I wanted some seafood for my first meal in Brussels and specifically walked over here after all the…read morereviews I read. This was a combo fish monger and restaurant in one. Large refrigerated cases faced the street with a variety of fresh fish, shellfish and premade seafood items. In the back the kitchen and food prep were visible and completed restaurant or to go orders were queued at its own counter (though staff would drop off at your table). Prices were quite reasonable comparing them to other restaurants in the more touristy streets. Also the cashier was very friendly with both locals and visitors. My favorite was the razor clams followed by the mussels and fish soup. Each was nicely seasoned and good size/ meaty for the shellfish. A separate bowl was also provided to hold all the empty shells. The WCs were located down a spiral staircase in the rear of the restaurant and was tiny. Overall a great start to my eating in Brussels.

Thank you, Mer du Nord for giving me one of my favorite meals during a recent European trip. I'm a…read moreherring lover and I got to try both pickled herring and Dutch-style cured herring (the kind that you see people dip in chopped onions and dangle by the tail and eat with their head tilted back.) I loved them both, but since I was not sure I would ever get to try the Dutch style in my life-time and despite it being a bucket list food, I was so enormously grateful. Even more grateful because it tasted amazing. I plowed through more than one I must admit. I might never get to try it again so I had to get more than one. Don't judge me. LOL. Anyway, the lady that helped me once I had one of the pickled and one of the cured ones was very patient and very kind. She seemed genuinely interested in what I thought and listened to me as I gushed like a fan boy over their products. I will never forget that and I was very appreciative. The place is pretty close to central, downtown Brussels and it was nice to just go to a table out in a courtyard and enjoy one of the favorite things I had on that trip. It was awesome.

The couscous was finer and it reminded me of a dish we had back in Paris years ago at a Tunisian restaurant.

Order at the counter, someone shouts your name. Raise your hand. Delivery!! Fast service. For as busy as it is? Super clean. Outdoor seating.

There's indoor seating with the door open as well as outdoor seating. I tried the fried cod and it was probably the best fried cod I've ever had. It was very well prepared. It was fried perfectly with an amazing crisp. The sauce was perfect with the fish and it wasn't too overpowering. The calamari was also amazing. It also went really well with the sauce and was perfectly fried. I'm not one for grilled fish. But the Pollo was really good. It still had a lot of moisture, even though it was grilled. Delicious food

The owners/mangers were so welcoming and you could tell that they love what they do. The mussels were a hearty serving and so tasty (homemade Mayo).

Their steak plate and seafood dishes that others were eating looked good as well. Indoor and outdoor seating on a nice square/plaza and slightly further down from all of the other more heavily tourists spots.

Our server was excellent, especially when compared to the service from Leffe Plaza as they ignored us.
