The Finnish stew was a little tough and the sauce was quite sweet. The mussels in white wine sauce was light and a little too pungent for us. I wish we liked the Belgian favorites a little more. The Belgian beer paired well with the dishes. Service was also great. The place is small so get there early.

But they do their best to seat as many people as possible. I got in fairly quickly because i was alone. The food was fantastic. I had the Carbonade a la Biere, and it was so great! Like a beef stew and very tasty. Also had some good Belgian beer. Service was attentive and very fast. The restaurant is lively and exciting - not really a quiet romantic dinner. But a lot of fun!

If you want to try Belgian food with reasonable prices then this was one good option in Brussels…read more I arrived early for Friday night dinner and the restaurant was just over half full with lots of available seating. While the register states No Cards one of the servers told the table next to mine not worry when they didn't have enough euros. Only a drink menu was provided and the dishes being served that day were handwritten on moveable boards or posted on the wall. I had on my list a couple to try but finally went with the Belgian carbonades à la biere which was beef stew with mashed potatoes in a dark gravy made with beer. The plate was quite generous and much appreciated since I devoured it. I enjoyed the creaminess of the potatoes swirled with gravy but the meat could've been a tad bit more tender. Service was good. I think everyone on the floor stopped by my table for one reason or the other. Ambiance was casual and looked like many people were taking their time over their meals. When finished you need head to the register to settle the tab. I paid in cash. Worth a return visit.

A special of white asperigus I had never had before was served as an appetizer with drawn butter, bred and special flemish sauce. For an entree I enjoued skewers of scampi and scallops over perfectly cooked pasta with olive oil and sprigs of veg. I was so full I skipped desert but the crem brulet looked devine. Instead I concluded with a coffee and baileys. Highly reccomend for the traveler near Brussels Airport who looks for a reasonably priced decerning meal with great wine and Belgium Beer!!

Found this restaurant close by, and it was a terrific choice. Great fresh and creatively prepared seafood. They offered a special with white asparagus prepared Flemish style. It was spectacular. No rush environment and clearly able to handle a number of languages. If you're staying anywhere around the Brussels Airport, we recommend it highly.

Last week we held a large family gathering there, including 7 very young children and, thanks to the very professional staff, it all went very smoothly without a hitch.

I ordered the Belgian meatballs and my husband ordered the burger. The meatballs were delicious and…read morethe tomato sauce on them was incredible. I dipped my frites into the sauce and pretty much cleaned my plate, it was so good! My husband loved the burger and said that it was both delicious and filling. We both loved our food and thought the atmosphere was to die for. We were staring in the Grand Place as we ate our lunch. One of the owners visited with many people around us and seemed very friendly. We only had a few interactions with him, but thought he seemed very kind and happy that people chose his business. It was clean, delicious and really good service. Most seating is outside and in a small alley, so you will have many people walking past you as you eat, but that's Europe! :)

Spaghetti bolo for breakfast? Hell yeah!…read more After a morning jaunt through the flea market where I snatched up a fab porcelain pastry plate for 2E, my local host suggested a mid-morning snack at this 100% authentic Belgian café. As soon as we walked through the door my heart started to flutter. The wood paneled restaurant with its large central Zinc bar, gruff but friendly waiters, formica table tops with little napkin dispensers looks like it hasn't budged in 50 years. In a word: adorable! After examining the menu thoroughly I settled on the house specialty of spaghetti bolo and a café russe to wash it all down. An incongruous blend, I know, but hey, in a 24hr Belgian diner anything goes. Needless to say the bolo was like nothing I've ever had. Served over slightly overcooked vermicelli and topped with grated gruyere, the peppery, chunky bolognaise sauce had a regressive, quirky, heartiness to it that made the whole dish super fun to eat. If I lived in BXL I could see La Clef d'Or becomming a regular post flea market spot.
