I left to find something else but tried my luck & coming back. Glad I did! They have wine, but as I was told, beer is their thing. The food was excellent and the staff are colorful and efficient as the flow between tables! I had the meatballs (2 large ones), meals come with a small salad and a side & bread! The beer selection is wide. Mostly Belgium ones. Other tables had what looked like delicious tuna, lasagna and stew which they all seemed to enjoy.

I am so sorry to not rave about this place like everyone else did…read more To start with the positives: -cute, cozy spot inside with a few outdoor tables. No reservations, so you have to wait in line. Luckily, the line moved pretty quickly and we were able to be seated inside. -service was great. The fabulously dressed flamboyant gentleman was kind and helpful. The sassy woman was hilarious! -Portions are pretty decently sized and priced fairly Why three stars? I just didn't enjoy anything that we ordered. Sadly, it was my least favorite meal that we had in Belgium. Based on all the reviews, I think it's clear that it's not the place per se, but what I was looking for. That being said, I still must be honest. What we ordered: Cheddar Croquettes (2 for 14 Euros): Just ok and this was one of the things that I felt was overpriced Carpaccio of Smoked Beef with White Truffle Oil (18 Euros): Again, just ok Meatloaf with "Jack Pepper" sauce (26 Euros): "Jack Pepper" means something different in Brussels. It was basically a peppercorn gravy. I wasn't a fan, but Jim G. enjoyed it. With this, we had frites and a small side salad. I know many people recommend that Flemish Beef Stew, but we already had that at Fin de Siecle, and I couldn't imagine that any place would top it, so we didn't get it here. Ultimately, this place isn't for me, but I seem to be in the minority.

I went with the trilogy of Belgium classics and was not disappointed. It was the best meal I've had in Belgium, save the meatball which I had at Tomorrowland (Balls&Glory) was better as it had stuffing inside it. Highly recommend this place as the ambiance was regal and very comforting to dine in. All the servers wore white coats and so the feeling was that you were being wined and dined by the best (if not sometime slow) servers in Belgium.

The wine selection is excellent and thoughtfully curated, with great pairings to choose from.

Attentive, unhurried service and a timeless atmosphere make this a true Brussels institution that absolutely lives up to its reputation. Do not miss!!

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 reviews are legit! I had been to some good restaurants away from City Center, but I was…read moresurprised to see the good reviews of this place so close to The Square. When I arrived I found an impressive menu of food and drink that I did not expect. They had Westmalle beer, and that was a great start. Ricardo the host/proprietor/waiter is originally from Columbia and we worked through some broker Spanish (on my part) to order an impressive array of Wild Shrimp Croquettes, Chorizo and (I think) Radish Homemade Ravioli, House Cut Steaks w/Belgium Frittes, and Beef Cheeks in Gravy. Very high quality food for this area, in a very friendly atmosphere. I think it was Anna (the chef) who came out and she was very sweet. I could see great care was taken in the preparation. I highly recommend this place when in the center of Brussels. The yelps were on point with this one.

Honestly I'm very disappointed…read more The place is pretty, located at the heart of the grand place. The food is good. I got the cheese and salami mixed plate and my friends got muscles and beef stew. The food was pretty good and some of my friends loved their dishes. I got something simple so it was ok. What I did not like was the demeanor of the waiter. He was cordial but he could not care less. We ordered and he dropped a basket of bread on the table with some butter., which was great. But we were not sure if it was for a meal or for the table. All the menus we got were not in English so we were not sure and they didn't tell us... So once the food came we ate the bread. We assumed was for the table but would been nice to know if it really was as we were all friends and didn't wanna eat someone else's stuff like that. Also another thing, when they dropped the food they just dropped anywhere... So my food ended up in front of someone else... and we only had 3 adults so it shouldn't be that hard to know what meal goes where. He also tried to convince us to go inside to eat... even said it was about to rain... it wasn't and it did not.... He prob wanted to make it a little easier since everyone else outside was just having drinks... I get it but annoying and it seems like he checked out from there. I think that the service was the only set back here and I think it would be a very good place if the staff was a little more caring. Other than the service everything was pretty good.
