Great food but unfortunately horrible service. We were enjoying our meal and one of the workers came to our table and asked us to be quiet when the whole restaurant was extremely loud. Doesn't make any sense and was very unnecessary. So unprofessional and we did not appreciate being singled out. Go to KAMOUN (Rue de la Levure 29, 1050 lxelles). The food is better and service is amazing at Kamoun. read more

So I went there for dinner and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the grilled meat. I ordered the Barmaki brochette for 17 euros, thinking that I will need more side orders to satisfy my hunger, but the quality and serving portions were great. Sill glad that I ordered the fettouche (VERY yummy) and the spicy potato, but that meant I had too much to eat that night! If i ever make it to Brussels again, I'm definitely coming back. read more

I am really surprised this restaurant isn't more highly ranked cause this was my third time, and I consider it to the best Lebanese food I have EVER had. And it's not just the quantity of food, but also the quality of the food which is amazing and keeps me coming back as well as recommending it to both locals and visitors. Everything just tastes super fresh and authentic. Was actually introduced to this restaurant last year by a Lebanese-American colleague, and we went here for his b'day. I then went back earlier this year for another b'day party, and this 3rd time went for a farewell dinner for a work colleague. I think this place definitely shines for groups, as they make it easy to split bill (just let server know when ordering food). The best value is a mezzo tasting menu options. Like Fred P said in his review, 31 euros for the mezzo, which does not include drinks or dessert also feels expensive to me, but again, food is so good and plentiful, (make sure you come here hungry b/c there is so much food, and it keeps coming) that I don't mind the price that much. This time we all got drinks and a bottle of water for the table and between the 6 of us, we paid 35 euros each. So, onto the food: we got pickles (green chilies, capsicum, green olives, carrot medley) to start us off. But very quickly we got pita bread, falafel, tabbouleh, babganoush, hummus, Lubneh, broad beans (aka Fava beans, which Hannibal made famous), cabbage salad, sesame cream, kofta x2 kinds, with lamb, a cheese and spinach stuffed pastry and shrimp in a lovely lemon sauce. For the two vegetarians, there was a veg plate consisting of cauliflower roasted with sumac, and super creamy breaded and fried eggplant-very delish. They also got a goats cheese salad, which was really lovely. For the meat-eaters, we got a plate of tender and juicy chicken, just perfectly roasted lamb, and also just beautiful seasoned lamb kofta. For me, the standout was the baba ganoush (just perfectly smoky) and the sesame cream (silky smooth). So that's 16 plates (I hope am not forgetting anything......?) for 31 euros, which works out to €1.93 per dish, and that is a bargain! The mezzo is also a great way to taste Lebanese food, if you are a newcomer to the cuisine. I have had the baklava on a previous occasion, but we didn't order it this time, however from what I remember, it was pretty darn good. Service is nice, the servers speak English and describe the food as it comes the table, and are attentive in refilling the pita bread basket. I am giving them 5 stars, even though my Mint tea glass was like only 2/3 full (the other 2 ppl on my table who also had ordered the Mint tea, their glasses had more volume). Oh also, I don't know why, but my signal inside the restaurant was super weak. I had to go outside the restaurant, and only the was able to check into Yelp. read more

Great food and excellent staff! The place was packed for dinner and yet the wait staff was attentive, incredibly friendly and amenable - great service from the moment you walk in. The food is fantastic, the mezze are a "not-miss" and I only had the lamb and kafta as main dishes to report on (wish I had the capacity to try more!) and of course they were delicious, delectable and a definite do! Don't hesitate, just go there - it's a great location and you will leave satisfied. read more

Great food as usual, just an excellent experience overall. Ordered the mixed platter which included traditional Lebanese vegetarian mezza, lamb and bread. Finger licking good flavors, fresh ingredients, all at very reasonable prices. If you are in Grand Place area in Brussels, this is a must try. read more

Al Barmaki - Lebanese Near Me - Brussel, BRU

Another fantastic Lebanese restaurant in the heart of Brussels. Al Barmaki is more of a sit down formal experience than most of the "traiteur" style places Brussels has to offer. This is truly a wonderful night out and sit down experience with good service, great food and great atmosphere. Tip: save room for the main dishes as they are fantastic! read more

We got here kind of early for dinner and it was good that we did because the place filled up quick! The restaurant is small and it was as if everybody knew everybody else. We felt like we were at a wedding reception or something. The food was good and the service was excellent. They took the time to help us understand the menu. It definitely had very local feel but it was in the heart of the touristy area. Make a reservation or go early. read more

I visit this restaurant every year when in Brussels. The service is outstanding and the food is consistently great. The selection of meat and outstanding and the appetizers are fresh and taste great. read more

The waitstaff are friendly but not super attentive. Go for value and get the tasting menu. Lots of good vegetarian options.

Delicious, chic vibe and great hospitality. I was passing through solo for work but lots of neighborhood people arriving for dinner as I departed. read more

Great atmosphere and the stuff are very nice. We went for the introductory menu - and it was great. Tons of stuff, not everything was perfect, but some of the mezzes were simply amazing (hence the four stars). The lamb skewer, the prawns in garlic, the hummus, the baba ganoush and the cheese pies were THE BEST. Definitely worth a visit if in Brussels, also next to the Grand Place so the touristic experience is complete :-) read more

I can't comment on the food since we didn't order anything. The reason is the manipulative way of doing business, with the odd requirement of ordering minimum three dishes per person. That was a big no to us. As customer I like freedom and trust. Their restaurant didn't give me any sign of either of them. read more
