While not authentic Thai flavor food, it was quite delicious!…read more Why I go for Asian food first before local cuisines is besides me, but it sounded so good that night. The restaurant itself is located in a hip neighborhood with many other restaurants nearby, with minimal car traffic (Not sure where you park). The interior is not the largest, but it does offer a peace and tranquility with a fair amount of seating. The staff that greeted and served us during the meal was quite friendly and quick in terms of help and serving food. The menu itself is English friendly along with a few other languages, which is a plus! While I was not starving, I did not opt for any appetizers sadly, but they looked delicious. We ended up getting a large bowl of Tom Yum and Pad Thai. The restaurant was not too busy as it just had opened, but the food came out within 20 or so minutes, so I figured it would not be too bad (Quick food out of the kitchen worries me, not gonna lie). As mentioned initially, the flavors were unique, not what I was used to in regards to the Tom Yum, but that does not take away from the flavor at all as it was quite good. Serving size was quite large, enough to make me feel better about not ordering an appetizer. As for the Pad Thai, my travel partner mentioned it hit the spot and again they gave her a TON of it. Finally, price wise, do not expect to drop too much in terms of cash as it was very fair for the city and proximity to downtown. Well worth it if you are in need of some Thai goodness.

While the register states No Cards one of the servers told the table next to mine not worry when they didn't have enough euros. Only a drink menu was provided and the dishes being served that day were handwritten on moveable boards or posted on the wall. I had on my list a couple to try but finally went with the Belgian carbonades à la biere which was beef stew with mashed potatoes in a dark gravy made with beer. The plate was quite generous and much appreciated since I devoured it. I enjoyed the creaminess of the potatoes swirled with gravy but the meat could've been a tad bit more tender. Service was good. I think everyone on the floor stopped by my table for one reason or the other. Ambiance was casual and looked like many people were taking their time over their meals. When finished you need head to the register to settle the tab. I paid in cash. Worth a return visit.

If you really want to guarantee a spot for dinner here, make a reservation ahead of time, but to be…read morehonest, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. I'd only come here if I couldn't find anything else to eat - I prefer Fin de Siecle across the street for more traditional Belgian food (it's a no-reservation, wait-in-line kind of place). We ended up here because we had eaten at Fin de Siecle already the night before, and the restaurant we wanted to go to was full, so this was one of few options to dine at on a Sunday evening. The service here was interminably slow - it took them almost 20 min to get me a table. I didn't have a reservation, so I was fine waiting, but when you tell me 5 minutes or 2 minutes a handful of times, it's just better to tell me that it's a 15-20 minute wait for a table. It worked out fine because my fiance had to go find an ATM to get cash, since this place doesn't take credit cards. We thought this place was more Mediterranean (per Yelp's categorisation) but it was more Italian than anything else, with Spanish tapas and some Italian starters / antipasti. They have a lot of "world tapas" and the menu had a lot of different options of varying cuisines, but this place seemed to just make a lot of things on the mediocre side instead of making fewer things that taste great. On the tapas side they have bruschetta, fried bacalao fritters, patatas bravas, fried calamari, crostini. They have 7 salad options to pick from, which is definitely nice to find in a restaurant in Brussels, where most of the choices on the menu revolve around potatoes and meat. They have about 10-12 choices for pasta dishes, Belgian dishes, meat, and fish. You should be able to find something to eat on this menu since it's fairly varied. Bruschetta (6,50€) - We were starving by the time we sat down, so we got an appetizer - they have 2 bruschetta dishes, the smaller one at 6,50€ has tomatoes, parmesan cheese, basil, and anchovies, and just one piece of bread, and the larger version is almost double in price and has 2 pieces of bread and includes shrimp scampi and garlic. The bruschetta was fine (we got the smaller one) - not mind blowing, but not worth the price. There were a lot of tomatoes and the parmesan cheese was good but the bread was just okay and didn't seem particularly fresh. Salade Publico (15,90€) - This salad had a really huge piece of grilled salmon on top of shredded cabbage and iceberg lettuce, and had some fried calamari and bacalao / cod fritters. The salmon was farm-raised and overly plump, and slightly overcooked. The lettuce/cabbage was fine, but would have preferred mixed greens. The fried calamari and deep fried cod fritters didn't seem very fresh and seemed previously frozen and very-much mass-produced like it came out of a big bag from the freezer. We wanted salad, so this was at least decently healthy and satisfied what we wanted, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get this salad again. Ravioli Publico (15,20€) - These raviolis had meat inside, and topped with brown mushrooms, some parma ham, and a cream-sauce. There were maybe 10-12 pieces of ravioli on the plate, just FYI for those of you who are used to ordering ravioli and getting 5 pieces and then sit there hungry for the rest of dinner. The other pasta dishes looked bigger to me, and I wished I had gotten the orecchiette instead. The pasta was fine but didn't taste particularly fresh. I've had similar tasting pasta from the grocery store in the refrigerated section. I don't think I'd get this again if I came back. The service was not super - they took a long time to bring us wine after we ordered (and forgot my glass and then charged us for an extra one when I asked for my wine -- glad we checked the bill!) and were slow at taking orders / bringing food. Maybe they were super busy, but they just seemed short-staffed on waiters/cooks. They also didn't bring us the complimentary bread all the other tables seemed to get. They don't take credit cards, so plan accordingly. I wouldn't come back here unless there was nothing else open around here. The food was just mediocre for the price, and the service was subpar. It was okay - I'd give it between around 2.5 stars, maybe 3 if I was feeling generous. There are better restaurants in Brussels.

My wife settled on the beef stew with stoemp, I had the confit of beef chuck with a side of fries.

We really enjoyed it, in retrospect I wish we had ordered a beef dish and something else, both dishes we had were excellent (the confit of beef practically fell apart with my fork) but the tastes were similar. Oh well, maybe next time. Highly recommended.

At €16-17 per bowl, the size was slightly small but acceptable.
