I came here with my partner and his parents for dinner and we enjoyed different burgers and their spicy fish and chips- the blue cheese burger was delicious and the spice on the fish and chips were amazing. (Side note: their bbq sauce was made in house and also very good!) We didn't really get to try their beer selection and I've heard great things about their nachos, so we'll have to return! There weren't a ton of folks when we'd gone since we arrived fairly early, but it started to fill up as the evening went on. Additionally, my partner had left behind a backpack and they kept it safe for when they opened the next available day- really honest people and service! They do accept card for payment as well.

The sign is a tiny one over the kitchen entrance so you'll miss it if you're not careful. Arrived on a Saturday around 830pm. Bar was really nice and friendly. Had their pulled pork sandwich with the Dewar's injection. Kitchen is small and can be sow. Don't rush it. Enjoy a few drinks and relax. The house lager on draft was really good. Service was top notch and very friendly. Had such a great time I came back middle of the week and had one of their burgers that was a spicy one. The spice level was fairly hot due to the jalapenos, but it wasn't burn your face off like ghost chilis. I give it a 5 or 6 on the hotness scale. It was flavorful but not anything I would recommend to people who love spicy food. The average person would probably enjoy it. Bar seating with friendly bartenders are what makes this place so skip the table and sit at the bar.

It's a cozy corner restaurant that has a better than decent drink selection and a rotating menu of seasonal dishes as well as a menu of favorites. My husband had the spare ribs and remarked that they were the best he's ever had in Europe (that's a high accolade). I had the burger and it was pretty good. The server/barkeeper was friendly and attentive and all of the other patrons seemed comfortable and relaxed. It was a great experience.

If you're not situated on the outdoor terrace to watch the world pass on by, then they have plenty of cozy seating inside in the form of bench tops. A couple of TV's scattered about which are guaranteed to be showing a football or rugby match. Food is limited and consists of cheese, bread, and sausages (snacks). Somehow glad that we were corralled into this cafe by the riot police after the clashes between Moroccan and Belgium fans following the World Cup match. It was a pleasant respite away from the chaos ensuing outside.

Even the Trappists like Rochefort 8 are only 3.80! Food is limited to quiche, sausage, and cheese, and be forewarned, they only take cash (a common phenomena in Brussels). A nice jazzy sound-track, and newspapers hanging in holders by the bar add to the appeal. But the best thing about Cafe Bebo? The large outdoor area facing Place Roupe; perfect for a sunny, or (this being Belgium after all) a non-rainy day.

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!

Dear brunch-lovers, If you are looking for something trendy…read morebut easy-going, Garage à Manger is a great option for you. Here is my list of convincing arguments: - A fixed brunch formula (25 euro) is perfectly lazy for your Sunday. All you have to do is to navigate from one fragrant dish/steaming pot to another, while listening to the chef murmuring the names of the ingredients; - You eat responsibly: the ingredients are seasonable and local. The chef keeps food simple but elegant. So apart from a great eating experience you leave the place with a couple of new ideas to extend your own cooking horizons; - Even though 'garage' is not the most appetizing place you can think of, the setting of the restaurant is very well-turned. The room is big and spacy, but random objects you have all around, clutter it up in a very cosy way. You feel intimate although the place is very busy; - And last but not least, Garage à Manger is connected to a quaint second-hand bookstore called Pêle-Mêle, where you can pay a visit before or straight after your brunch. Kill two birds with one stone - treat your body & mind equally well!

If you don't book, you might not get a seat... and it's not easy changing seats, as the shifts are usually full. On the food side... not my favourite... sweets are ok, the savouries... well... I utterly hated the carrots with cinnamon. Eggs are odd to get, there is a specific protocol and though the "walking through the kitchen" concept is fun, most dishes available are a bit odd... The drinks policy is 2, one warm and one cold, though water is refillable. I do miss things like fruit salad, varieties of eggs, pancakes, cake, avocado, bacon and so on...

Be ware: L'amour fou has a new concept since 18th April 2016 ! Goodbye Burgers and Hello PASTRAMI !…read more You might be sad and wonder if the quality remains the same? Yes it does! The basic concepts that made this place great: quality "comfort food" and cocktails, remain! The cocktails are delicious (and they regularly have good deals and change the menu), the brunch also remains and seems delicious and the pastrami are great. 150 gr of smoked meat in-house (yes they do it all themselves - and yes, it's hallal) with quality bread (for now they buy it at "La Fleur de Pain" but will soon do it themselves), which just melts in your mouth, it's yummy! If you are not a big meat fan, then the salmon or veggie versions are for you, they are amazing! The staff, the mood, the feeling remains, so don't hesitate to go back. De House, the Gin place, just next to it, belongs to the same owner and I recommend you to have a drink there first or after !

This charming little bar in the Flagey area is a hidden gem. It doesn't get as crowded as some of…read morethe other spots nearby, but the ambiance is absolutely lovely and inviting. The selection of beers on tap is decent, and they also offer cocktails and other drinks. They have a variety of food and snacks for those who want to eat or need a bite, and there's even a room with darts and billiards for those who want to take a break from their drinks (or drink and play). Side note: you'll need some coins on hand since a round is a few euros. It's a very casual and local spot that's perfect for a relaxed night out.

Spaghetti bolo for breakfast? Hell yeah!…read more After a morning jaunt through the flea market where I snatched up a fab porcelain pastry plate for 2E, my local host suggested a mid-morning snack at this 100% authentic Belgian café. As soon as we walked through the door my heart started to flutter. The wood paneled restaurant with its large central Zinc bar, gruff but friendly waiters, formica table tops with little napkin dispensers looks like it hasn't budged in 50 years. In a word: adorable! After examining the menu thoroughly I settled on the house specialty of spaghetti bolo and a café russe to wash it all down. An incongruous blend, I know, but hey, in a 24hr Belgian diner anything goes. Needless to say the bolo was like nothing I've ever had. Served over slightly overcooked vermicelli and topped with grated gruyere, the peppery, chunky bolognaise sauce had a regressive, quirky, heartiness to it that made the whole dish super fun to eat. If I lived in BXL I could see La Clef d'Or becomming a regular post flea market spot.
