I went on a Wednesday night and there was plenty of seating. The bartender was a cool. The atmosphere was just what you needed after a day of work or traveling in my case. Minus a star because there was a man there that was rude and very much so drunk. Touching people spilling drinks on people. He should've been kicked out long before we arrived.

There's almost nowhere to sit, so it was a little hard to hang out and get comfortable in there…read more Something is not quite right about the layout. I did like the cocktails, though, and remember that in Brussels it's hard to find cool cocktails. Definitely worth checking out.

BIG DENSE CHUNKS OF FISH fried perfectly.. not greasy, full of flavor. My husband who normally does not like restaurant Burgers was very impressed by the quality and taste. Not like other restaurants whose F&C and Burgers are dripping wet and greasy... We will definitely be back. Right by the train station..a great restaurant with good food and prices

I came to this restaurant thinking that it would be some type of American restaurant but their food…read morewas telling a different story. I ordered a cheeseburger that was supposed to have bacon and onions but I didn't really see any. This had to be one of the worst burgers I've ever had. The meat was really dry and I would have called it "meatloaf on a pizza bagel" instead of "cheese burger". We also ordered some "fish tacos" but instead we got cold fish on a pan in some tomato sauce with cold terrible tortillas. I was very disappointed. The restaurant definitely needs to reconsider their menu because I could have made something better at home. It's not very hard to mess up fish tacos or a cheeseburger but somehow they did it.

I had a pretty decent experience here, unlike some of the previous reviewers. On our first day in…read moreBrussels, we were jetlagged and wandering around looking for food at 5PM - when nothing else seemed open. There were small groups of people drinking beers outside this restaurant, and we weren't sure if the kitchen was open yet - but we were offered the food menu. Bread rounds and delicious olives were complimentary. I ordered the mushroom omelette, which was a decent size, tasty, and less than 10 euros. It came with a small side of greens. My dining companions seemed to also enjoy their meals. The service was friendly and efficient, and helped us quickly move indoors when it started drizzling outside.

This place deserves zero stars. Awful food. Awful service. As a tourist with a boyfriend from…read moreBelgium, myself from California who lived here before, I highly suggest finding somewhere else. We ordered croquettes which tasted like rotten fish. Meaning the shrimp were spoiled. The parmesean ones tasted like dirty feet. I appreciate any good cheese but these were not good. We were hoping for a good appetizer and drink to hold us over until dinner but when we saw the menu, we were worried and figured we will start with one appetizer and order more if it was good. The waitress was completely upset when she saw we did not order more, and her attitude was not positive. We closed the bill, my boyfriend spoke to them about the service and we left. You are better off going next door to The Hairy Canary were we ordered drinks and at least the service is friendly.

I can't believe this entry is mentioned under "Bookshop" and not "Restaurant". And not even just…read moreany restaurant but an EXCELLENT restaurant. Maybe its to keep this restaurant a hidden gem? Hidden it is definitely, as one would never enter this place in order to find (excellent) food by the look of its windows, that is to say, the windows of a simple, modest and typical Belgian bookshop, selling newspapers, lottery tickets, but also cigars! Yes, and a very nice collection of cigars too. But maybe those cigars are intended to put you in this relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy some very good whiskey, excellent French cuisine and cigars (outside then probably). In order to be able to get there, you need to first enter the bookshop. Once you're inside, struck by the neon lights of the bookshop, you suddenly are nicely surprised by the view at the end of the bookshop: a cozy, warm-feeling, small restaurant, decorated in the typical older French brasserie style, with a huge window showing you the chefs at work. You know you're about to experience something very special! Have I already mentioned this restaurant is excellent? Right... It is a gem! You sit down and can already feel the specialness in the table setting. Every piece has "De Maurice à Olivier" engraved. How many restaurants still go this far in the details? Then, there is the service: all the attention you need without going over the top. Classy, but not pretentious. One big family to make you feel at home and show you their best French cuisine (ok, I won't mention the fact that the owner who sat at the bookshop counter kept on looking at us, which made me feel a little bit uncomfortable. So I tried not to look. I think she really checked us out, as we must have been the only new guests in her restaurant/bookshop. But in the end, we had a little chat and she's really nice, although physically, you might think it's better not to mess with her, :) ). The food? Excellent! I could describe it with all the best adjectives that could exist in the restaurant world, but I'll keep it to the fact that knowing how to cook game meat and create original variants with it is a main quality qualifier. The dishes were definitely original, not yet experienced in any other restaurant and never had I eaten game meat so soft and tender that it would melt in your mouth. Of course, my review is only based on their special game meat menu during the season. I will surely come back again and try their regular menu and see if the restaurant offers the same quality for all its dishes. But in the meantime, based on my first experience, it deserves a 5-star rating. Anyways, the French expression rightly says: L'habit ne fait pas le moine. Who would have thought this: a restaurant in a bookshop? And by the way: the fact that this is a restaurant that is open at restaurant hours makes it also very convenient if you need anything from the bookshop at (almost) any time! Way to go!
