I especially recommend their Montblanc, tarte au citron and St Honoré. Their "cake du voyage" is also great. Unfortunately the people that serve you are not that friendly.

Oh, am I frustrated with myself for not remembering the names of the patisseries we bought from…read morehere. I can certainly describe them though as they were delectable. Again the wife and I were off on our journey to simple the various patisseries throughout Brussels. We had wanted to get a bûche de Noël around Christmas time and stopped into this patisserie to see what they offered. Although the Yule logs weren't what we were looking for we really took note of the delicious looking patisseries. We walked by numerous times prior to our visit there last week, and after grabbing a sandwich around the corner we decided it was time to finally get ourselves a couple little treats. The shark is beautiful and clean and quiet and we, after staring through the window with the prospective patisseries, decided to go with a strawberry rhubarb as well as a peach mousse. The red one with the cookie on top in the picture is obviously strawberry rhubarb, and the whiter one with the white chocolate leaf on top is the one with peach mousse. I remember it also having a tropical note to it. These were delicious. It was cleared that time had gone into them as the layers were well-defined and beautiful and the flavour of the strawberry rhubarb was very strong and a nice mixture of sweet to tart. It was my and my wife's favourite of the two, but that's not to say anything bad about the peach one. With seasonal patisseries and different varieties of cakes and tarts, you can't really go wrong if you happen to be in Châtelain to at least walk by the window and rule over these delicious patisseries. In fact you'll be better off stopping in and getting a couple.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the coffee was good, one of my favorite things is that coffee comes with a tiny cookie. Yay! It is a bit out of the center of town, but if you are planning on visiting the Horta Museum, for example, hop off the tram and stop in. It is conveniently close to the tram stop.

My friend and I got a couple of flavors, include coconut and the regular custard. These were really, really good. I'd forgotten about eating them until I saw an episode of "British Bakeoff" where they made these and when I saw some of the sad looking efforts the competitors came up with, I was immediately transported back to Forcado Pastelaria. If you are jonesing for pasteis de nata, this is your go-to place in Brussels.

You know it's good if they're there. We didn't know what to get so we ordered a ham and cheese sandwich (only 4 euros), a baguette and a napoleon and everything was under $10. What a steal. Everyone was leaving with multiple baguettes and now we know why. It was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Everything you dream about baguette to be. We were so happy we stopped by.
