    This is the worst Tapas bar I've ever been to!…read more My boyfriend and I ordered Paella Valencia, potatoes with aioli, mixed salad, Spanish salad and marinated spareribs. They didn't automatically give us bread while we were waiting, we had to ask for it. So we finally got our bread which was surprisingly very bad! What kind of tapas bar that serves dry sandwich-bread without oil, butter or aioli??? That's like eating sushi without soya saus! The rest of the food was pretty lame as well. The paella tasted a bit old, the potatoes were soft and cold, spareribs were just alright but the salads were pretty good though (but how hard is it to make salad)? The service was just weird and awkward! The waiters tried to ignore us, they looked annoyed every time we asked for something (such as salt and bread)! Don't waste your time here!

    We went there with a group of 5 people and it was our first time. They have their own way for…read moreordering the food that works great for single dishes but it's just to confusing for their special combos. No one explained to us how it worked. Apparently if you want the combo menus you need to ask for it in person. So some people wanted to take some tapas with the combo menu what resulted in a better price. But at the end it wasn't billed on the receipt as the combo menu. After asking if they could just bill the price of the combo menu one of the waiters became aggressive and really impolite. If you go there you won't be treated as a customer but as if you owe something to them. That's not a feeling you want to have when you pay for a service too. And the food is really pricy and not that great. It's not horrible but just not worth it. Everything seems ok-ish but at the end you are better spending 20€ at some other place where the service is way better.

    This place is right on the main square. It has a lot of character and the inside is rustic, wooden…read moreand beautiful. It is primarily Spanish oriented but with all the Belgian mainstays. The service was incredibly friendly and considerate. We were first placed at a very small table, but before ordering our server made sure we had a better place when another party left. I ordered a dark beer, forever wonderful. and the Belgian stew made with beer. It was just a fairly adequate portion and came with small slices of dark bread in it. After having some wonderful stews in Belgium this stew was disappointing. The beer chunks was very chewy with a lot of fat and grizzle. The gravy was tasteless. It came wirh fries which were good. My dining companions had the specialty of Brussels with potato, bacon and sausage. I tried some and regretted not getting it. It was far better The bread that came with the meal was ordinary. This seems to be a place that primarily attracts tourists. That's understandable knowing the location. There's both inside and outdoor seating.

    We ordered two Beers Triple Karmeliet.They tasted smooth . We also got two Belgium beef stew…read more Didn't like our stew .Too sweet for our pallet. French fries were good . They also gave us basket of bread .Akso our bag was stolen from inside the restaurant . We were all sitting together . It was an inside job . Do not come here . They never helped us . just showed us where the police station was .
