Nice tables and a large blackboard on the wall with their daily suggestions. The restaurant is authentic - not pretentious - a fact that made me feel at ease. The service is friendly but not impeccable: the table was not really ready when I sat down and the waitress did not bother to wipe off the table. I reached over to another table to get my napkin and a little bowl for the olive pits. Not a big deal but still no extra point for that. The food: unfortunately the bread was nothing special. The olives served were nice. I chose the parpadelle a la carbonara to test the kitchen. It's like the margarita pizza - the chef shows his talent on a simple dish. Unfortunately there was cream involved...is there anything else to say? The pasta was fine and al gente and the ingredients were good, but this was not a traditional carbonara. I enjoyed the glace a la lait d'amandes for desert.

Everything I've had there has been excellent, and it's my go-to for when visitors say they want authentic Belgian food. Their beer selection is of course great, but more surprisingly, they have a good wine list with a lot of half bottles on offer. Service is good and reasonably fast. And they are open every day! Even Sunday! Even Monday! I recommend making a reservation if you're going at peak dinner hour with more than two people. Top notch!

Nice, brasserie-like interior. Great terrace in summer. But, as mentioned in another review, a couple of sound-dampening panels would do wonders. The level of noise is really spoiling the experience somewhat. The menu should be a bit more interesting, I think. It's limited. Canneloni are good, but portions are small. Waterzooi was a good portion, looked nice, but was drowning in cream, and the chicken contained way to much cartilage and skin to be appetising. Not good. The dessert are too expensive for what they are, but one the meringue/raspberry dessert was actually quite nice. It's really too bad: with a couple of tweaks, this could be a great place to go to, but now I'm reluctant to recommend it to friends.

We went with 3 people for business dinner. It took ages for the waiters to come, get our orders, bring drinks, bring receipt etc. What was more annoying was the quality of the food. We shared an entrecôte for 65 €, the quality of the meat was really poor, dry, no taste. Saucé bernais from the groceries.

Fortunately he spoke some French, because the owner/waiter didn't speak any English. The menu was about 8-12 things written on chalkboards and the entire place had a very hole-in-the-wall feel. I got the pappardelle with mushrooms, bacon and blueberries, which was quite good and different. I wouldn't have thought to pair blueberries there and while it didn't blow me away, it was really good and different. The mozzarella with vegetables appetizer we shared was also quite yummy.
