This small restaurant is in a quieter part of the European district. You're unlikely to stumble…read moreacross it unless you work nearby. It is the kind of place you hear about from a friend who himself heard about it from another friend. Traditional Belgian-French cooking with local market ingredients, they do a bargain lunch for 18E, or 21E with dessert. Last I went I enjoyed a shrimp croquette followed by grilled swordfish with golden crisp fries. There is nothing fancy here, just well executed family cooking with fresh ingredients; and all at a more than reasonable price. The 'pichet' of red and white wine were good and we were treated to a nice sparkling wine on arrival. Only downside, it can be a bit slow, plan for a 5/10 minute walk from Schuman and a good hour if you want a starter and main; you'll have to throw in an extra half hour for dessert and coffee. Overall some delightful seasonal family cooking that makes for a very different lunch experience than the more common restaurants around Schuman, albeit also a lot slower. * Good for vegetarians | parking can be difficult

Food was ok. We went for the rabbit stew on my birthday. Kind of tasted like chicken? Pork knuckle…read morehad a sweet and savory marinate. Salad was a center attraction. Lasagña was t bad either. You have to try Belgium waffles while in Belgium, obviously. Servers were friendly but forgot about a few of our dishes. We waited forever until everyone got their food. We sat outside during a rainy day but the restaurant itself seemed classic with a wooden rustic vibe.

Traditional Belgian restaurant with friendly service near Porte de Hal. I ordered the Rabbit Stew…read morein Kriek Beer (€26), which was more like two large pieces of meat cooked in stew but not actually a stew (with some fries too). The rabbit meat was surprisingly tender and the stew/sauce added some nice flavor. For those who haven't had rabbit before, it takes kind of like chicken to be honest, just with smaller bones. I think the price was okay considering the quality and type of dish. The fresh grapefruit juice (€5.80) was very good too. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and attentive. I was seated right away and the service speed was pretty quick. They have a decently sized indoor space as well as outdoor patio seating. The environment has a traditional Belgian restaurant/pub kind of vibe. Overall, Le Bistro has high quality traditional Belgian food in a pleasant setting and I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area near Porte de Hal / Marollen.

If, however, you are in a rush, this may not be the option for you. Also, calling it a Brasserie is quite an overstatement.

The guy looked at us as if we from Mars. But we are from Brussels. He asked with some arrogance and in French only if we wanted wine! He added that he could serve us in French, English or German. So we left and went to the place next door....2021, we were not very surprised that this disdain still exists in the capital of Flanders. But off we went and left the place completely empty.

I came here with my partner and his parents for dinner and we enjoyed different burgers and their spicy fish and chips- the blue cheese burger was delicious and the spice on the fish and chips were amazing. (Side note: their bbq sauce was made in house and also very good!) We didn't really get to try their beer selection and I've heard great things about their nachos, so we'll have to return! There weren't a ton of folks when we'd gone since we arrived fairly early, but it started to fill up as the evening went on. Additionally, my partner had left behind a backpack and they kept it safe for when they opened the next available day- really honest people and service! They do accept card for payment as well.
