Traditional Belgian restaurant with friendly service near Porte de Hal. I ordered the Rabbit Stew…read morein Kriek Beer (€26), which was more like two large pieces of meat cooked in stew but not actually a stew (with some fries too). The rabbit meat was surprisingly tender and the stew/sauce added some nice flavor. For those who haven't had rabbit before, it takes kind of like chicken to be honest, just with smaller bones. I think the price was okay considering the quality and type of dish. The fresh grapefruit juice (€5.80) was very good too. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and attentive. I was seated right away and the service speed was pretty quick. They have a decently sized indoor space as well as outdoor patio seating. The environment has a traditional Belgian restaurant/pub kind of vibe. Overall, Le Bistro has high quality traditional Belgian food in a pleasant setting and I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area near Porte de Hal / Marollen.

The Finnish stew was a little tough and the sauce was quite sweet. The mussels in white wine sauce was light and a little too pungent for us. I wish we liked the Belgian favorites a little more.

I would have liked to see more of a lunch menu for that time of day. 17€ is a bit pricey for noon. Didn't see the wine list for very long so I can't comment. I think the place is trending ahead of the neighborhood so I hope it makes it. One day this will be one of the many fine dining establishments in the area. But that will take time until the hood catches up. In the meantime, if they offered specials I might go more often as the menu looked somewhat static. That's my 4 star to a 5 star challenge. Otherwise they have all the ingredients necessary.

But they do their best to seat as many people as possible. I got in fairly quickly because i was alone. The food was fantastic. I had the Carbonade a la Biere, and it was so great!

If you want to try Belgian food with reasonable prices then this was one good option in Brussels…read more I arrived early for Friday night dinner and the restaurant was just over half full with lots of available seating. 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.

After a long awaited return to Belgium, I went to this restaurant, which seemed very nice on the…read moreinside, and we were nicely greeted. However, from there it went immediately downhill. The waiter forgot about us, then brought us our appetizer over fried croquettes of cheese and gray shrimp, but the worst was yet to come when we received our oven baked cod, which, although looked beautiful upon presentation, but was not cooked at all in the middle, so we had a big piece of raw fish that we had to leave, which was disgusting. When we let the waiter know he didn't even say sorry, nor did you bring over the head of the restaurant to offer us any apologies or compensation. Clearly this restaurant lacks in customer service and their chef doesn't know how to cook a piece of fish I highly recommend you do not eat at this restaurant as it's not worth the overpriced items they have on the menu.

This was a great experience. Nice small place that feels authentically Belgian. Great ambience and…read morefantastic service. In reviewing the menu, everything sounded fantastic. My wife settled on the beef stew with stoemp, I had the confit of beef chuck with a side of fries. They were both very tasty, the servings were perfect for normal appetites and the meal came with bread, and salad as well. 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.

I got lucky and only had to wait about 10 minutes as I was a eating solo, and the other people in queue were 4+. Sat down, grabbed a Cantillon on draft, and ordered. The cheese board was fantastic. The mussells were wonderful, and the homemade sausage was unfortunately just okay. Could have done without it as it was dry and overcooked, but very much enjoyed my meal here. Would suggest eating here easily.

I ordered the Belgian meatballs and my husband ordered the burger. The meatballs were delicious and…read morethe tomato sauce on them was incredible. I dipped my frites into the sauce and pretty much cleaned my plate, it was so good! My husband loved the burger and said that it was both delicious and filling. We both loved our food and thought the atmosphere was to die for. We were staring in the Grand Place as we ate our lunch. One of the owners visited with many people around us and seemed very friendly. We only had a few interactions with him, but thought he seemed very kind and happy that people chose his business. It was clean, delicious and really good service. Most seating is outside and in a small alley, so you will have many people walking past you as you eat, but that's Europe! :)

What a great little restaurant. Very nice inside, friendly and I thought the food was very good…read more Service could have been better. Very Slow bringing the food out. Maybe short in the kitchen but the servers were standing around the bar and not serving the patiently awaited customers. Very frustrating when I saw this.

Ah.. the Belgian experience. If you're familiar with it, you probably appreciate its peculiarities…read more If you're not, well why pass by a country and not try "local" as the kids like to call it these days. I've never seen a country handle potatoes better than Belgium and I've tried fries overseas. Trust me when I tell you that there's a technique to it that many countries do not master, unfortunately. Now, the Belgian experience.... You need a restaurant called a taverne. A place where the "menu of the day" might be a grandmother's vol-au-vent, stoemp with sausage or another variety. You'll need lots of-and I mean- lots of beer; the classics and the crafts for the more modern folk. You wouldn't want to miss the one thing that make tavernes so recognizable: the deep green over deck that covers you when the inevitable Belgian rain comes pouring down. It's lovely how many different faces you'll see at restaurants like these. It ranges from groups of women grabbing a cup of coffee while bikering about whether or not one of them should call off her wedding. A huge family that had to have a family meal right there and then with the rowdy kids to match or couples, that desired to create intimate bonds through the one thing they'll always agree on: good food. Does it matter that the sauce that accompanied the duck had way too much alcohol in it for my taste? Or that the over deck was a tad bit too short , which caused half of my body to be wet from the rain? Or that this place wasn't that special but I liked it anyway? Because when I look back, the tad bits of "just good enough " that I found at Dynasty created a moment that I cherish in my heart.
