Really cool beer bar with an incredible selection of Belgian beers and most importantly lambics!…read moreThe bartenders are knowledgeable and passionate about the beers they serve. You can pair the beers with some charcuterie, cheese platters, or flatbreads. We decided to try the cheese platter and felt it was the perfect bite to complement our beer tasting. If you love beers and lambics come to Moedor when you are in Brussels!

You will find most everything here and if they don't have it, ask the bartender who can lead you. They have some great flatbread snacks and some other food items as well.

They did not sell food that I noticed which was a bummer because we were hungry, but that's okay. We left with some killer merchandise, sweatshirts stickers and tshirts and the bartender was so friendly he threw in a few canvas bags for free because we loved it so much! I loved their use of the logo all over the brewery and alley, it make it hard to forget where we were!

America needs to get its act together because Europe is clearly brewing up something better. This beer pub is a must-stop since it's in Guinness world record book, with multiple floors and corridors, and wayyyyy too many options. However, The bartenders are kind and knowledgeable. My recommendation: Cactus Beer! Light, beer-y refreshing, and taste like juice! Very nice chill spot to just drink and hang all day.

The decor, while some a bit creepy, is also a reason to at least stop in for a drink. The food won't wow you, but it will not disappoint either. Service is solid. Again, nothing to brag about but they do their best. I came before the crowds surrounded Manneken Pis and found there was plenty of room. When I walked by later, I found it was much busier (no surprise), so worth keeping that in mind. Also, worth noting, they have a small section of outdoor seating to take advantage of if the weather is nice.

Mediocre pasta place popular with hipsters. The front room is more of a bar, and had live music…read morelater on in our visit, but the back room is a cute and light-filled space for dining and drinking. They have a few options for pasta, but pretty much all of them will come with a heaping amount of average spaghetti, tons of meaty sauce, and copious amounts of cheese. I like my pasta covered in parm but this was a new level, and I had to scrape off a lot. Portions are extremely large, which ends up making the prices quite reasonable, but I struggled to finish mine, and not just from the size. My short rib topping was meh; I would just stick with the normal bolognese. Beer selection is pretty good. Our first waitress was indifferent but we later had a charming and attentive waiter. Bathrooms are grungy and communal, like a dive bar or venue. I can see why this place gets recommended to tourists, as it's in a charming neighborhood with a mix of locals and foreigners, it's easy to get a seat, and it's an attractive value. However, I just didn't think the food was good.

Monk was recommended to me by a random Twitter account representing a range of hostels across…read moreEurope. With this, I was slightly dubious - but they seriously know what they're talking about. After a long journey and lazy afternoon in and around the hotel, we hopped in a taxi and went straight to Monk for our first evening meal in Brussels. Aesthetically, everything is just spot on for me. From the window decal to the floor titles and the dark wooden cladding to the hidden nature of the restaurant in the back, if I could transport one place back to the UK with me it would be here. We managed to work our way through the Thursday night crowds and into the restaurant to grab a table; there was roughly a twenty minute wait but, with a Frankie & Benny's style buzzer to let us know when the table would be ready, we headed back into the bar. I went for their standard blonde on draught and Kate W. found her new favourite beer in the world, kriek boon. The atmosphere was the right balance between busy but not overwhelming, and service at the bar was super speedy despite the crowds. Once the buzzer went off, we headed immediately back through and settled down to look over the menu. It's a super simple set up - you choose your pasta sauce and cheese topping - for €10. We both went for the classic bolognese (the dish we'd read the most about) topped with parmesan. The whole meal experience was simple, no frills, but absolutely excellent. We visited again on our last day just for a drink, but their deli selection is well worth partaking in from what we saw; a whole range of meats and cheese, plus a traditional pea soup and hunks of bread, all soundtracked by someone playing the grand piano. Whether you're after a simple laid back beer or full dinner experience, this is the place to be.

This is one awesome bar in Brussels. Highly recommended if you're looking for a chill local spot…read morewithout a lot of tourists to enjoy some delicious trappist variety beers. The bartenders are extremely friendly, speak English and knowledgable about the types of beers they serve. They only start serving beer at 5 PM the sign said, but we walked in at 4:00 pm and there were plenty of folks already enjoying some beers. The seating is intimate and the lighting is low sometimes especially in the night but it's the perfect place to relax with some delicious beers on tap or in the bottle. They serve Archel and Orval here as well as Westmalle for trappist beers as well as a huge variety of other Belgium delights. Apparently in Europe, people don't tip!

The chalk boards at the far end play host to a good selection of trappist beers, which are mostly bottled. Prices in keeping with everywhere else, service was friendly and efficient.

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.

The service was attentive, but not overbearing, the food was simple but extremely fresh and delicious, and very reasonable. 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!

I have to say that this restaurant was rather tacky, but that is in part because it outside of…read moreBruxelles-Midi, and the area outside is also rather tacky. Anyway, I just popped in here an grabbed a beer, and I suspect that they are used to people popping in here for a beer, considering that there doesn't seem to be a pub in the station (not that I looked, but there didn't seem to be one). So, I guess it is an okay place to go while waiting for your train.

My wife and I took a day trip to Brussels specifically to come here while on our anniversary…read morevacation. First the beers. They were amazing! Everything I read about and expected. The reason for the three stars, is the lack of any type of customer service. We arrived during business hours and the tap room was open. We passed three employees walking in and we said hello. We were the only two people in the tasting room except for an employee eating a salad at a table. One by one the outside employees walked in and went onto the production side, not saying a word. I'm thinking, "okay, it's probably not their job. Maybe this young lady eating the salad runs the tap room, and we happened to catch her at lunch." She finished her lunch and walked out without a word. Then as we sat there (and got up and walked around the tap room) for almost 25 minutes. Multiple people walked through the tap room ignoring us completely. After asking my wife if I should just pour us some beers and leave money on the counter she convinced me to stop a guy passing through and in broken French asked him if we could buy a few beers and a T-shirt. Once I asked, he was pleasant and helped us and we tried a few beers and took 6 home with us. Again the beer was great, but we both just had the feeling we weren't welcome, or perhaps being a bother. This was about, 4 months ago btw (October 25th, 2018)
