The waitress spoke English well so it was the first place in al of Europe I could ask for something additional and get it with no problem. I ordered the wings with a side of fries and my husband ordered the burger with cheese and bacon- both were quite good! They also offered prosecco by the glass which was a huge win in my book! Good option while staying in Marriott for food!

I'd return and I recommend Woodpecker.

This place serves fruit bowls, fresh-squeezed juices and fresh veggies as well as typical breakfast and lunch items. They specialize in poached eggs and peck-style waffles. I went with the charcoal pancakes which has strawberry sauce and lime cream cheese; I also had egg, OJ, and a latte. My colleague had avocado toast with spring mix. I was very pleased with the charcoal pancakes but the portion was quite small. It's a good thing that I ordered egg as well. My colleague loved the avocado toast. My cell signal was very spotty and they provided me with the WiFi password. The service was good, the menu was unique, the food was good and the name is awesome. Four stars!

Food was awesome, ordered my food with my new fave drink = Aperol Spritz

Wide range of food based on the menu but unfortunately on the day I went there with a friend only burgers were available and must I say the burger I ordered was not good. I ordered a Yenkomo burger. The buns and burger patty were dry, so it wasn't really satisfying to eat. I did enjoy eating the fresh salad and the fries with the chipotle sauce (amazing sauce!). For my drink, I took a Chai, it wasn't bad. I would like to come back and try the Afro-Latino fusion food they have once it's available again. But I will never order burgers there

I can't believe this entry is mentioned under "Bookshop" and not "Restaurant". And not even just…read moreany restaurant but an EXCELLENT restaurant. Maybe its to keep this restaurant a hidden gem? Hidden it is definitely, as one would never enter this place in order to find (excellent) food by the look of its windows, that is to say, the windows of a simple, modest and typical Belgian bookshop, selling newspapers, lottery tickets, but also cigars! Yes, and a very nice collection of cigars too. But maybe those cigars are intended to put you in this relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy some very good whiskey, excellent French cuisine and cigars (outside then probably). In order to be able to get there, you need to first enter the bookshop. Once you're inside, struck by the neon lights of the bookshop, you suddenly are nicely surprised by the view at the end of the bookshop: a cozy, warm-feeling, small restaurant, decorated in the typical older French brasserie style, with a huge window showing you the chefs at work. You know you're about to experience something very special! Have I already mentioned this restaurant is excellent? Right... It is a gem! You sit down and can already feel the specialness in the table setting. Every piece has "De Maurice à Olivier" engraved. How many restaurants still go this far in the details? Then, there is the service: all the attention you need without going over the top. Classy, but not pretentious. One big family to make you feel at home and show you their best French cuisine (ok, I won't mention the fact that the owner who sat at the bookshop counter kept on looking at us, which made me feel a little bit uncomfortable. So I tried not to look. I think she really checked us out, as we must have been the only new guests in her restaurant/bookshop. But in the end, we had a little chat and she's really nice, although physically, you might think it's better not to mess with her, :) ). The food? Excellent! I could describe it with all the best adjectives that could exist in the restaurant world, but I'll keep it to the fact that knowing how to cook game meat and create original variants with it is a main quality qualifier. The dishes were definitely original, not yet experienced in any other restaurant and never had I eaten game meat so soft and tender that it would melt in your mouth. Of course, my review is only based on their special game meat menu during the season. I will surely come back again and try their regular menu and see if the restaurant offers the same quality for all its dishes. But in the meantime, based on my first experience, it deserves a 5-star rating. Anyways, the French expression rightly says: L'habit ne fait pas le moine. Who would have thought this: a restaurant in a bookshop? And by the way: the fact that this is a restaurant that is open at restaurant hours makes it also very convenient if you need anything from the bookshop at (almost) any time! Way to go!
