessly busy, took 20min to bring the bill. Not sure I would go again for that price.

    I was disappointed from the food at this place . It offers limited food items during lunch . The dupont beer is super light . They do not offer belgium french fries in brussels which is a shame. The lasagne was very saucy , the croque monsieur samdwich was okay , the salmon omlette platter was fade in terms of taste . The vegan steak was average served with a sweet tahini weird sauce thats not even called hummus . The decoration is urban , its nice for children .

    A true oasis for families with small kids. Buggies can easily enter. As it's quite popular I'd reccomend booking a place in advance.

    the place looks very funky with a really nice atmosphere which is all ruined by the rude and unprofessional stuff. We had to stand for 10 minutes because they could not find our reservation. There is nothing vegan in the menu (not one thing), i was told that they cannot remove the cheese slice from a sandwich (!) so i can order that, it took them 1 hour to bring us 3 sandwiches and a soup which was not even the soup i have ordered. I complained and the cook or whoever that was, was very rude and even aggressive with us. Truly terrible service even for the low standards of Brussels. If they ever hire professional stuff i would go back there often.

    Very nice place for a brunch. The buffet is an all you can eat with a decent variety of food, either savoury or sweet. The dishes are freshly prepared and there wasn't one single thing I personally disliked. The place itself is very cool, built in ad clever way and presented with a very personal touch. Reservation is nearly mandatory at least during the weekend.

    Agreeable layout, good for kids, but fairly mediocre food for the prices charged.

    What a weird menu for a brunch. Very limited options and not what I'd like to eat for a brunch (Belgian andives, pig or Croque Monsieur). Very noisy atmoshpere . Staff was quite friendly.

    Very cute place that is good for families. The space is wide and has some room for kids to wander around. There are also low tables. The food was tasty, but for me the soup of the day lacked some flavours.

    Nice place for families! I thought the food was quite expensive. It was all tasty though!

  • 5/5 Maksym D. 2 months ago on Google • 46 reviews New
    The food was really suuuper delicious. I was really impressed. Very children-oriented place so for those who don’t enjoy being around kids, maybe not the best vibe. But generally awesome place!

    The place is nice but the service is bad. We had a reservation but, they only ‘booked’ for 45 min. The waitress gave us a deadline to leave the table before she even said hi. It’s not that I stay hours & hours in a place but the waitress was rude and the ‘deadline’ of 45 min to choose everyone’s dishes, get served, eat, pay & leave is not appreciated. We left 10 min after we arrived due to their bad service. The pizzeria nearby is great & good for families as well. COMMENT TO THE REPLY: Kindly note that we have never said that we were arriving at 11.30 to have lunch. Never. The restaurant made this up. Therefore, we weren't late as they mention. Their whole reply is nonsense. Luckily, we are not the only ones mentioning their rude & unefficient service. See all comments. The conlusion is the same: avoid this place and go to the pizzerias 5 min walking from there - they offer a nice service and are nice with kids, showing them how the pizzaiolo works. And the park is just in front.

    Very good weekend brunch, all-you-can-eat, very home-made style, nothing fancy. Although the place is always full tables are apart enough to not feel packed, as many other places in the area. Kids friendly, but with a nice area for them to play, so they don't need to run around you. I have low tolerance and I have never been bothered at all here.

    Went for a breakfast/ brunch but the menu didn't have a lot of options for bf. Food was okay. Waiters are really friendly. The restaurant is spacious with cool décore and a beautiful area for kids to play.

👍👍 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...
