- Price/Quality: The weight of your plate, filled with delicacies from the wide buffet, will determine the price. You'll get 25% reduction if you take it away in a box. That's what we did so we paid each around 13 euros for a small but satisfying portion of quality-lunch. Every normal weekday evening you can eat 'all you can eat' for 22,90 euros. So in short, it's not cheap but well damn worth the price. - Health: The mix of Mediterranean and middle-eastern way of cooking makes it pretty healthy, aside from some cheeses and yummy deserts. - Pleasure: It was hard to not create chaos with all the great foods on my plate. With many of my choices I was upset I didn't take more of it, like for example that magnificent pumpkin or stuff I didn't even know what they were made enough. Was it lentils or nuts or whatever, omg it was good. - Quantity: I would have liked to have more of El Turco, that's why I'm definitely planning an 'all you can eat' dinner soon. - Variety: Yes, veggies, spreads like hummus etc, fish, lamb, chicken, fruit, dessert, just name good stuff, it's there. Update: I did the 'all you can eat' finally, it confirmed my suspicion this place is quite awesome. read more

See all

El Turco - Nice Coffee Bartender - Buffets Near Me - Ixelles, BRU

I really love restaurants that offer a good vegetarian range, and that can be particularly tricky to find in Belgium. Although they do offer hot meats (including lamb kofta and grilled chicken), the whole cold buffet is veggie with a real range of flavours: delicious hummus, vinegary marinated peppers, and bread with baked-in feta. It can be more expensive here than a lunchtime steak frites nearby, and the queue can be long at lunchtime. The staff are very friendly and helpful, though, helping you find a table in the busy restaurant and keeping the buffet well-stocked. There's also no sense of being rushed, as you can order a hot drink (fresh mint tea is lovely!) at your table once you're done. I'd recommend this casual place for a lunch/early dinner with friends, and when the weather is nice, it can be pleasant to sit out in the square behind the restaurant. read more

El Turco - Takeout showing the variety of dips and veg (also a lot more underneath!). - Buffets Near Me - Ixelles, BRU

This is a TRUE PARADISE for your senses! I personally liked it so much that I cannot find the right words to describe it but I'll try The place has 2 entrances : place de Londres and rue du Trône, when you step into it the ambience is really cozy and comfy. Nice wooden chairs and table, an inner courtyard featuring stones, and soft light lamps complete the warm atmosphere. All the staff is Turkish as the name of the place easily suggests, these guys are super friendly, kind and helpful which adds up to make a good impression (let's not forget that a client-oriented attitude is key to a successful business). And now let's go straight to FOOOOD : just AMAZING! Wide choice of starters, vegetables, savory appetizers, warm and cold dishes, fruits, desserts and a good choice of drinks including wine. And the best part of all this which makes this spot even cooler are the 2 way of eating options : either you place food in your dish and then pay according to the weight or you pay a fixed amount (around 22 euros) for an all-you-can-eat formula. I could not help but going for the latter since I am a real foodie and I wanted to taste as much food as possible till exploding ( and that's what I did)! Alternatively , you can also opt for a take-away formula when u want to enjoy food at home. To me the whole experience was a journey through my senses, everything was so delicious, freshly-made, genuine and copious. I could eat there every single day. Plus I am Italian, so you can really trust me when it comes to food :-)). Just make sure you try this place and you won't be disappointed. I hope the staff working there will read this review because it comes from my heart and it is fully deserved. read more

El Turco - Ok, maybe I took too much... - Buffets Near Me - Ixelles, BRU

Mediterranean an Turkish buffet style with a huge variety of salads, fresh vegetables, hummus, feta cheese, bread... With a BBQ part at the end were they cook fish and meat. Everything is very nice and heathy! After you choose all the food you would pay the bill by weight. The service is nice and the terrace in London Square is very pleasant in a sunny day but sometimes very busy. read more

A lovely little place quick service and nice staff. Looking forward to going back again soon. Thank you for such a wonderful meal.

I love El Turco! It's my go-to place when I want to eat out on the healthier side. Food selection is always amazing, everything is tasty. The restaurant has a nice terrasse. If you want to book a table, you'll have to take the all-you-can-eat option (25€), you won't be able to pay per 100g. read more

Lovely place. Buffet. Orders are placed inside. Huge waiting line to place order  at lunch on sunny day. Humus, eggplant salad and other specialties are delicious. Bill €25/kg of food. Excellent price quality! read more

This place is amazing. I get take out from there almost every week. Cherry on the cake, the service is extremely friendly! These guys are awesome! read more

Best Turkish restaurant in Brussels. Period. Don't go to shitty Doner/Kebap places, they ain't authentic. Go to El Turco and indulge yourself into great Aegean & Mediterranean dishes. read more

Excellent quality. Perhaps a bit pricy (you weight your plate and pay accordingly) but the variety of foods, the quality and freshness is outstanding. No surprise it is always packed and there is always a queue at the till. The BBQ part is terrific too. I had (at different times) salmon, mini keftas or beef fillet and they were all of the best quality. The staff is friendly and young too. In the area you find a lot of competition (it's really close to Saint Boniface) but there guys really set the bar high. read more

Excellent food, combining Mediterranean and oriental flavours. Vegetables and salads are always fresh and there is a wide variety if meat and fish. Service is great read more

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Brussels. The food is amazing, it's not expensive and the place is ideally situated. The only problem for me is that it's closed on Sundays when you feel like Turkish food to help cure a hangover, also the wine is not that good. Other than that, everything is superb! read more

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!! The location is great (a few minutes' walk from Trone metro station), the restaurant design is clean and simple, the staff are attentive and helpful, the food is beyond excellent (a vegetarian's paradise!!!)--you get mostly cold food and a reasonable amount of warm as well. Food is buffet style, which I love because I like having bunches of different foods at once, to try different flavors and combinations. Food type is middle eastern/mediterranean mezze, so also VERY healthy! Bar is stocked with a number of different beers, liquors and wines. I also like that you pay by weight--first you choose all the food you would like, then weigh it and you pay per kg, if I remember correctly (I didn't pay this time so I wasn't as attentive to the price as when it comes from my own pocket) or you could reserve and have an all-you-can-eat buffet for around 30 EUR (best to reserve ahead of time as I don't know how flexible they are if you come in and decide to have the buffet and plus on weekends the place gets packed!)... All in all, you must try this healthy AND delicious place (not too often you get both in the same place!) GO NOW!! read more

Excellent food. Many vegetarian and vegan options. Nice long buffet. My plate was full before I got halfway. However it's pricey. My plate alone cost me €22 and it was just a bunch of well cooked vegetables. I guess not a place to really pack your plate. read more

Good salads, large choice of options, but outrageously expensive, especially for water (frankly unacceptable). Despite the quality of the food, one cannot help thinking it's a rip-off. read more

Been there the other day. Found it rather expansive and not really good. It.s big and not really friendly.My friend took a burger which was huge but not tasty. I guess it is just another restaurant which opened to make money with the terrace in the summer and that's it. Very impersonal and cold. I would rather advise to pick another place read more
