I think this was probably the best restaurant we tried while in Brussels…read more
We were craving Italian. Specifically, my partner was craving spaghetti bolognese. I did a quick search on Yelp, found that this place had good ratings and wasn't too far away and so off we went.
When we arrived at about 8pm it was busy, so much so we were worried that we wouldn't get a seat. Fortunately they had just one table left on the upper floor. So, we got comfy, ordered a carafe of the house red and had a look at the menu.
The menu didn't feature any pizza which surprised me but, since we were both firmly in pasta moods by now, we didn't mind. Our waitress gave us a list of delicious sounding specials and, after a little deliberation, I decided to have the Rigatoni Louisa, which was all broccoli, pancetta and blue cheese. Unfortunately, they were out of spaghetti bolognese which was nearly a disaster but lasagne was on the menu so it all worked out. It was also delicious.
Everything was so perfectly cooked and the atmosphere of the restaurant was so warm and friendly, I could easily have stayed there all night. We wrapped up with coffees which were also lovely and I spent the rest of our trip wondering if we shouldn't just go back there again. If we make a return trip to Brussels, I will.
