    Amazing place, for a sea food lover I couldn't résiste this beautiful place and the food was excellent! I will definitely go back whenever I go to Bruxelles .

    It was with quite a bit of anticipation that I entered Le Brassins. I was mainly looking forward to having dinner with a very dear friend of ours, but I also wanted to try this "restaurant convivial" that is featured in many foodie blogs and also famously in the New York Times (2007). This is a lively place that serves a huge variety of Belgian beers and traditional foods like Carbonnade Flamande (sweet-sour beef and onion stew made with beer) and Stoemp (mashed potatoes and other seasonal veggies; served with onion sauce and sausage) at a very reasonable price. I had a delicious Lapin à la Kriek (rabbit stewed in cherry flavored beer). The gamy taste of the rabbit married well with the sweet-sour tasting sauce. I had fries to scoop up the tasty sauce. My dessert was a nice, but ordinary, Moelleux au chocolat. The ambiance is friendly and loud. You will have a good time in the company of dear friends. The service is not good, but at least it is not unfriendly. I guess one could say it is authentic Belgian. Come here with friends, have a great time and try good honest Belgian food without any fuss, and at reasonable prices. Bring cash, no cards accepted. The place is not as hard to find as said by some. Afterwards, when leaving the restaurant turn left, and you will soon find the plaque marking the birthplace of Audrey Hepburn.

    Les Brassins is a quaint little brasserie in the prettiest pedestrian alley in Brussels. We actually stumbled upon it as we were walking around the neighborhood, and decided to return for dinner one night. We were lucky to snag a table for two outside on the patio. The menu is pretty traditionally Belgian, with steak and meatballs, stoemp and frites. There are two fish dishes, and I think only one vegetarian dish of pasta. Everything is simply cooked and hearty - I asked for the grilled swordfish with the fennel cream on the side, which turned out to be a good choice. The fish was delicious and tender. I also asked for a simple salad, which came lightly dressed in a balsamic dressing. The frites were homemade, hand-cut, and very tasty. Prices were very reasonable - most of the entrees were under 20 euros. The service is very friendly though it was a little difficult to communicate in English. This place was the best I've found of authentic and traditional Belgian fare in Brussels. I'd highly recommend it for the beautiful and simple ambiance as well as the delicious and well-prepared food. It's probably better to book in advance by calling, as its a popular place and people tend to linger. Tip for sightseers: Audrey Hepburn's Belgian home is in this alley - look out for the sign!

    Excellent traditional belgian food, located in the heart of Ixelles. The Stoemp and Jambonneau are amazing. Waiters are very professional. The bad point it is not big, so you might have to wait some time to get your table. Highly recommended.

    This typical Belgian Brasserie is a must stop dinning in Brussels. It has the traditional Stoemp Saucisses, Carbonade Flamande, all with homemade fries and fine selection of good beers. It is located in Rue Keynveld where few houses aside you will find the place of birth of Audrey Hepburn. Service is a bit slow, but it is is alright for Brussels. You should call to reserve in advance for dinner on the weekends.

    The food here was great. I would definitely recommend the grilled swordfish - so so good. The penne with mushrooms is also pretty amazing. We went in for an early dinner - around 4 or 5, so it was not busy at all. The service was great

Their rabbit stew was also very delicious and it paired so well with their fries. I'm usually not a big fan of fries, but I could not stop eating them. Service: We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to quickly accommodate us as we got there a bit before rush hour. However, I would definitely recommend making a reservation as it gets pretty busy, especially with locals. All the staff were very nice and attentive as well! Ambiance: They have several levels to accommodate more people. They have their main bar on the first floor, but you do have to hike up a bit of stairs to get to the restroom as there's a flight of narrow stairs, so be careful. I really enjoyed dining here as it felt like a very local spot. This restaurant was definitely the highlight of our trip to Brussels!

The mussels are fresh and flavorful, and you can't help but slurp, I mean scoop up, some of the cream and garlic sauce in between each mussel. The other items are not bad, but nothing to write home about: Flemish beef stew, meatballs in tomato sauce, or even mussels with plain white wine (1 star off). Overall, Le Bistro is a good...bistro...option for some local foods.

Tender meat bursting with flavor with some mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce. I enjoyed the lamb as well, however a bit too much rosemary for me. Get the pear dessert.

While the register states No Cards one of the servers told the table next to mine not worry when they didn't have enough euros. Only a drink menu was provided and the dishes being served that day were handwritten on moveable boards or posted on the wall. I had on my list a couple to try but finally went with the Belgian carbonades à la biere which was beef stew with mashed potatoes in a dark gravy made with beer. The plate was quite generous and much appreciated since I devoured it. I enjoyed the creaminess of the potatoes swirled with gravy but the meat could've been a tad bit more tender. Service was good. I think everyone on the floor stopped by my table for one reason or the other. Ambiance was casual and looked like many people were taking their time over their meals. When finished you need head to the register to settle the tab. I paid in cash. Worth a return visit.
