Great sandwiches for good prices in the heart of the Grand Place tourist zone. But almost everyone coming in was a local which is a great sign. Waiter was super friendly and the sandwich was fantastic. Line out the door but some tables inside and out. They charge a little more for eat in which I didn't really understand and most were taking the sandwiches to go. Would definitely eat here again. read more

I'd never think that a meatloaf sandwich with potato salad on it would be so delicious, it sounds more like something you make out of kitchen leftovers when you stumble home from the bar. Friends, it was delicious and wonderful! The meatloaf was firm and well seasoned and the potato salad topping just worked. The bread was perfect and all for just 7 euros! My son got the Italian and the ladies split the Cesar. The Cesar came with a different potato salad that was better than my mom's! read more

Located in a central part of Brussels near many tourist spots, this small sandwich shop is efficient. Walk inside and someone on staff will ask you for your order. They'll create it and offer it to stay (there are tables outside and a few inside) or to go. Sandwiches come on an option or a baguette or a roll. L'Italien on a baguette was refreshing and tasty! However, my wife didn't love the pate sandwich. read more

The Belgiums love their Sammy's, this spot came highly recommended, it was solid. Location was right in Alstadt, Centre, great sandwich, good price and fresh. There are a lot of sandwich shops in Brussels, but I would definitely hit this spot up, very nice after hanging @ Delirium for a few hours. read more

De Pistolei - Tuna.... - Sandwiches Near Me - Brussels, BRU

If you're looking for a lighter meal than heavy Belgian fare, the salads here are a welcome option. There was a lineup out the door when I got there of what appeared to be locals (including a bunch of police officers). It's always a good sign when locals choose a place to eat. I got a massive Niçoise salad for €9, which is inexpensive for Brussels (or much of Europe). It would easily make a tasty, satisfying takeaway lunch for two. Oddly they didn't offer takeaway cutlery, so bring a fork if you order a salad.... All the sandwiches looked good - it didn't look like you can go wrong. Solid choice for takeaway. I'd go back. read more

You can have your sandwich on a baguette bread or a pistolei. A pistolei is a round sized bread, similar to a sourdough bread bowl that American clam chowder comes in. I got their machiavelli? Not sure what it was, really but it wasn't anything special. It had a thick layer of some sort of rich orange mousse but I tasted more of the sweet pickles that it came with. It also came with pickled onions and sprouts. I would say it was "just ok" but the person who made my sandwich said this was one of the more popular sandwiches that they sold. I also had some sort of vegetable soup but it was all blended together so I really don't know what it was. It was green in color and tasted like a mixture of chicken broth wihh lentils but without that starch texture. read more

Neat sandwich spot that has a few set sandwiches but they were more than willing to assemble one for me. There are also soups and salads. I was a bit overwhelmed by the choices but managed to say "salmon and brie... and tomatoes" and my very simple but very tasty sandwich was ready. A very large portion. The bread was excellent. A proper baguette with the right crunchy crumbly outside and moist chewy inside. Yum! Not very fancy, but for an €8 sandwich including a bottle of water, I'm not complaining. They also have a number of sodas in the cooler and beers, with appropriate glassware. Toilets downstairs are... okay. read more

Highly recommend this place in this tourist area. This place is affordable and has good food. We spent 1 day in Brussel and we only walked around in tourist area. Obviously, the food near the tourist area is overpriced. We found this place using Yelp. The only opened $ restaurant in the area. I am so glad we came here. The waitress was an old day and she was super nice and friendly. My husband ordered a salmon sandwich, which is about 5-6 euro. It was filled with Salmon and had a good portion. However, we did't like the bread that much, a bit dry. I ordered mussels and it cost about 20 euro. It was a huge bowl that was enough for both of us. We ate with our hand with de-shell the mussels. It was super good, I drank all the soup as well. I really like restaurants in Europe because no tip is needed. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting in Brussel and need to have food in tourist area. read more

First meal in Belgium... CLERK: "Yes! We have beer, which one would you like?" CHUN P: "What is that Kriek Boon?" CLERK: "Uh...ah...its like Cherries? Very sweet..." CHUN P: "Oh! I'll try it" CLERK: "Ah...you know...its mostly for Girls..." CHUN P: "Oh that ok, I'm like a Girl..." My cherry beer was quite tasty and only 2 euro. 7 euro Croque Madame actually comes with two small sandwiches and a side salad, nice! Kinda plain, but good! Initially I was reluctant to eat here, but the local cops were eating here too. read more

As a standalone sandwich shop this probably deserves 4 stars as the food and service are ok and it didn't make me ill. But given this place is literally 30 seconds from Tonton Garby they should up their game If they want any stars! - baguette was worse than those I've ordered in the US. You're better off buying one at Markt. - Ham is horrible quality not worthy of the name - apples were pre-cut, soft and brown - I could go on and on... But really the baguette-type-thing that they call "baguette" is garbage-worthy. My daughter threw hers in the trash and I dinos must of mine. We only came here because I was cought surprised to find Tonton Garby es closed. :-( sadness. Good luck! read more

We really enjoyed this place for brunch. My niece and I each ordered a panini, my wife ordered a breakfast sandwich with a egg on top. All was really good and reasonably priced. The only downside was that we sat on the street and some guy was peeing (facing the street ) and then started knocking over all the scooters that were parked around. He came up to our table, but he couldn't really talk and left quickly. read more

I found De Pistolei while looking for an early morning breakfast in the city center. When we got there the only other customers we saw were local police and that seemed like a good sign for the food. We ordered sandwiches at the counter. The woman behind the counter spoke English and that was a relief for us. I had the Italian sandwich with an espresso. The sandwich was very good, the prosciutto and pesto was especially tasty and the bread was very fresh. The espresso was alright it wasn't special and it was a much bigger espresso than I was used to. I would eat at De Pistolei again for breakfast in Brussels. read more

Good sandwich stop for a reasonable price. This is located amidst many tourist traps but is definitely a good choice if you are a tourist in the area. The woman taking my order spoke great English and was happy to accommodate American tourists. This place let's you build your own sandwich (like subway) and I got a salami and cheese which was excellent! One major con: No hot sandwiches or paninis. read more

Located near the Grand Place, this place offers good quality sandwiches with fresh ingredients and good coffee. The service is very nice and professional and the prices are not that expensive, considering the location. There is usually a long queue for take out, but since they work fast and efficiently, so the wait is not that long. read more

Oh my God, these were the best pommes frites/French fries I have EVER had. Maybe because they were the first batch of the day or that they were freshly hand cut. Whatever, they were awesome. And a perfect sandwich created by the guy behind the counter. Awesome fresh bread, ham, believe it or not...hard boiled eggs, cheese, mayo and some other stuff. Just awesome. Did I mention the fries? And the whole thing was less than 10 bucks. The ambiance of the area was cool too, with all the hustle and bustle. Right near Grand Place too. Seriously, go here. read more

Decided to try this place while touring the city. Ordered the American beef tartare and the salmon sandwiches. I loved both! The kind lady working that day grabbed fresh bread from their bin (for Americans, this is amazing since all of ours are manufactured). The salmon came with a thick cream cheese and chive spread, alfalfa sprouts, and smoked salmon. The beef tartare was a beef and ketchup like mix spread on the bread with spicy pickle chips. Portions are quite large and pricing is very reasonable. read more

Went to breakfast here every single day that we were in Brussels! Nice service, way better prices than most breakfast places we found, and it was delicious. Excellent location, indoor/outdoor seating, and yummy options! It was also one of the only places open early read more

My wife and I came here for the ham & cheese baguette are definitely were not disappointed. They are SO GOOD. We visited twice in one day and then came the next day too! The workers are really nice! And we also saw police eating here. So no funny business, ok? ;) read more

Not really sure what meat tartare is, but it was a DELICIOUS!! Definitely recommend the tartare sandwich!

A simple sandwich shop next to the Central Station. They have a great assortment of hot/cold sandwiches and the service is consistently friendly. Plus the prices are more than fair! One of the better deals for lunch in this touristy part of town! read more

I guess for the price, it's good value but the food didn't amaze me. The meat loaf was very tasty but got to be a bit salty towards the end. The brusseleir sandwich was just okay. It could have been a lot better if they toast their bread but since they didn't, the bread was a little chewy. Overall it's not bad but as a tourist, I wouldn't put it on the "must try" list. read more

This is a good place with good food. The quantity on some of the items is huge. You may want to consider sharing it. There is always a to-go box you can take and make it a lunch as well. It opens early so that you can have a good breakfast and go site-seeing. They say it's a single €, but it came out to be €23 for 2 croquets and a coffee, but again, it Europe! read more

Great sandwiches at an extremely brilliant price. They're basically half a baguette with toppings. I got a "politie" with Brie, walnuts, honey, arugula and tomatoes and my fiance got one with salami, ham, cheese and lettuce and we both got drinks and together it was less than €15. It was a lot of food and it was all delicious. Also the lady at the counter was super nice and had no problem switching to English when my fiancé had no idea how to communicate in French. The place got busy but the line was very quick. There was indoor and outdoor seating and it was great. I'll be back if I can. read more
