Traditional Belgian restaurant with friendly service near Porte de Hal. I ordered the Rabbit Stew…read morein Kriek Beer (€26), which was more like two large pieces of meat cooked in stew but not actually a stew (with some fries too). The rabbit meat was surprisingly tender and the stew/sauce added some nice flavor. For those who haven't had rabbit before, it takes kind of like chicken to be honest, just with smaller bones. I think the price was okay considering the quality and type of dish. The fresh grapefruit juice (€5.80) was very good too. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and attentive. I was seated right away and the service speed was pretty quick. They have a decently sized indoor space as well as outdoor patio seating. The environment has a traditional Belgian restaurant/pub kind of vibe. Overall, Le Bistro has high quality traditional Belgian food in a pleasant setting and I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area near Porte de Hal / Marollen.

We found this place when we were looking up a place for lunch on Yelp. The restaurant was decorated…read morewith a cartoon theme. Tables and napkins were cheerful colored. Their menu has four different languages: French, Dutch, German and English. The two of us ordered the Josephine burger as we found it to be different. The patty was made with ground duck breast and served with some Foie Gras and their special pepper sauce. It was French all the way. The bun was soft and the burger was cooked perfectly medium rare. My boyfriend caught that they had a food elevator sending food from upstairs. The other food came out of the kitchen looked really good too. I would recommend to give this place a shot if you are in the area.

My wife settled on the beef stew with stoemp, I had the confit of beef chuck with a side of fries. They were both very tasty, the servings were perfect for normal appetites and the meal came with bread, and salad as well. We really enjoyed it, in retrospect I wish we had ordered a beef dish and something else, both dishes we had were excellent (the confit of beef practically fell apart with my fork) but the tastes were similar. Oh well, maybe next time. Highly recommended.

You pick out what you would like to eat and it is prepared to order (price is by weight). Once you order, walk upstairs to the dining area where you will be served. For drinks, you can order soda or water as they do not serve alcohol. We ordered salad, fries, and two entrees (see photos), along with water. Everything was delicious and the seafood was prepared perfectly (both our grilled and fried dishes). The bill came to about $60 US. The restaurant is about a 10 min walk from the grand place and hasn't been discovered by tourists. Give it a try...we highly recommend.

If you're not situated on the outdoor terrace to watch the world pass on by, then they have plenty of cozy seating inside in the form of bench tops.

Somehow glad that we were corralled into this cafe by the riot police after the clashes between Moroccan and Belgium fans following the World Cup match. It was a pleasant respite away from the chaos ensuing outside.

Even the Trappists like Rochefort 8 are only 3.80! Food is limited to quiche, sausage, and cheese, and be forewarned, they only take cash (a common phenomena in Brussels). A nice jazzy sound-track, and newspapers hanging in holders by the bar add to the appeal. But the best thing about Cafe Bebo? The large outdoor area facing Place Roupe; perfect for a sunny, or (this being Belgium after all) a non-rainy day.
