Hopefully for a long time, because I want to taste fresh bread while sitting down with a friend. Le Pain Quotidien.... the name just sounds like fresh bread! Anyways, from what I could have, (fresh apple juice & Belgian chocolate muffin) I can tell this place has real potential. It's beautifully situated in Sablon (one of the nicest neighborhoods in Brussels). It's sought after because a few moments after it opened there already was a queue... Now for the food... it was good, but I can't say it was mind blowing. Was it because it was cold outside that day? Who'll know? I will definitely give it a try again & have a full brunch to see if the weather and the restaurant experience makes a difference on the food's taste. In conclusion: yes, go ahead give it a try! Especially if you're fond of nice neighborhoods, be mindful that the prices fit the neighborhoods' niceness.

I loved the burger and the accompanying fries, and even the side salad was good. Across our table, we must have gotten every dish on the brunch menu, and everyone was extremely happy with their food. The ingredients tasted very fresh, and the chef made some interesting and unexpected flavor combinations. So why only three stars? This place had the most horrendously rude service I've ever experienced in Brussels, and that's a high bar. We were yelled at collectively as a group, because we ended up having three extra people show up. Organizing big group events is hard enough without a server yelling at you, and they seemed very upset to have the extra business of three people. Several of us were yelled at separately, me for being in the server's way while waiting in line to pay, another for asking the status of the coffee she'd been waiting 20 minutes for, and several others for various things that should not have been issues at all. There were a few cases where the servers mixed up the orders or brought out dishes nobody had ordered, and they got mad at our table for that as well. Despite the inexcusable service, I would still consider going back, either by myself or maybe with one other person, in hopes that we would get better treatment. The food was that good.

I went there with two friends for the brunch on Saturday. We tried the oriental and French brunch. Very filling and tasty. The service is also excellent and very friendly. One of my friends being pregant and having some food allergies, they adapted the menu without complaining and for a very good price. I would highly recommend this place and will defenitely go back to try different brunches and check their lunch menu as well.

After seeing so many yummy pictures of supra healthy food i had to come and see it with my own eyes.... and i'm definitely not disappointed! i just came for coffee and cake for a 1st test... and whoop whoop!!

Everything has this neat and at the same time sophisticated presentation. staff is nice and friendly, my Walnuts and coffee cake was very tasty, and the carrot cake of my friend was heavenly delicious. can't wait to taste the other sweets and also the Brunch. even though it might be full when you arrive, you don't have to wait much to get a spot.

Even so, I do not want to miss the chance to rave about some of the items we picked up for our travel back to the UK. This place is around the corner from our hotel and we didn't go in until our last day, just before heading to the train station to begin our journey back. We grabbed a few items for the ride: a few delicious, flûte aux olives and mini gratiné feta olives. We also got our meaty friend one of these mini gratiné with some sausage in it. No idea if it was good, but ours were delicious. They were not even warmed up and were simply perfect. The staff was kind and helpful. I will be thinking about these for a long time to come and will 100% make a special trip to this place to try other items should I return to Brussels some day. My only regret is that we did not come in here sooner.

Items Selected: Triple Chocolate Bread…read moreChocolate Snail Pear Tart Cherry Tart Apricot Cream Pastry Double Baked Almond Croissant Single Baked Almond Croissant Located on Place Eugene Flagey, a location more rapidly accessible by foot during the morning rush than it is by car, La Fleur du Pain is another of those 'locals only' sorts of bakeries where lines move fast and English is limited, a 7h00 Friday arrival finding a queue of about a dozen with the doors having just opened. Somewhere in the middle of the pack as relates to variety, the choices on all sides not 'limited' but alo not as vast as Patisserie de Baere or Le Saint Aulaye, those arriving at La Fleur du Pain during early morning hours are likely to find breads and viennoiserie still warm from the oven and although Pastry selections apparently expand by midday, there are still several including some larger format options ready for take-away. On par for price to other local artisans, the seven items purchased just under €17, paying attention proves beneficial at La Fleur du Pain as there are not one, but two, styles of Almond Croissant offered, the single baked version wispy like a traditional Croissant aux Beurre while the other was sliced and filled with almond paste with a crown of even more sliced nuts toasted on with frangipane, both great with the choice as to which was better really a personal sort of thing. Showing a good degree of butter by way of the escargot coiled around melting bits of Dark Chocolate, La Fleur du Pain continues to shine when it comes to the use of Fresh Fruits over laminated all-butter pastry in any number of shapes, the Apricot version perhaps a bit soggy by way of cream while both Tarts were textbook with edges slightly charred. Known for their breads, a whole loaf wasteful for just one with a few smaller sizes available, it was on the recommendation of a middle-aged woman standing in line that a small "Triple Chocolate" roll was selected, the texture something like that of a rustic country loaf speckled with Dark and Milk Chocolate pieces while the crumb itself infused with infused with unsweetened cocoa allowing bitter notes to balance the sweetness.

I go there often and I kind of already know they are gonna be terribly disorganized and slow. However for 8.75eur for an excellent dish, that is ok.

Spaghetti bolo for breakfast? Hell yeah!…read more After a morning jaunt through the flea market where I snatched up a fab porcelain pastry plate for 2E, my local host suggested a mid-morning snack at this 100% authentic Belgian café. As soon as we walked through the door my heart started to flutter. The wood paneled restaurant with its large central Zinc bar, gruff but friendly waiters, formica table tops with little napkin dispensers looks like it hasn't budged in 50 years. In a word: adorable! After examining the menu thoroughly I settled on the house specialty of spaghetti bolo and a café russe to wash it all down. An incongruous blend, I know, but hey, in a 24hr Belgian diner anything goes. Needless to say the bolo was like nothing I've ever had. Served over slightly overcooked vermicelli and topped with grated gruyere, the peppery, chunky bolognaise sauce had a regressive, quirky, heartiness to it that made the whole dish super fun to eat. If I lived in BXL I could see La Clef d'Or becomming a regular post flea market spot.

I went up to the bartender twice asking if I could order at the bar but was told to wait so I did. On the upside there is free wifi (no password) and plenty of seating-indoors and outdoors. The staff seem to cater to mostly locals and in my opinion tend to disregard foreigners. I was only noticed when I entered and was told to throw my food away. That did not even upset me, it was the fact that the bartender had enough time to tell me to do this but couldn't simply ask someone to get me a beer? I ordered a barbar, a local beer my tour guide suggested. Its bottled and is a blonde brew with only 8% it foams like crazy and tastes slightly metallic, but I think that's most beers.
