    The waiters were working with the mask not covering their nose and the people behind the desk with no mask at all, the cheesecake was old and the bottom layer with speculoos was too humid to be a fresh cake, the table was dirty and even after being served the waiter did not clean it from the cups left from the previous clients, so not a good experience, the place is not cheap so I’d expect a good service a clean place and good and fresh products.

    Terrible customer service. I thought the staff is the racist. He did not say anything when he take my order. I felt I am ignored by the staff.

    Nettes kleines Café nahe des Mont des Arts. Der Kuchen und der Kaffee waren gut und auch die Sandwiches sahen sehr lecker aus. Der Service war sehr freundlich und wir würden wieder her kommen.

    (Translated by Google) I found the place via UberEats, The products are fresh, very generous amounts and everything is very tasty At the bottom of the pack, two sweets that are great fun :) I recommend! Especially the chicken ciabatta tartuffata (Original) J’ai découvert l’endroit via UberEats, Les produits sont frais, les quantités très généreuses et le tout est très savoureux Au fond du paquet, deux bonbons qui font super plaisir :) Je recommande! Surtout la ciabatta poulet tartuffata

    Such an incredible place with a wonderful vibe. Sandwiches are extremely delicious and filling, interior is cozy, service was kind. I could go on and on and still it would not reflect how good I feel about this place. Totally recommend it!

    Terrible service, terrible food. They don’t even understand what a cappuccino means and would serve you a watery liquid in a broken cup. Just avoid this place.

    Uneducated employees. Not English speaking. Both employees didn’t understand my order or any questions. Overcharged. They didn’t apologize or offer a solution. Poor Poeple. Poor service. Food over priced.

    (Translated by Google) The servers are very rude and are often wrong in the orders without even apologizing. This is already the 3rd time it happens without counting what I see with other customers when I wait patiently my order. The boss should ask himself questions about who he hires ... (Original) Les serveurs sont très désagréables et se trompent souvent dans les commandes sans meme s'excuser. C'est déjà la 3eme fois que ca arrive sans compter ce que je vois avec les autres clients quand j'attends patiemment ma commande. Le patron devrait se poser des questions sur qui il engage...

    Love Ciabatta A lovely French restaurant next to Royale Place serving beautiful tasty baguettes and salads and coffee. Good number of seating is available both indoors and outdoors too. If it’s a sunny day, don’t forget to chose to sit outside where you can see tourists flocking to Grand Place of Museums at Royal Place. The girls at the counter have full smiles serving quick and happily! Not that expensive when compared to others nearby. Suggest you to break for a snack/lunch on your way to Grand Place.

  • 1/5 Pavel K. 9 months ago on Google • 115 reviews
    Cappuccino shrugged in hot glasses. It is impossible to drink, we had to wait for it to cool down. And then the coffee was cold. It's horrible. And besides, 4.20 euros per glass is expensive.

  • 3/5 Kevin T. 8 months ago on Google • 53 reviews
    Ciabattas were really good, the quality of the food is appreciated. I found it a bit overprice. We paid 18 euros for 2 ciabattas and a bottle of water. The staff seems a bit lost and didn't know well the ingredients and it was not easy to understand what was in there for allergy purpose. Also, the menu was not up to date so after choosing and tell what do we want they told us that the current ingredients was not matching the menu. They could have put a paper or come thing to explain that a bit since it was a bit messy with the queue. But anyway, bad day happen I'm not blaming. Just sharing the experience we had. I'll go back for the quality.

    Overpriced coffee. tasted horrible & had a marzipan flavour? Avoid the takeaway Club sandwich - it was completely dry & when I asked for mayo I was told they had none (despite many other sandwiches containing mayo?!)

  • 3/5 Emma Van R. 9 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Today was the 3rd time we came here as the staff is always lovely and the food great. Unfortunately we can't enjoy the lovely terrace and always have to sit inside (which is still lovely) due to smokers outside. However, even when we do sit inside smokers seem to choose to sit at the table directly in front of the entrance. So even though I think the food is great it is hard to enjoy it and we always leave sooner than we want due to the entire inside restaurant smelling like cigarettes and after a while even the lovely ciabattas start tasting like cigarettes :(

  • 2/5 Carolina R. 2 years ago on Google
    The place was not full but we must wait for more than 10 until someone came to take the stuff left by prior guests. Then I ordered a chai latte that tasted like coloured milk with sugar - no sign of chai at all - for 4.7 euros. I wouldn't recommend.

  • 2/5 Hwahyun K. 2 years ago on Google
    It's okay to skip this place... they forgot my order and brought my coffee 45 min after the order without any apology. The staff who served the coffee was quite rude as well. Also, the quality of sandwich and coffee was dull.

  • 5/5 Polina A. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a delicious food and amazing cappuccino! The food is expensive,but it is worth it! Quality products, result quality food. Recommending!

  • 2/5 Mariana R. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff wonderful, but I burnt my tongue with a cappuccino's zip. How is possible, they don't make sure that the temperature is correct? They are not using an electronic machine. Therefore, they're perfectly able yo check the temperature before burnt the clients!

    Nice terrace in the city centre with good coffee

  • 1/5 Andrew H. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered three sandwiches to eat inside and they never came. We waited 45 minutes and asked them THREE times where our order was. First time “oh I’m really sorry but you know with the stress….” No mention of when or how we’d get our order. Second time “yes sir I’ll take care of that right away”…with no follow up. Third time, same thing. Finally had to wait in line to get my refund. All the manager had for me was “yeah sorry we were really stressed” but there was hardly no one left in the place. Not once after asking did they try to take care of us. Luckily, I got my refund and the manager didn’t even offer a free sandwich, just a “yeah sorry we were busy and we consistently forgot your order”. It’s hard to find customer service this poor elsewhere in Brussels! Important to note that the sandwiches were 100% ready and put on a plate in front of us when we ordered them. They should have just been given to us there. Also, we didn’t seem to be the only people that day who were in a similar situation.

    The best stuffed "ciabatte" in Brussels

  • 2/5 Malte H. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was in principle really fine. But: all tables were a mess, apparently no one felt responsible. I asked multiple times to clean mine so I could start eating (someone had spilled their coffee). By the time it was cleaned (around me still a mess), my sandwich was cold. Also asked multiple times for my ice tea they kept forgetting… (turned out rather unspectacular taste-wise, very thin, for 4€). really poorly organized and highly uninvolved staff.

  • 4/5 Bruno C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to drink or to grab a bite. The place is cosy and warm. Well dedicated staff and brilliant service. Well located nearby the museums. The price is high. We were spending a great time.

  • 5/5 Bonzi B. 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is not a virus (like me) and tastes incredibly good. your money is well spent here

  • 5/5 Maximilian N. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome sandwiches and coffee! Very good and fresh. I can only recommend. They are however, on the more expensive side!

  • 5/5 jana k. 3 years ago on Google
    was there in 2018 and i'm still thinking about that place, very cozy inside and the food was delicious, would definitely reccomend to go there.

  • 1/5 Alessandro M. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible service! I understand they were busy but still, respectful communication with the customers is a must. Bought a quick cold sandwich because everything else was taking too long. It happens the sandwich was rotten. The cheese not properly kept fresh I imagine. No lunch for me today I guess ...

  • 3/5 jamila a. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is yummi and price is very good, quite place next to music museum. The serves is very slow due to shortage of employees and they don't know what is inside tha sandwiches! I also didn't like that the cashier lady was handling my food with her hands not wearing gloves or using a spatula!!

  • 5/5 Liam 1 year ago on Google
    A great choice of Ciabatta, hot and cold drinks. Food tasted as good as it looked. Cosy atmosphere and great music choice.

  • 5/5 Evgenia G. 1 year ago on Google

    Nice cafe spot - friendly staff. looks like a good selection of lunch foods and sweet treats, including some vegan options. Really enjoyed the winter tea I ordered.

  • 1/5 Ben R. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice atmosphere but unfortunately experience diminished by poor service and underwhelming food. Waiter spilled full espresso on our trousers and did not offer a refund on meal or to pay for professional cleaning. We requested this and it was denied. We were offered a free “sweet” item from the menu, which was not appealing to us as the two waffles we had were quite bland and dry and we did not want any more food as a result.

  • 5/5 Vivi Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Good bread and nice selection of softs. Desserts look also great.

  • 5/5 Aleksandra 11 months ago on Google
    Great place for a snack and a coffee. Usually good music and pleasant service. Gets busy during lunchtime, but the staff cope well.

  • 5/5 Ray W. 11 months ago on Google
    Food was good, service was excellent. The price was reasonable considering it's only a block from the Royal Art Museums. We had two sandwiches and two drinks for less than $20 Euro.

  • 5/5 Ulici I. 11 months ago on Google
    I decided to sit here because it looked really cute and had a nice atmosphere and music, but I was DELIGHTED with their ciabatta sandwich. Definitely recommend !

  • 5/5 Chocookie 10 months ago on Google
    Great Ciabatta, a bit too much bread but that is maybe because I am not too much into Ciabattas 😅. And the coffee is competing with Starbucks for how hot it can be. :( Overall still a 9/10

  • 1/5 Marco S. 9 months ago on Google
    The ciabatta is not crusty, it tasted like soaked bread tbh, only 1 star for the ingredients, cause those were okay. It should be prepared on the spot and not in advance, this is making the bread taste like it's been soaked in water...

  • 1/5 Yustika W. 7 months ago on Google
    I was standing and waiting there for a few minutes in front of the guy who then asked me if I needed something. Placed my order, didn’t say a word and just went to make the coffee. It was put in a mug and asked him to put it in take away cup . He sighed then did it anyway. Maybe it wasn’t much but I was so irritated by his attitude. And after all that the coffee wasn’t even good.

  • 2/5 Bas A. 4 years ago on Google
    Looks nice but ones you visit the toilet you lose all apetite and notice the kitchen is not that clean either. More focus on the basics would be nice. - Stange reaction of the restaurant that it is the problem of the customers. The toilets already looked shabby and therefore it would take more time cleaning. So instead of thinking how to solve ans clean it they do not want customers because they are the ones causing the problem. For a better overal raring my cappucino and service was OK, but my girlfriend liked her latte, little cakes were nice an atmosphere was good.

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 3 years ago on Google
    Stopped by for a coffee after arriving at Central Station. Friendly service, and good coffee served with a smile! We came back for lunch, which was delicious! Lots of options (meat, veggie, vegan), and plenty of cakes and pastries too. They talked us through the menu in 3 languages, in the end we all had something different and were all satisfied - a good size baguette with lots of great flavour. We also had some beers from 2 different Brussels breweries, and enjoyed everything outside in the sunshine. Really well managed with Covid restrictions. I will definitely be back every time I am in Brussels. Merci !

    Interior design is nice and staff friendly, prices are decent too. When I visited at 1 pm on a weekday there was not a great vegetarian and vegan offering (only 1 vegetarian option), but according to the owner this is an exception. I was not convinced of the taste of the bread.

  • 2/5 Warm_Cup_Of_ B. 5 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Food is pretty good, but the prices are high (e.g. €9 for a sandwich). On top of that, I waited 30min for one sandwich. The employees are friendly, though.
