We were here to have dinner with colleagues. It was organised by someone else so we had no say…read morewhere we were going to eat. In retrospect that was an error. The wine was ok, just ok for a wine shop which this place also is in business as, you'd expect good or even great wine. As they'd happily sell you the wines that made your bits tingle. Sadly the wines they served were mostly of the variety where I would be forced to hold my noise to be able to swallow. Yes I'm not a fan of whites or anything other than reds. But come on now! It was €50 a head. For that €50 you got a nibble of food, a thimble of wine, and limitless bread that wasn't the freshest yesterday never mind today... Now being a vegetarian guess what my scraps of food were? Raw vegetables! Though I did luck out when they brought a dipping sauce... made of fish! Vegetarians do not eat fish! If I was in New York I'd be a hipster having the time of my life. But I'm a fat hungry guy in a city known for it's great food! Disappointed? Very much so! There was finally a good thimble of wine to cap off the disappointing menu. So good that I bought a few bottles. I'm very much tempted to drink them to erase the memory of dining here.

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.

The person on the other side of the phone was as friendly as a prison cell. Once arrived, service was as sznsed on the phone. Quality and price of the food were ridiculous..

Well, we also noticed they serve sandwichs. After the sandwich spot we were going to go to only accepted cash, and we didn't have any, we decided to walk a bit outta our way and finally try the sandwichs here. We were both excited to try the rillette de canard, and that's what we did. I got the rillette de canard with a black olive tapenade, and sundried tomatoes on olive bread. The wife got something very similar, without the tapenade and instead with olive oil and no sundried tomatoes. We went with the meal deal for 8.5€, which also got us the most amazing meat empanada I've ever tasted. We had lunch there pretty early, I think we were her first customers of the day and therefore the empanadas were still slightly warm. The meal deal also came with a soft or a water of your choice. The sandwiches were amazing and for the price with the internet and the meal deal it's really hard to beat for such a great sandwich. We will undoubtedly come back and try their wine and tapas. So all in all, if you're looking for a sandwich made with amazing ingredients come here...you won't regret it.

The place is not cheap, but to keep in mind for a special occasion. The offered glass at the end (my friends took champagne, me a very good cognac) was very very appreciated and a real exception in Brussels!

The two gentlemen that run this establishment have a great passion for wine and food. It really shows in the time they take with each customer. They made great selections and had us try each to make sure we liked the wine. And of course we did. On this last visit, we started with a mix plate of cheeses and chorizo. Then moved on to fresh oysters and razor clams. The sauce on the clams was so good, we ate it up with a spoon. For our mains, we had suckling pig, steak and duck. All amazing and a wine pairing with each course. Prices are very reasonable for such delicious food and wine. This beautiful venue is a must try. And who doesn't love a good wine cave.
