On this warm spring day, the windows and doors were wide open. Creating a welcoming atmosphere that invited in two wearily shoppings in need of a cold beer. We were warmly greeted by the hostess & served two cold glasses of Jupiler. She was relaxed & trusting enough to leave us alone whilst she carried on a conversation outside. We just this time to admire the lovely decor. One could spend the entire visit studying the wonderful photos. Alas we had more shopping to do, thus we headed out after finishing our refreshing beers.

It is a very traditional belgian restaurant in Woluwe Saint Lambert. If you are looking for calm…read moreand a cosy place, this is a very nice option. Ideal also to escape from the noisy Brussels city center or the routine of always going to the same area. There is not too much room so if you want to get a table it's important to reserve in advance, mainly in weekends. I got Pavé de boeuf with mushroom sauce (l'Archiduc) and french fries. It was delicious!!! When you ask medium for your steak, they really cook it medium so my steak was as I wanted. The sauce comes in a little glass so it could be served by yourself on the french fries or steak or both. Waiters are very professional and sympas. It seemed a traditional family business. I do recommend this place if you are looking for some traditional belgian food and calm from the city center in Brussels.

The service was attentive, but not overbearing, the food was simple but extremely fresh and delicious, and very reasonable. I've had mussels many many times, but these were different: they tasted fresh right out of the sea, plump, meaty and wonderful. Even the anchovies on my wife's salad - not normally a favorite - were out of this world. A very reasonably priced bottle of wine washed it all down. Would definitely come here again!

The atmosphere here is amazing, and the staff is pretty nice as well. It's a great spot to lounge during the summer and I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Brussels! It only loses a star because there is a weird bathroom that costs 50 cents to use. If you are spending money on drinks, you shouldn't have to pay to use the restroom...am I right?

Checked with Yelp and thanks to Yelpers for confirming our choice. Ambiance was warm and welcoming. Server was very friendly and helped recommend some dishes. We ordered the *Steamed Clams: cooked in diced onions and celery, it tasted so fresh and sauce/soup was pure and simple not altered with tomatoes nor strong herbs. Wished we had bread to sop it up instead of fries. Don't understand how mussels pair up well with fries. But I guess that's the Belgian style. *Belgian Meatballs served in tomato sauce: this dish is familiar almost like Italian meatballs less the spaghetti. It is very good but some pasta would be nice. *Filet de Tilapia Gratiné, Epinards at Pommes au Four: this is from the Plat du Jour (Special of the Day). Dish is light served with baby potatoes and spinach.

The vegan burger looked great to start with a nice mushroom and onion sauce but inside was a fully pink beyond meat puck. I just took the patty out and ate the bun with mushroom sauce. Fries were good with multiple sauces (only 'ketjep is vegan). Service was typical European pace. Overall feels like this place could be solid if they just put in a little more effort.

Another Belgium place I got to try for some Belgian food…read more We couldn't decide what to order and ended up getting 3 entrees, which was way too much because the portions were so big. We ordered the beef stew, pork knuckle, and rabbit stew. Everything was delicious! And everything came with potatoes! We sat outside and had to put our drinks on the floor (all good!). Staff was very nice. Good thing we came right when they opened. After we were seated a line started forming.

He reminded us of a combination of Neil Fak (from The Bear) and Lazlow (from What We Do in the Shadows). He was coordinating the line, seating, and gave outstanding recommendations, as well as praise, when we picked our wine. We were quoted about 45 minutes to wait, as they don't take reservations. A two-top opened up inside and Julian was concerned that it would be too hot, so he made me go inside to check first. Thankfully, it was right by the open area leading to outside, so we took it and were seated in about 20 minutes, rather than 45. The place was packed the entire time we were there; its reputation certainly precedes it. Good energy and beautifully decorated with stunning art inside. Carbonades a la Biere (beef stew; 19.45 Euros) is their speciality and was delicious! So reasonably priced for the flavor and te size of the dish! After Julian mentioned that the lamb is the best dish on the menu, there was no question that I was ordering it. Jarret d'Agneau Roti (Roasted Lamb Shank; 27.35 Euros) was so very good! Full of Rosemary and so tender! As Julian was running by, I quickly asked him: "Tiramisu or Tarte Tatin?" No hesitation, he replied, "Tarte Tatin." I wasn't sure if he actually put the order in for us or not, but then it arrived at our table and it was delicious! Pear Tarte (8.65 Euros) with a side of ice cream. Not too sweet, with lovely spices in the pears. Cash only, always a line, but totally worth it!

The service is quite alright too. The kitchen is pretty much in line with the usual offerings of brasserie like places in town and nothing special really. The fish and chips is a safe choice, pretty tasty, large portions and the fries are its strong point : typical belgian fries, thick and fried exactly the right amount of time. We once ordered a lasagna which was poor: loads of cheese and sauce, hardly any lasagna or minced meat in there. The biggest plus is that most of the time they have place and the overall noise and food smell is limited which is pleasant for a conversation. Overall a bit pricy in my view.
