There were 4-6 people in front of us. It took us about an hour waiting. I hate to keep harping on the wait time but setting expectations is key. There is even a story posted on the window about the wait time. So why the wait? Tonton Graby provides individual attention. You can order off their limited menu or just talk to him about your feelings, likes, and dislikes. From there, you get a tailored cheese sandwich exceeding any expectations you might have built up. You don't pay until you've at least tasted it - even if you opt'd for take out. "If you don't like it, I'll eat it" the owner will tell you. You might opt for fruit or veggies on top. You can add meat. There is a small area to eat in if like us you were in no hurry. A sandwich with meat ran 9 euros as of this writing. They accept credit but prefer cash. Enjoy!

We were able to make selections from over 100 different cheeses as well as a variety of cured meats. The sandwich rivals my other fave from Alain Alain in Paris. It's a small but charming and quintessential Belgian shop. Traditional in every sense of the word. Simply put, it's a cheese lover's paradise. Catherine is extremely kind and patient as are her employees. They offer the ability to taste samples before making decisions. They're very helpful with making said decisions as well. A haven for like minded cheesemongers means the line can sometimes go out the door, especially at lunchtime. It is well worth the wait because so much love and care goes into every transaction with every customer. A most divine experience indeed.

Was so looking forward to our return trip to Brussels and visiting Catherine's. Over our week long stay we managed 3 visits to pick up cheese, freshly sliced deli meat, bead and made to order sandwiches. The cheeses that we selected were so very fresh and the selection to choose from was amazing. Of course my favorite was the truffle. We picked up sandwiches on two occasions and they were basically the same. The second one Catherine added a new little taste with the addition of three small roasted peppers. We had forgotten to ask for arugula and Catherine asked if we wanted it on this one...what a memory. Catherine's is a small place and always very busy. Quality shines throughout. The customers are almost all locals...another great sign. We noticed that when there were about three people inside that the patrons formed a line out of the door. Think out of respect for Catherine. Wish we had had a quality shop like Catherine's in metro Atlanta. We would drive to experience this and here in the hustle and bustle of Brussels there is a gem. Highly recommend. Prices are extremely reasonable. Can't wait to return...sooner than later. Thanks Catherine.

We first learned about Thérèse et Dominique through an article by Derek Blythe in the Brussels…read moreTimes. He's the guy that wrote that 500 Hidden Secrets of Brussels book. In the article, Blythe shared some of his favorite spots to eat, drink, and see around Brussels. We were excited to go back in late February, pre-Covid and sample, what he called, "some of the best Italian-style sandwiches in town." We went at an off peak time and skipped any semblance of a line. My wife and I each tried a different sandwich, ate half, and switched. On our first go in February we tried the Blythe recommended Bonne Maman, made with meatloaf, zucchini, grilled red peppers, arugula and their own homemade cocktail sauce, as well as their Président, made with camernbert cheese, arugula, Granny Smith apples, olive oil, balsamic vinaigrette, honey, and pomegranate arils. Both were spectacular. The bread is very nicely made, and their sauces were really well balanced and complimented each sandwich perfectly. Back in February, this place would have received a five star review. But for some reason, I never reviewed it. Well, we finally went back again, post-lockdown, and, well, they're still on point. This time we ordered the Rodéo, made with roast beef, a three pepper tapenade, arugula, and parmesan cheese. We also tried the Ciccio Bello, a breaded chicken sandwich made with tomatoes, mozzarella, eggplant, arugula and slathered with their homemade tartar sauce. The roast beef was a little tough to get through, but the three pepper tapenade was a great balance of peppery flavor without being spicy. The Ciccio Bello however, was an absolutely perfect sandwich. The chicken was breaded and cooked perfect, very juicy with a nice crunch, and the tartar sauce was impeccable. All in all, in two separate visits, Thérèse et Dominique has left us excited to come back and try another different sandwich each time. Unlike most sandwich places where I would find a favorite and stick to it, I don't see that happening here. Each sandwich is a win!
