Cute cozy restaurant with a great menu selection. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant and some spots designated for customers dining at the restaurant. My friend enjoyed the variety of beers they had to offer. Food was delicious. The tasting sampler of the mussels was a hit. We dined the day after New Year for dinner and unfortunately service was slow. There were a good amount of customers dining but not sure if maybe they were short staffed. The staff there were friendly though. We were too full from the bread, mussels, and our entrees that we didn't have enough space in our stomachs to try the dessert. I would like to come back again to try their dessert and also their lunch menu.

This place is amazing. This is the best pub I have ever been to in my life. It has all the Belgian beers that I've never had before and I highly recommend if you are in Houston that you come here and nowhere else. The staff is very friendly and look for Adrian he will take care of you!

Proof of how good this soup was: I took the first sip and completely forgot to take the picture until the bowl was empty!

"What a gem! The French-Belgian fusion here is executed to perfection. I ordered the mussels in mixed sauces, and the variety of flavors was incredible; you can really taste the freshness and the authentic touch. But the real star was the onion soup--simply out of this world. Perfectly balanced with a rich broth and beautifully melted cheese. Definitely a place to visit again and again. 10/10!"

Salmon salad
Yara C.

This is one of my top favorite restaurants in Houston. The service is good. The food is consistent and delicious. The vibe is great too- instead of filling every space with a TV screen, the walls are decorated with Belgian signs and pop art, clocks and handbags, and beer logos. This place has an excellent selection of Belgian beers, unlike any other in Houston. I really recommend the mussels. There are several broth options. They're all good. But my go to is the white wine broth. Simple, savory, consistent, and so good. The salmon salad is also great, with a delicious tangy dressing and a generous portion of fish. I also recommend any of the croques. (Sandwiches)

Chicken curry plate from the specials menu
Crescida J.

Note that parking is in the rear of this business. Went on a weekend for lunch, but the menu had so many great options that we decided to try escargots (deliciously buttery), spaghetti Bolognese (the kids' portion was PLENTY), and the chicken curry plate with extra spice. Not only was the food incredible, the service was outstanding! This place is lovely and intimate but one of those mom & pop type places where decor is everywhere (there are a bunch of purses on a hook in the bathroom) because it feels like grandma's house.

I love the different food varieties in here!! And their croquettes are so delicious with all the nice male servers :) The environment of the restaurant seems so specific to the culture which is always appreciative!

Le chic poulet with fries
Juncel A.

I had been wanting to try this local cafe after seeing all the reviews on yelp. As a first ward resident myself, I was excited to support this business. Love me a good local neighborhood spot! Came here during lunch with my wife and 4 month old. There is parking behind the building that shares with other businesses, but it is plentiful. We walked in and got sat right away - we did go on a slow weekday. Place is pretty casual and laid back with a lot of Belgian decor all over. We ordered off of their lunch menu but got mussels for appetizers. They are known for the mussels, so we had to get it. They offer a lot of different styles of mussels but we opted for their Moules à l'Escargot which is mussels in this delicious butter garlic sauce. I got the Le Chic Poulet (chicken sandwich with veggies), and my wife got the Le Thon (tuna sandwich). The lunch special comes with either fries or soup of the day - I got fries and my wife got the soup which was carrot soup that day. The mussels were delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal. The sandwiches were both ok although I did like the chicken better. Fries were good and carrot soup were ok. Portions are decent sized. Overall I liked my visit here. I will definitely be back for the mussels, but also to try other things on their menu. The sandwiches were just ok, but quite frankly I'll be fine with just their mussels, some bread and maybe a beer!

The Catherine mussel sampler with fries

We've come here for a few years, I always get the mussels. They are delicious and the service is good.

Happened to see this spot when I was cruising down the road and so I had to stop in today. I'm a HUGE fan of Belgian beer and this place had all the good ones. Their beer menu is filled with all the classic icons. Their food was decent but their beer is really where it's at. The place was a hit out-dated but the service was really excellent. Only reason why it's not a 5-star is because their food prices are kind on the high end for a spot like this. Definitely go for the drinks though. Highly recommend.

Mussels in Garlic Butter Sauce
Ann G.

I went here for lunch with my friend and I highly recommend this place! The staff were very friendly and their food was great! I ordered the lobster sandwich and mushroom soup lunch deal and both were delicious. We ordered the mussels for the table and it was delicious as well. I highly recommend getting their mussels because it was cooked well and flavor was good. They have free parking at the back of the restaurant so no need to park on the street.

This is our second visit, the first was years ago. It doesn't seem that much has changed. It feels bar/pub like with lots of dark wood but still family friendly. The service is fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. The waitress was super sweet and helpful when my daughter sloshed some of her beverage. And the food is why we remembered this place and came back. The mussels are outstanding with so many preparations to choose from. The fries and homemade mayonnaise are perfection. My husband opted for the steak tartar this time. He said the meat was ground a bit more finely than his preference but it tasted fabulous. We were too full for dessert but shared profiteroles anyway, which were delicious.

Steak and eggs!
Christina W.

Came for brunch today! The music, mimosas and food were great. I got the steak and eggs which came with a salad, fried and homemade mayo. The German in me was in heaven. They had a lovely little music act going on which was the perfect noice level. I can't wait to go back for dinner and try the mussels and French onion soup which looked amazing!

The beer is delightful and the metal water cups keep you drink COLD.

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

The strawberry mousse cake was frozen solid, so I was not able to eat it right away but it was a lovely mousse with jelly fruit filling and a thick chocolate crust. Also got a bag of chocolates, which are weighed by the pound. The only qualm I have is that the chocolates are not labeled, so when you mix them all together, it truly is a bit of a Russian roulette on what you'll get. Everything was super yummy. Will definitely need to be back!

This is not a place you go to just have lunch or something.This place is an experience. Some adults might find joy in here (like I do), but my children definitely did, and that's worth it. They came here with the same excitement that they had for disneyland so I'm really happy about that. We all liked the harry potter experience and some different anime type experiences as well that my children liked. The foods and drinks are on theme and although it's not cheap, it's definitely not as much as Disneyland. We came on the weekends, but during lunchtime, and I can see how they might be really busy during the dinner rush. Sometimes you might need a timed entry to go in, but thankfully, we have not since we've been going. I will say that it's quite small and gets cramped really fast.

I ended up paying for fast passes (they do release free fast passes, but those get scooped up quickly, and I was able to pay $3 per ticket on eventbrite to snag fast passes). Our pass was for 1pm and we were inside by 1:10pm. They do reserve the tables initially for the fast passes, at least when we came in at our time and it was great because I couldn't imagine being here without a table since I had a group of little ones with me! The staff were super friendly and worked as quickly as they could. There was a little bit of stress because of volume of orders and people, but they did the best they could and handled the traffic well. We got a variety of drinks and each enjoyed them-- I will say, all of the drinks are on the sweeter side, but definitely standard for kids. We literally got one of everything on the menu and I wasn't able to grab photos before the kids enjoyed them, but that's the whole point! The add ons can become pricey, but for the enjoyment of your little ones, it's definitely worth it! For food, we got the Derpy spam rice, ramen and grilled cheese. The kids all really enjoyed it and definitely wanted to come back for the next pop up themed cafe!

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.
