Brussels Mussels

Restaurant

👍👍 This is one of my favourite restaurants in Vilnius. Guys, mussels in Belgium aren't as wonderful as they are here. I was also pleasantly impressed with their oysters, which were well complemented by a mild mignonette. Service is always courteous and attentive. People often mention service, restaurant, nice, good, great, table, amazing, mussels, atmosphere, selection,

    Well designed, especially relaxing atmosphere on mornings on weekends in summer once sittings arranged outside. Food is tasty, service is quick. Regularly visited. Too choice - mussels, salad bowls, waffles.

    Poor logistics lead to that there was not much wine on glass left. I was having dinner and management forbid the waiter to open something decent, as I was only having a glass or two. Very customer focused NOT! After some arguments I decided to skip the main course. I will never come back.

    Well, despite a rather good quality of food, there were a lot of disadvantages. The waitress was not nice, looked a bit tired. The manager’s face was distorted when she tried to smile. It looked terrible, cause the smile disappeared a second later she looked away from us. We chose a place to sit under a big umbrella since it was raining, but she decided she’d find another table for us. It look quite a long time but in the end, two people just sat with their backs in the rain. The portions were good size, but cocktails were small for such a price.

    It was a great meal! A very nice restaurant located in the heart of the old town. The service, atmosphere and the food were all 5 stars. The interior is very beautiful and they also have outdoor patio seating which is very nice this time of the year. I would highly recommend the Belgian meatballs; they are only about €12-13 and were fantastic. They have some cheaper dishes if you wanted to have a budget 5 star dining experience but also have finer dishes such as fried octopus but it comes with a price. Highly recommend.

    Probably the best pulled ribs in town - melting in mouth👌 fast and professional service, cozy atmosphere, music not too loud. To summ up overall experience - 5⭐️ The only thing our guests were a bit surprised that the reservation was for 3 hours only. Definately would love to taste sometghing else as the kitchen deserves applauses and compliments 🏆

    It was nice experience in general. Was a lit bit confused by the behavior of manager who said everything is booked and wanted to give us a table in the middle of the restaurant in meanwhile it was only one table with a one guest. Findlay we convinced her to give us another table and while we were there nobody came for reservation. In another hand the food was amazing and the service was really friendly by the waiter. The quality of food was high level. At the end even the manager were really friendly with our kid so I will recommend the place but still put 4starts as it wasn’t nice to have such a conversation at the beginning of our visit

    Quite possibly the best BBQ ribs I have ever had. I lived in Memphis, TN USA for 20 years, which is home to one of the worlds largest BBQ cooking competitions. Cooks come from all over the world to prepare smoked meats, and these ribs are as good or better than ANY I have ever eaten. The selection of Trappist beet was also quite good, and the service was fantastic. I returned 2x for the ribs, they were so phenomenal.

    Nice place outside of Vilnius old town. Mussels were really nice. Flambee pizza snack was mediocre. What I loved the most was huge variety of beer.

  • 1/5 Pagriima 7 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    We came 21:50 to the place, as it was shown in google that they close at 23. We sat outside and nobody came, waitresses were walking around, not even “hello” was said to us. We went to check the opening hours and were told “we are closed, not many people came tonight” without any sorry or other polite excuses. Terrible service.

    Fresh, Fast, Fantastic service, great value. The staff were amazing and knowledge regarding the menu was excellent. I felt welcomed in this restaurant and the food was amazing. You can't find service this good in Vilnius. Highly recommended!

    Great selection of drinks and some of the tastiest beef I've ever had. Argentinian beef fillet, which was great on it's own (soft and juicy), but the sides and garnish turned it into an amazing composition. 10/10 I try beef in most places I visit, but it rarely stands out enough to come back for. This one does. I also tried some beers, all of which were new to me and I enjoyed trying. The staff knew their selection of drinks in great detail.

    Despite the busy time of European football cup, I've been sitted, served amazingly, fast, and polite. Great beautiful looking food. Rich selection of drinks in the bar and clean bathroom. All you need for a pleasant experience.

    Very nice experience. Lively atmosphere even on a Wednesday evening. Food was nice, lovely fries and the ribs melted in our mouths. The grilled octopus needs a touch more of the ‘grill’ taste. Nice appetisers. Lots of beer choices. Ugnė took very good care of us ❤️

    Very very nice place. We had a lunch on Saturday and it was extremely tasty.

    It’s my first time at The Brussels mussels in Vilnius, Lithuania, some of my colleagues invited us here, and let me tell you: the atmosphere is great nice place and the food is off the chain as we say in New York. Our server was Kiera’s, this guy is awesome, great personality and great service. They had us doing the Kuak tradition and it was fun. I recommend this restaurant to everyone if you are in visiting Vilnius in Lithuania.

    "The smoke is a feature, not a bug." said the restaurant manager. When we left the restaurant after our dinner, I told the tall & blond person, who I assumed was the restaurant manager, that there was a ventilation problem since the interior was completely smoky. She responded that this was not a problem, just many steaks were ordered. Meanwhile, she was opening the doors and windows to let the smoke out -in the mid of January-. lol. Food is okay but next time don’t forget to take a gas mask with you.

    We had an amazing time there last night, a superb quality place with a massive selection of Belgian beer in the fridge and on the tap which is a rare thing to find. I personally recommend taking a KWAK beer - you'll find out why. We have been looked after at the highest standard by a super knowledgeable professional Erika, who was very knowledgeable and accommodating. 5* excellent experience. Thank you

    Complete gimmick, not good food at all, not authentic, not well made, just plain. The prices are absolutely awful and do not represent the quality of food there. It’s “Belgian” for the sake of looking foreign and so that the local clients wouldn’t be able to judge the quality of food. Bad really bad.

  • 5/5 Ngan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Been there several times. Always feeling professional in service. Perfect mussels and atmosphere

  • 5/5 J L. 1 year ago on Google
    The mussels here are exquisite. Very tender and meaty. They have a large selection of beer and spirits.

  • 1/5 Vasara V. 9 months ago on Google
    Food just not worth the cost - £99.00 for 3 starters to share & 2 mains + 250ml 1 bottle of Pepsi & 1 bottle of water. Didn’t mind to pay this amount for a good quality freshly cooked food, but it was far from freshly prepped / cooked. Just going to leave it here for your consideration before you’ll visit this place. See below. Prawns starter - overcooked, tough and rubbery. Tuna tartar - tasty but nothing wow. Deep fried sliced baby calamari - tasteless, oily, with pot of mayo on the side. Grilled octopus - pre-boiled to a rubber consistency, thrown onto the grill (my guess) for a 30 seconds or so, swimming in the oily sauce amongst with under- cooked 3/4 baby potatoes & cold cherry tomatoes. Pork Ribs - just pure fat, hardly any meat on the bones. Usually, at the end of the meal, presenting a bill to a customer, the waiter/waitress out of courtesy asks “How was your meal? Did you enjoyed your food?” etc. There must’ve been a reason we weren’t even asked that question, and without making any fuss we just paid and left.

  • 5/5 Deividas B. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service and food. Belgian beer is served from tap as well as bottles. Definitely recommend to try out the waffles and mussels.

  • 1/5 Evgeniya 1 year ago on Google
    Rude restaurant manager. We booked a table for two for dinner. We were given a table with high bar stools. We asked to be seated at a normal table, which was next to free. She refused. And after 5 minutes she moved 2 other guests of the restaurant to this table. It was 21 pm and the restaurant was not full. total disrespect for restaurant customers

😐 The staff was not friendly and seemed very unprofessional. I had to wait for at least 20 minutes before I placed my order, and the restaurant was not busy at all. Had to draw attention to myself to finally place an order. The food was mediocre, not worth the money. It was not served as described...
