Unfortunately, I'm American so I don't speak a word of French, and this is a local shop. They don't speak English. But they're friendly enough and if you know what you want you can make it happen. It's really a remarkable little produce shop. I highly recommend it.

Cute, authentic neighborhood Italian restaurant with somewhat different dishes…read more Came here with a colleague for dinner while we were in Brussels. Fortunately he spoke some French, because the owner/waiter didn't speak any English. The menu was about 8-12 things written on chalkboards and the entire place had a very hole-in-the-wall feel. I got the pappardelle with mushrooms, bacon and blueberries, which was quite good and different. I wouldn't have thought to pair blueberries there and while it didn't blow me away, it was really good and different. The mozzarella with vegetables appetizer we shared was also quite yummy. As you might expect in Belgium, they also had good, inexpensive wine.

I ordered 7 pizzas, asked for them to be precut, and received friendly service in English, which was an added bonus for some of us less fluent in French. I arrived a the scheduled time, and the pizzas were hot and ready. When I brought them to the team, everyone agreed that they were super delicious. The one down side was that parking is not easy in that location, but fortunately I brought a colleague with me and was able to drive around. The crust on the pizza was a huge hit with all the colleagues.

This could have been so great, the restaurant is beautiful and the menu looks great. Unfortunately…read morethe rest of the night didn't quite live up to expectations. The burratta as a starter was great, but instead of giving us time to finish the waiter took away plates from each person as soon as they finished. That pattern continued, instead of the table receiving our food at the same time our plates came to the table over the 15 minuets so the first food got cold. When we actually tasted the food most of it was bland and lacked salt. So the venue is great but the execution lacks greatly

What a shame... Another place that had the potential to be…read moregreat but rated poorly due to the total lack of HYGIENE, service and flavour. Not to mention the wine list that is mediocre. Most food like the fresh pastas (raviolis etc. are from a bag and just covered with tomato passata from a jar and placed in oven with some cheese) totally bland and of no interest what so ever. The rest of the food like the fish and meats are prepared by the chefs with their hands. Yes, they do wear gloves, but also use their handed gloves in which they have wiped nose, sneezed, etc. to touch and turn the food they are cooking! The dried pasta bags are stored on the kitchen floor. The chef will also ask you to keep your cutlery from your starters for your main by saying: "Comme a la maison - like at home" If one has to keep his cutlery in the restaurant like at home, why go to a restaurant? BTW I change my cutlery at home ;-) And the best is yet to come, when one of the kitchen attending took out the bresaola that was in a sealed bag, he noticed the date was overdue (this in a place that has just opened) and notified the chef. Who, opened the bag, smelled the meat and said it was ok to serve! Another place with high standards, NOT! If you want to take the risk and go avoid sitting at the bar or just best AVOID!

The mussels are fresh and flavorful, and you can't help but slurp, I mean scoop up, some of the cream and garlic sauce in between each mussel. The other items are not bad, but nothing to write home about: Flemish beef stew, meatballs in tomato sauce, or even mussels with plain white wine (1 star off). Overall, Le Bistro is a good...bistro...option for some local foods.

They serve a generous portion of cheese (Parmesan or emmental) on top of the pasta. You can add meatballs (veggies or meat) for a little extra charge. We did enjoyed our dinner so much!
