    We reserved through Fork, and it is normal to ask how the discount works. But that guy who works there was the worst of all and doesn’t want to explain. He made us feel uncomfortable eating in that restaurant. He was impolite and rude. We are customers and it is normal to ask questions. So never again! Restaurant reviews are a lie. They don’t deserve the high ratings. Read all reviews before getting to that restaurant

    Horrendous service ! The complete entitlement and terrible customer service of the owner is shocking. Average food compared to the price. The only saving grace of this restaurant is it’s location. There are several restaurants in the area where it would be better to spend your money than at a restaurant where the owner makes you feel like he’s doing you a service by serving you.

    Loved this restaurant! Two had salmon in parchment, one had the veggie risotto with truffles, and I had the veal loin special (think bone in ribeye). They were all excellent, along with the mashed potato and veggie medley.

    I found the menu interesting and courses, surprising and very tasty. The wine bottle is clearly overpriced though, especially the lighter ones. An other expectation within that price range would be a better service and a true passionate waiter adviser. Instead you have to scan a qr code and browse the menu alone on your phone .. not very social in my opinion. they should at least walk you through the menu before letting you reading it.

    This is a bittersweet review. The food was wonderful, imaginative. Worthy of an occasion. The waiter was cold, snobbish, dismissive and it felt a bit like our being there was an interruption to him. There are a few really good foodie places in Brussels. Why would I go back here when I can get good food and kind service both? Who wants to pay a lot to be treated like an inconvenience?

    The senior staff is extremely rude and entitled and this during a business lunch!!!! The younger colleagues are very polite and ok, but I won’t go here again or recommend this place to anyone because of the rude older waiter. You don’t like your job or want to act like you’re in some village, switch your workplace! God forbid you bring someone here like a client or business partner!!!

    The food was average. All dishes were creamy. Service was good but not exceptional. The atmosphere of the place was not great

  • 5/5 Adam M. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. Relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. Friendly service. Quite long wait for the food. But very much worth it

  • 5/5 Wisrute B. 4 years ago on Google
    A solid 5-star. Great flavorful dishes backed up by good service. Highly recommended.

  • 3/5 Pietro Francesco F. 10 months ago on Google
    The place is small and cozy, although it can be noisy when full. The menu does not have a wide offer, but it becomes very narrow for vegetarian dishes. At the time of writing there was only one main dish without meat, the vegetable cous-cous. So, the focus is on meat and the vegetarian main dish is really just a backup. In two people we had a starter, two mains, two desserts and a bottle of wine. The portions are adequate and we were full at the end. The wine was quite good (and pricey), the dishes were tasty as well, but maybe not as much as I would expect from the price. In particular the vegetarian main and the dessert (tarte tatin) would not surprise me in a lower end restaurant. The filet with summer truffle was reported as very good. Overall a positive experience, the staff was welcoming and ready to provide allergy information. It would be 4 stars if it wasn't for the poor vegetarian offer.

    Excellent restaurant, ambient very cozy!

  • 5/5 Chinmaie N. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here for dinner after hearing from a friend. Loved the ambience, quiet and cozy and perfect for a romantic dinner with your partner. We had both vegetarian and non vegetarian menu, both the foods were excellent, loved the vegetarian entree and the chocolate ganache dessert was super good and the wine pairing with the food was done very well by the staff. Had a lovely evening. Will definitely be back.

    Excellent scallops and all the dishes was very tasty. Good value for the price of the surprise menu with wine package.

    Wonderful food, beautiful presentation. Service was very good also. I highly recommend a stop here. Make a reservation, it will be busy.

  • 5/5 Fleur A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very very good dishes and the waiter that served our table was very serviceable, with humor and a great personality. I would warmly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere was a bit more informal than af other Michelin guide restaurants I have been to, but for me that more a merit than a flaw- it makes for a great experience where you can focus on the food, enjoying your company and the skill and preparation it takes for a night to go as relaxed and smoothly as the night we had. A must try is the scallop tartare and I have also very much enjoyed the lamb and the bite of truffle risotto my boyfriend ordered.

  • 5/5 Eddie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent Michelin plate deserving cooking with simple ingredients prepared very well. The tenderloin was rare and perfectly tender and the lamb was very flavorful and tender. Dessert was made in house and also delicious. Serving size was perfect for a three course meal.

👍👍 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.
