A great authentic Belgian meal while you're in Brussels! This restaurant has been around for a…read morelong time, is always packed, often with a lineup outside. But they do their best to seat as many people as possible. I got in fairly quickly because i was alone. The food was fantastic. I had the Carbonade a la Biere, and it was so great! Like a beef stew and very tasty. Also had some good Belgian beer. Service was attentive and very fast. The restaurant is lively and exciting - not really a quiet romantic dinner. But a lot of fun!

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.

Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. If you have 3 hours (no joke) for dinner, then this…read moreis the place for you. Food wasn't worth the wait either. Not sure what was happening but we waited over an hour in our seats eating bread. When the food finally arrived, It was rather bland and overcooked. The dessert was mediocre. Not worth the $$$ even as a prefix 44 euro for 3 courses. Skip it and find another place. This was a letdown.

The reviews are legit! I had been to some good restaurants away from City Center, but I was…read moresurprised to see the good reviews of this place so close to The Square. When I arrived I found an impressive menu of food and drink that I did not expect. They had Westmalle beer, and that was a great start. Ricardo the host/proprietor/waiter is originally from Columbia and we worked through some broker Spanish (on my part) to order an impressive array of Wild Shrimp Croquettes, Chorizo and (I think) Radish Homemade Ravioli, House Cut Steaks w/Belgium Frittes, and Beef Cheeks in Gravy. Very high quality food for this area, in a very friendly atmosphere. I think it was Anna (the chef) who came out and she was very sweet. I could see great care was taken in the preparation. I highly recommend this place when in the center of Brussels. The yelps were on point with this one.

The food was outstanding, one of the best meals I've had all week in Brussels. I had the sole and it was delicious. The sauces and veggies were great and large portions! I was stuffed. My girlfriend got the salmon pasta with sun dried tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, it was also delicious!! Very impressed. The atmosphere is romantic, although I went with my girlfriend and it was still fine! The service was great, the waiter was very friendly and helped us with the menu. Highly recommended!

I am often asked how do I find the places I go....there are several ways. One of them led us to…read moreD'Artagnan and we were not disappointed. We had originally headed to the local family-run Bar Frape but were distressed to find it shuttered. Perhaps because they closed at 2000 and we were there shortly thereafter. Looking south along the river we spotted tables and chairs on the sidewalk so we headed in that direction. What we found was a trendy (and empty) bar that was obviously serving up what we were NOT looking for. That's when we spotted across the street what appeared to be a Eetcafe but upon further inspection found a joint billing itself as a Grand Cafe. Now, typically we steer away from Grand Cafes since our desire to impress is less than at times it should be. We have found Grand Cafes to not have any better food than Eetcafes and usually at twice the price. However, we decided to go outside our box and give it a try....and we are glad we did. Inside the D'Artagnan resembled more an Eetcafe than a Grand. While there was much more spit and polish than most Eets the atmosphere was that warm, comfy gezellig the Dutch are so wild about. We were looking for refreshment and a snack and ended up finding our favorite Dutch gin (2VC) which right then and there told us we were putting the rest of our evening on hold. We ordered the bouillabaisse and the anti pasta. Both excellent choices and between the both of us we could not finish. The bouillabaisse contained succulent portions of langostinos in a delicate seafood/tomato broth. The cheese bread on top was less a compliment than what was intended but good nonetheless. The anti pasta included ham, proscuitto, salami and pepperoni. Plus bread, olives, salad and scrumptious garlic mushrooms. With the exception of the pepperoni which was mealy, it was a great sampler. If you are not familiar with gezellig (gezelligheid) then you need to look it up or better, hang out here for an hour.... We will return.

This place came up, but all the reviews were written in French, so I had a hunch that staff probably doesn't speak English. We put on a brave face and went. The first waiter didn't speak any English at all, but while we were lingering by the door and another waiter came by. He said he spoke a little English. He was very kind and accommodating. We tried to use Google Translate app, but didn't help much. But we got through. The foods were pretty good, and best of all, no tourists (even though we were tourists as well). We sat outside, so you hear the street noise, but that's about it. Good food, good wait staff, and good atmosphere. Whole 5/5 from me.
