    This is the ultimate celebration restaurant! No, not a nightclub/party vibe, but this was a great spot to celebrate a family member’s birthday. Our small party of 4 was accommodated to very well by the servers and hosts. They were very polite and patient with us and never made us feel overwhelmed with the relatively large menu. The Belgian fries were delicious (as they are everywhere in the country) and the Vol Au Vent was a dish that certainly surprised me as being a delicious and filling choice. The chicken was cooked thoroughly and there was just enough sauce to keep the dish warm and moist. The dessert was almost as good as the meal itself too- I highly recommend the chocolate mousse! I definitely would like to come back here when I next find myself in Brussels!

    Very nice place but the anguilles au vert were under cooked and tasteless. A disappointment.

    Very good food and eventhough they told us that it would take some time, as there were lots of people, we had our food in about 15-20 minutes! Very capable and very friendly staff!

    Noisy restaurant that exploits each square foot to the max: you will enjoy zero privacy sitting 30cm close to the neighbours table. This is how making always more money decreases the final score to 2/5. Food ok but not exceptional, especially at this price tag. I disadvice this restaurant.

    I’ve been here 3 times before and the first time was for to get some drinks and there weren’t any problems such as sitting outside. Unfortunately yesterday I went there with my daughter and we just wanted to get drinks as usual so we asked them if they had any empty space in the garden but they told us that you could only sit outside to have dinner. We didn’t think much of it and we just sat inside. We weren’t hungry so we were going to order french fries, a dessert and drinks. They took so long to get our orders and when they finally came to take our orders they told us that we couldn’t get only french fries. We thought that it wasn’t fair because no one told us anything about it. We talked to the manager and overall he was just very rude and being so disrespectful. He also told us that it wasn’t a bar and we needed to eat. He had very much of an ego and he didn’t even gave us any chances to explain ourselves. After talking to him we felt really underwhelmed and left.This restaurant was so disappointing.

    Nice restaurant, but didn't cater for people with allergy. No gluten free option. Not helpful in terms of varying the menu. We were a large group. It was extremely warm. Starter was ok. Main course was average. Desert was delicious. Nice looking place, but service was poor unfortunately.

    Great place to eat. You have to try “filet americaine”, is delicious. Also irish beef was delicious.

    a very friendly and welcoming restaurant….and who even took good care of my 3 boisterous grandchildren! … good food at a reasonable price (considering today’s inflationary atmosphere), and serene atmosphere. A very enjoyable experience for a well travelled veteran who travels extensively and visits innumerable places

    Stay away, vegetarians! In the reservation form there was an option to flag that you are vegetarian- not sure why. Once there, firstly the waiter didn’t have a clue about what vegetarians can eat. then we figured out that basically the only options were omelette and boiled vegetables. The omelette was ok, it comes with salad leaves and frites - but 22€ for that was a joke, there wasn’t even any dressing. Same for the veggies (9,50 €, cauliflower and green beans) which were that bland that I couldn’t finish though I was craving vegetables. The restaurant prides itself of doing traditional Belgian cuisine which relies heavily on meat snd seafood. but I don’t think a bit of creativity to satisfy vegetarians is much to ask - many other Belgian restaurants prove it’s possible!

    Delicious food and probably the best service in town. Relaxed atmosphere, they care about their guests a lot. I enjoyed every moment there.

    Lovely outdoor setting and tasty food (my beef tartare was delicious). Only pity was that the menu was only available in French.

    Great place , too much mayonnaise but the tuna tartare but it was good :) I don’t have pictures unfortunately

  • 5/5 Kirk C. 6 years ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing, fresh, delicious vegetarian dishes. Had one of the best artichokes I've had in my life, my girlfriend had some amazing white asparagus with a buttery sauce. For dessert we shared a waffle which was so crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside - best I've ever had actually.

    Just had the best tuna steak ever and the fries are to die for. All served by super friendly staff.

  • 3/5 Bogdan V. 2 years ago on Google
    the terrace is nice, very well maintained and the service was lovely. they have the proper skills and are very kind. they even offered umbrellas since the big ones are not covering all. only 3 stars since the portions (especially fish & chips) are small and expensive. the rest is all good.

👍👍 Very nice experience in this tram reinvented as a burger restaurant. From the atmosphere around, especially if you go to a market Sunday, to the delicious food. The place seems managed by a ground of young people that delivers the burgers very nicely. They don't get stressed but seems very organised...

😠 Been turned away before because "the kitchen was closing" , it was 13.50u. Woman's tone was not friendly at all. Today, we actually managed to get in. Although they had still plenty of vacant tables outside, they told us that either we could sit inside or had a wait for one hour for an outside table...
