Last Sunday I wanted to order at Noï's and because it was closed, I ordered at Les Larmes du Tigre…read more Although a few euros more expensive, the portions are really copious, its super delicious and more importantly its open on sundays. Perfect for a sunday night take away in front of a good movie. (They also deliver). I have been a loyal customer since many many years and the prawn red curry is undeniably one of the best in Brussels. Having said that, my boyfriend finds there are not enough vegetables in the curries. He's not wrong. Again I don't really eat in Thaï restaurants because I find that Thaï restaurant interior designs are usually tacky. But at Les Larmes du Tigre, the deco is alright. One of my top 5 Thai restaurants.

I had seen the place already some months ago but never managed to go there. AMI is a…read morevegetarian/vegan restaurant with nice decor, full of light and delicious food. I have been there with a friend and her 1,5 years old daughter. It is kid-friendly and the staff is very kind and attentive. We had a soup and a veggie burger and the little one had a quinoa salad. Everything was fresh and tasty! An the prices are more than fair! The burgers are on the small side, so get two or add a soup or small salad! Definitely a place where I will bring my vegan friends when they are visiting, since in Brussels sometimes restaurants don't really get the concept of being vegan ;)

Firstly, I must admit I'm a bit nostalgic about this place which used to be an amazing homemade…read moresoup shop - it's still a bit weird to step and not find the smell of soup. First impression of Ami is generally positive - at 1pm it was almost completely full and the menu looked tempting. Given the demand for seats, we shared a table with another guy. While we ordered drinks (interesting choices) the guy waited to order, having arrived 5 minutess ahead of us. The staff were so busy that he was completely ignored, and discreetly gave up and walked out. Not a good start! Anyway, we went and ahead and ordered (shortly afterwards!) and were advised that the burgers will mini - i.e. better to order two at a time, or else combine it with soup. Good advice: they are delicious but are not a meal in themselves, even for lunch. My favourite was the Mexican-themed burger (I forget the name). Soup was some obscure vegetable which I decided to risk, and it turned out to be excellent - big thumbs up. Would definitely go back to try again - staff were very pleasant, but would maybe try and beat the lunchtime rush during the week.

Very good burgers, 4.5 *'s - well-seasoned, well cooked, with nice char on the patty. I got a…read more"classique", with carmelized onions, bbq sauce, cheddar, and lettuce tomato. My kid got a "big joe" with sauce au poivre. My wife loved her salad with grilled chicken. Good frites on the side. Service was, *sigh*, typically Belgian, and hard to flag down. Also we got charged for a water bottle that never arrived and had to resolve it while settling up the bill.

I had heard many times about this place and never had the chance to taste it. Now, I can say they…read morefulfilled my expectations! I have got a Big Joe, and it was simply delicious. Size was big enough to lunch and not too big to be very full (later I had to work). Once tasted, it is clear the freshness of the ingredients. One of the best points: french fries! Different from those typical in Chez Antoine, it is the perfect match for the Big Joe. Service is correct and professional as expected Not in city center, so a bit far for tourists but if you are spending time in Place Flagey this is an excellent option to consider.

My first night in Brussels and tried this place because it was around the corner from where I was…read morestaying and, WOW. I never write reviews but this warranted one. Possibly the best pasta I've had, possibly better than Italy. The atmosphere, small space, simple and fresh flavors with only one chef cooking your meal 20 feet away from you makes the entire experience the best pasta I've had. The menu is written on a whiteboard and orders taken on post it notes. Simple, old school, traditional, perfection.

I arrived at 7PM on a Friday night with no reservation like a silly american tourist... While they…read morewere fully booked I was able to charm the hostess into squeezing me and my main squeeze into a table for two. Be prepared to be patient! This is not fast food.. and there is one Chef in the kitchen doing absolutely everything.. You will be rewarded in due time. The Buratta Mozzarella was creamy and paired with asparagus dressed in more freshly shaved truffle than I deserved... A flavor combination that hooked me instantly. A pot arrived steaming.. looking in all i could see was Truffle!!! its like i hit the truffle lottery and the stuff was being shaved from above raining down on me like snow. The Risotto was brothy mushroom.. not the thicker oatmeal like incarnation i have grown accustomed to. Perfectly seasoned and warmed my insides like a furnace... The portions were large even by american standards as I attempted to eat my way out of the packed restaurant. A chefs pan arrived with thick tagliatelle pasta and a whole lobster. A dish naturally seasoned by the briney release of my clawed friends juices... I ate like it was my job... I was an embarrassment in my dizzy frenzy.. I ate things on other peoples tables.. I could not control myself... I bit the waitress... I can not show my face in Brussels again.

Every time I've been there there was a good atmosphere. In brief, nice cheap/affordable restaurant in this (expensive) neighborhood, and you know you don't expect delicate food.
