    Pitta gyros and pitta falafel
    Mike A.

    The pittas and plates are both great options. I personally prefer the plate. Their tzatziki pairs really well with their meats. The meat itself is freshly sliced from the vertical skewers, juicy and full of flavor. Service is usually very quick

    Amazing Falafel dish.

    Great service, great food and it felt like I was in Athens! Typical Greek ambiance. Loved it!

    4.5 stars overall. The food had amazing flavors and the staff was just so nice! The drinks were good too! I loved this place and I would definitely recommend! The price is good for the quality of the food! Came around 98 euros for 8 people.

    Assiette Maison
    Stephen C.

    During my recent vacation to Europe this summer, I had an overnight layover in Brussels. No better way to take advantage than with a night out in the city. After burning a few calories exploring the Grand Place area, I stumbled upon Rue du Marché aux Fromage, home to a few Greek restaurants side by side. I decided to go with Plaka and am so glad I did! The Assiette Maison came with extremely generous portions - exactly what I needed after walking around beautiful Brussels all afternoon. The area was quite busy and lively on a Saturday night as most of their seating is outdoors (directly in front of the restaurant as well as across the street). Would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area! Be sure to have some Euros on hand though as they are cash only...

    Gyros with mixed veg for pita or gyros and fries, about 8 a piece
    Lucas W.

    There are a ton of Greek or Mediterranean restaurants along the street but I'm glad we went to Plaka. It was a good sized portion of gyros and came with a bunch veggies. My wife got the gyros with fries which was good but lacking the veggies to stuff into a pita. It came with one pita per order but I got the sense we could've asked for more. €8 per plate, single pita was less Service was fairly quick tho once we got food our server kinda disappeared - we were outside and he seemed to have gotten pulled elsewhere. As a result I never got my baklava but I was full and wasn't charged for it so no big deal.

    The best Greek food we've had in years!! Nothing else to say. Going back again for the second time in two days.

    Delicious!!!

    The is a must try spot in Brussels fresh delicious Greek food! All the staff is Greek and they are all so friendly and the food is delicious!! Good portions packed with flavor and decent prices. The small is very small but has plenty of seating and it was very clean. The falafel pita was delicious!! Also the hummus is a mUst have so fresh and delicious

    4 euro for this much needed beer.

    I just got into town and was looking for something close to the hotel. I ended up here based on the reviews and wasn't disappointed. I had the mixed plate which was an astonishing amount of food for thought price tag. The food came quickly, was well prepared, fresh and delicious. The service was curt and quick which I appreciated. The place is small, rather loud and seemingly very busy...all great signs of a place you should go. Thank you for a welcoming and wonderful meal for a weary travler.

    Mixed plate

    This place sits in a row of Greek restaurants just behind the main square. A bit seedy maybe and very touristy. Thus, the fresh, tasty food and good service at Plaka came as a huge positive surprise. Large plates of Greek food and quality beers (Leffe, Duvel, Hoegaarden), for really friendly prices; draft pilsener for 2 euro anyone? And, specialty beers for 3-3.50! Only negative was the very obvious smell of (burnt?) oil throughout the place. Some new / improved exhaust system would be nice.

    Excelent food at good prices in the heart of Brussels. If you happen to get hungry in grand place and you have a taste for Greek cuisine this is the spot for you. Recommended dish assiette maison ;)

    If you want a late night Gyros, this is the place to go!

    If you want a late night Gyros, this is the place to go! Friendly service and very fast! So you won't have to wait long to get your tummy filled

    Best page on menu.

    It's where families go. Look around at the other places. No kids. Plaka has a following. If they would just dare to make outside non smoking. It's tiny and tight and the smoke was bad. Next time inside for some good simple real food. Friendly staff too. Good prices for the quality and quantity.

    As one of my dining companions said: "If I wanted dog food covered in meal sauce, I would have…read moreordered that!" Please, let me explain. It was a rainy day in Brussels and we needed to eat and get dry. Looking for reasonably priced mussels we found Le Grec. It really is adorable, but a bit corny in its decor. My husband ordered mussels, which were advertised on the outside. Sorry, the waitress said, we are out of mussels! Say what? No problem though. We all love gyros and they were on the menu. They did not come in a pita, the usual way we get them in the States. We are open to cultural differences, so we thought, why not as a platter. We all 3 ordered them and some water. Sorry, she said, we don't have water! Say what what?? The meal arrived. We were all looking for the strips of seasoned meat grilled vertically and cut very thin. What we had was a plate with lovely fries, a salad drenched in what we took to calling "meal sauce" and some tiny brown nuggets that were reminiscent of dry dog food, with some more meal sauce over them. Next to that was a pickled hot pepper with a different variety of meal sauce. On occasion, if you chewed and breathed at the same time, there was a slight taste that hinted of gyros. Otherwise, it was just nuggets in meal sauce. Disappointing.

This location is at the center of a lot of the major tourist attractions and is therefore great if you're looking for a quick, on-the-go breakfast or lunch without having to sit down (though that is still an option). Panos is a chain bakery/sandwich shop and was recommended by one of the aunties. Stuff you can find here includes sandwiches, wraps, soups, sweet and savory pastries, individual loaves and rolls, salads, coffee, and hot chocolate. Super basic, but high-quality stuff compared to a lot of other chain bakery places we saw as we traveled through Europe. Some of those sweet pastries were just really fancy looking for what's supposed to apparently be a very basic place, while even the basic stuff tasted really delicious. Their croissants were also super delicious, and I thought the raspberry croissant was particularly interesting. This particular location is on the street branching just off Grote Markt (Grand Place) and just across from the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert's southern entrance. It was near where we were supposed to meet up with our tour group, so we dropped by very quickly to grab some breakfast. My chief memory of that morning was that their waffle honestly made me feel better about the first half of the day.
