We ended up here for dinner prior to attending a futbol game. I very quickly became overwhelmed…read morewith the lack of consistency in the menu posted outside the restaurant and the one we were provided inside in addition to the language barrier. While the outdoor menu has 15+ pasta dishes the one we were given inside had only 5. Again, due to the language barrier we ordered off of those few in the indoor menu and while they were tasty, the ham in the carbonara was quite chewy and the bolognese was rather loose.

The servers were pleasant. I ordered a shrimp pasta dish with indian curry creamy based sauce. My sister ordered a chicken pasta dish with olive oil based sauce. Both were spectacular in flavor, and pretty hefty portions. We took leftovers back with us. Finding a large portion meal is difficult in Europe, but this place did the trick. They have mostly Italian food but some other dishes for those who are looking for alternative items on the menu.

This must be my favorite spaghetti restaurant in the world. It is so Brussels. They pretty much…read moreonly serve spaghetti and drinks. With drinks I mean: good Belgian beer and nice wines. Don't expect a fancy place. It's more a café that also serves food. It's always rather busy, if you come just before opening time there are always people lining up in the street to get in. They're open late so very convenient if you want to grab a bite after watching a movie or so. They have spaghetti Bolognese, spaghetti with some kind of sea food (I think) and a vegetarian version with veggies. There's always freshly grated cheese served with the spaghetti. The regular plate is pretty big. They also serve a big size which is in my eyes a plate that can serve a family :-) This restaurant is also called "bij Pee Klak". When we're in the area we love to go there!

There is an extremely limited menu. The Bolognaise was ok but I have had better. They do not take…read morecredit cards as Yelp suggests.

We arrived to this place late but the owner stayed open for us and even discussed with us a bit about different topics and about his life. You are here "chez Wodek" a very interesting gentleman from south (wild part) of Poland. There is a museum that I could not visit but I will certainly come back to see it. The outdoor seating is very relaxed and it gives you a feel of being in a very chilled place in Berlin or in one of these bars/ruins you encounter in Budapest. Very nice atmosphere, wish more places like this one existed in Brussels. Prices are ridiculously cheap. I will be for sure back.

Nous organisons 3 à 4 expositions par an dans nos bâtiments ou dans d'autres institutions, tant belges qu'étrangères. Ces expositions sont organisées selon 3 axes principaux, à savoir: thématiques, confrontatives ou personnelles (rétrospectives). Ces évènements sont accompagnés par la publication d'importants catalogues quadrilingues richement illustrés ainsi que de cartes postales d'art. Un café-restaurant "polonais" offre aux visiteurs la possibilité de se désaltérer et de se restaurer, dans un cadre singulier. Les bénéfices résultant de son exploitation servent à l'auto-financement des autres activités de l'Atelier 340. Une gestion indépendante permet une ouverture en dehors des heures d'exposition.
