I'm a big fan of this place. It's a cafe by day and a bar by night. Not that you can't get…read morealcoholic beverages in the daytime. Actually, now that I'm writing this, I don't think I've ever seen anybody with coffee at their table or in hand in the daytime or nighttime... Huh. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and many will sit indoors and go outside for a smoke every now and then. At night, most of the tables and chairs are stacked together to make room for the bar area and some open space for dancing, if you so please. It gets surprisingly crowded for what is normally a cafe (by day, anyway), so it's pretty cool to watch the transition. While the cleanup could get better, the bartenders are always friendly and on top of their game. Patrons are also pretty cool--many of them are tourists like myself, which makes it an all the more interesting place to observe social interactions (because I'm awkward like that). Also, I don't know who controls the music, but I sure hope he/she keeps it up! Oh, and the bartender with the short blond hair makes a mean Pimm's Cup!

This place for me is the quintessential café. Everything is…read morewell prepared, from an esspresso to a latte, draft beers, sandwiches, even something simple like a croque monsieur takes another dimension at Café Belga. Another great thing about this café is that both the terrace and inside are great, but ALWAYS packed so you might need to display a bit of patience. I very warmly recommend it!

I would not recommend this cafeteria at all. The quality of the coffee is pretty bad, the cakes are…read moreindustrial and from the frozen and not tasty at all. And the worse, a cafeteria without coffee spoons! The girl told me that they had not at all and I had to eat my cake with a huge soup spoon! Unbelievable but true, even I was not sure if they serve soups at all in this dirty place. I cannot recommend it, even the coffee of the not so far McDonalds was far beyond much better.

This Vapiano place got really tasty pastas. I ordered Bolognese from different place but it didn't…read moretaste good, so I ordered from Vapiano and the difference was OMG. Definitely going to order here again and ps this place is for those who truly love Italian pasta.

Bottom Line - Really affordable, good pasta and pizzas (especially for the price), great for large…read moregroups and overall good atmosphere. I'd come back. So here's the deal: I don't usually write reviews for chain restaurants; however, I feel that the quality of Vapiano, for what it is, is pretty good. I understand why lunch and dinner times (even during mid-week) are busy times. You don't get waiter service, but that's okay with me. This restaurant is set up in a cafeteria-style. When you arrive, you get an electronic tap card and go to various stations to get the food you want (salad, pizza, pasta, dessert/bar). The food is then prepared when you order at the counter, and you tap the card so it records your tab. When you leave, they scan the card and you pay for everything you ordered. I think the atmosphere is pretty good and can be intimate if needed, but also good for a group of friends.

Why can't I find this bistro on Yelp? This is in the category "Belgian bistro with a youthful…read moretwist". You don't assign Michelin stars to this place. You come here when you want to eat cool home style Belgian food ,,, and it's fun. Not pretentious. Fun. Always good cuts of meat prepared right. The frites are done right. The wine suggestions match. The youthful staff is cool, laid back, attentive. (Notice I don't use superlatives here. " Good" is a virtue unto itself!) In short this place deserves your patronage. Ps. Ask explicitly for the Speculos Ice cream Sundae for dessert. Not in the menu but a classic in the making.
