Wanting a less chaotic restaurant so I could catch up with my friend over din, this restaurant was just perfect. We ordered the croquettes/Bitterballen, cod, and steak. There were pretty limited beer options, but the handful available were awesome. Not to mention, the wine list is extensive! The food was extremely fresh and cooked perfectly. The steak was was just marinated with very light salt and pepper, allowing me to savor the truly medium rare goodness! It was a 5-6 oz piece, not too large and came with a side salad and fries. The cod was so tender and moist, served with a nice not-too-heavy sauce that complemented it well. The best part of my time here was the service! Our waiter and waitress were so adorable and friendly. I really enjoyed my time here!

We kept it classic this time: * The Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender as always. They don't over-sweeten the glaze, which I appreciate. * Le Cannibale Royale: The pulled pork on top of the patty is a heavy hitter, but the sauerkraut actually cuts through the richness perfectly. * The Fries: Still some of the most consistent in the city--thin, salty, and actually hot. Service was busy (it's Handboogstraat, so what do you expect?), but the staff was super chill and kept the craft beers flowing. It's loud, it's moody, and it's exactly what I wanted for a late-night feed. Plus, I've noticed they actually take the time to read and reply to feedback here, which is a rare find for a place this popular. Keep doing what you're doing!

Well, that's exactly how I felt while eating the short ribs dish at this amazing place. I was enjoying it so much, that I felt as if I was naked and everyone in the place was staring at me, that's how good it was. The dessert, a chocolate tart, with meringue, and Valrhona chocolate ice cream was an intimate experience of sheer joy. The only negative thing I would say is that they were busy and the service took just a little too long, but it was like waiting for a woman who takes forever to get ready, but when you see her, you just want to ravish her on the spot. Brasserie Van Baerle is a fine dining sensation, that offers good value for money and superb food. If you haven't been, check it out.

Like most reviewers I found this restaurant via Yelp! And the first picture I can across was their…read moreseafood platter, aka Fruits De Mer. I attempted 2 bookings, one via Facebook which didn't seem successful, so to be on the safe side I also booked in via Seatme on the restaurant website. When I arrived they had no note of either booking, but I didn't have to show my email confirmation as the waitress seated me anyway. Now, I'm sure I read that it was a casual restaurant, however, although I was quite dressed up for my birthday, and for certain the youngest (and only single customer), with visible tattoos, I felt a little out of place. I ordered a glass of the Prosecco Spumante, delish and reasonably priced at €3.75 a glass. After pretending to peruse the menu (I knew EXACTLY what I wanted) I enquired about the difference between the Assiette and Plateau Fruit De Mer, and was told it was just size. Now, pay attention those who suffer from "Eyes bigger than your belly" syndrome, if you're eating alone the Assiette will most likely be more than sufficient. If, like me, you doubt the portion size of a €42 seafood platter, or you're sharing between 2-4 people, order the Plateau. Along with some if the most beautiful crusty bread I have ever had, and a tasty side salad, I was given the tools with which to battle my meal. I started to wonder if I was having dinner, carrying out surgery, or building a battleship. However, when my two tier platter arrived, I knew I was going to war. The top tier was my "Royal" section; half a lobster and 4 oysters, accompanied by a shallot and red wine vinegarette. Although I'm a huge lobster lover, and I know a dish like this is generally chilled, like other shellfish/crustaceans, I do prefer it served warm. I enjoyed it very much, but still felt it could have been cooked a few more minutes, as some of it seemed almost raw. The bottom was 4 portions of allll the shellfish, including king prawns, clams, scallops, whelks and sea snails. The prawns were extremely tasty, especially when dipped in the accompanying Marie Rose dip. The scallops had a slightly smokey taste, although I think my pallet prefers them served warm. Clams, which seemed to be of varying types, were a first for me, and I was not disappointed. Whelks, nice, but not as tasty as Betty's from The Barras, and the sea snails were passed to my (at times, often sickeningly over affectionate and most likely adulterous) neighbours. They seemed to enjoy the horrid looking creatures. All in all, despite my fear that I would be conquered by a bunch of cooked and chilled seafood, I won the war and cleared my plates. My only complaint was I wasn't given a bowl of lemon water to dip my paws in in between, and was only offered it when I asked to be directed to the washroom. Other than that the staff were friendly, the bill a reasonable €62 (though I did start to doubt when I left that the biggest number on the bill wasn't the last, and the extras below may have to be added to the total) and I would definitely return, though hopefully with a companion next time!
