My wife settled on the beef stew with stoemp, I had the confit of beef chuck with a side of fries. They were both very tasty, the servings were perfect for normal appetites and the meal came with bread, and salad as well. We really enjoyed it, in retrospect I wish we had ordered a beef dish and something else, both dishes we had were excellent (the confit of beef practically fell apart with my fork) but the tastes were similar. Oh well, maybe next time. Highly recommended.

I got lucky and only had to wait about 10 minutes as I was a eating solo, and the other people in queue were 4+. Sat down, grabbed a Cantillon on draft, and ordered. The cheese board was fantastic. The mussells were wonderful, and the homemade sausage was unfortunately just okay. Could have done without it as it was dry and overcooked, but very much enjoyed my meal here. Would suggest eating here easily.

Sat outside and a very nice waiter assisted us with some broken English and French, but it was good enough to get an order in. Ordered the Pad Thai and Spring Rolls with a couple of local beers.

Overall, a great meal and I would go back without hesitation.

I got the cheese and salami mixed plate and my friends got muscles and beef stew. The food was pretty good and some of my friends loved their dishes. I got something simple so it was ok. What I did not like was the demeanor of the waiter. He was cordial but he could not care less. We ordered and he dropped a basket of bread on the table with some butter., which was great. But we were not sure if it was for a meal or for the table. All the menus we got were not in English so we were not sure and they didn't tell us... So once the food came we ate the bread. We assumed was for the table but would been nice to know if it really was as we were all friends and didn't wanna eat someone else's stuff like that. Also another thing, when they dropped the food they just dropped anywhere... So my food ended up in front of someone else... and we only had 3 adults so it shouldn't be that hard to know what meal goes where. He also tried to convince us to go inside to eat... even said it was about to rain... it wasn't and it did not.... He prob wanted to make it a little easier since everyone else outside was just having drinks... I get it but annoying and it seems like he checked out from there. I think that the service was the only set back here and I think it would be a very good place if the staff was a little more caring. Other than the service everything was pretty good.

FAST Food: I asked the waiter what he suggested and he said the typical meal were either the mussels or the beef stews I chose the stew. The beef was fairly tender and the sauce had a sweet taste to it, a bit small but the Penne was large and amazing, I helped finish that off. The fries were amazing and served with a mayo sauce. Atmosphere: Lots of locals and travelers enjoying themselves. Service: It was late so we closed the place down but everyone was super nice and service was excellent. Tip: it was cold so outside was out of the question but I bet it would be amazing to sit outside.

If you want to try Belgian food with reasonable prices then this was one good option in Brussels…read more I arrived early for Friday night dinner and the restaurant was just over half full with lots of available seating. While the register states No Cards one of the servers told the table next to mine not worry when they didn't have enough euros. Only a drink menu was provided and the dishes being served that day were handwritten on moveable boards or posted on the wall. I had on my list a couple to try but finally went with the Belgian carbonades à la biere which was beef stew with mashed potatoes in a dark gravy made with beer. The plate was quite generous and much appreciated since I devoured it. I enjoyed the creaminess of the potatoes swirled with gravy but the meat could've been a tad bit more tender. Service was good. I think everyone on the floor stopped by my table for one reason or the other. Ambiance was casual and looked like many people were taking their time over their meals. When finished you need head to the register to settle the tab. I paid in cash. Worth a return visit.

Decent all-vegan spot for rice and noodle bowls, and more. I got the Lin Bowl and my wife got the…read moreCrispy Chicken Bowl; we were both only moderate satisfied with our bowls. My Lin Bowl came with three super low-quality spring rolls -- nothing close to classic Vietnamese spring rolls -- vermicelli, reasonably seasoned tofu, and various crunchy veggies (no real dark greens though). My wife's bowl came with what looked and tasted like vegan chicken nuggets (seriously?), shredded veggies, edamame beans, and white rice. At €16-17 per bowl, the size was slightly small but acceptable. I can't see we were particularly impressed, but I suppose we have unrealistically high standards coming from the vegan Asian food heaven that is Vancouver.
