    The place is nice but not very comfortable depending where you are sitting. There is a lot of noise and a bit of a humidity smell. The food is very tasty but prices are too high for the portions and the quality, with the the fork discount we got the fair price imho.

    Food was below average, especially for the prices they have.

    They enforce a minimum drink spend per person in order to benefit from the Fork discount which is not made clear beforehand. Service was a scam - she asked me “and would you like salad or fries with that?” so I obviously thought it was included with the dish (which would be normal given what I ordered and the €21 price) but they charged me nearly €5 for the pathetic side salad I didn’t touch. They put down fries on our table - again, presumed it was included with the dish - we started tucking in and then the waitress came and removed them without a word. When questioned, she said she made a mistake and fries weren’t included. At that point, just accept the mistake and leave them on the table…

    The food was very cosy and heart warming, I'm so glad we chose this restaurant to try some traditional food. The staff was really friendly and spoke perfect English, and the whole experience was really nice!

    Bit of a tourist trap. Food very average and rather small portions, service friendly but disorderly. A plate of Ardennes specialties for instance is just some ordinary cheese (only one kind and very generic) and a couple of sliced sausages. Maybe ok for youngish, large groups but not a experience we're going to repeat.

    Arrived at 20:00, ordered some drinks and a Charcuterie board from a very friendly waiter who said it was his second night working there. Starter arrived quite quickly and was served to us by the same waitress who had served us the night before in the restaurant next door (first red flag). The Charcuterie board was literally just a bunch of chopped up sausages piled onto a plank of wood (second red flag), enough for maybe 4 people. We left about a third of it otherwise we weren’t going to have space for our mains, I wish we’d finished it while it was fresh. I’d ordered a stew and my wife some meatballs both with chips. After clearly having finished with the Charcuterie for about half an hour, the same waiter from the start asked if we were done and wanted a to-go bag and then asked if we were waiting on something else (third red flag). Cut to 21:30 and our mains arrived, only to find the chips were akin to something from a school canteen and my wife’s meatballs were literally cold in the middle. My stew was edible but entirely uninteresting. I finished quickly and we left not long afterwards. Thankfully they removed my wife’s dish off the menu without any argument. Atmosphere was fun, and the locals were clearly enjoying the music, but the food service was terrible. Maybe worth a visit if you want some beers and something to snack on, but absolutely would not recommend as a restaurant.

    Unfortunately half of the menu was not available. No blood sausage,no frog legs , etc. There was a problem with the kitchen.

    We're really sorry. We had some major ordering problems and had to make do with what we had. We sincerely hope that you'll come back and give us a second chance.

    Only in Brussels for one night and picked this brilliant little place for some atmosphere and traditional food. The staff were really kind with our bad attempts at speaking French and the food was super fast and delicious! Make sure to get the charcuterie board and the goats cheese fondue ????

    Well, we were not lucky, perhaps, because we got there at 21.58 (exactly at the time of the our booking). The waiter said the kitchen was closed while, through "Fork", we could select the 22h slot! The waiter then said that, exceptionally, the kitchen would close slightly later and that we could take a table. The tables at the end of the room are VERY VERY hot (I had read it in other reviews). There was one conditioner ON, facing the opposite table than ours, and pushing hot air towards us. It was the end of the day, the waiter was clearly tired. Moreover, there was a Music Quiz night, with very loud music (and people participating to the quiz seemed to enjoy and have fun). The Americain and the Carbonnade were fine, the pavet de saumon less so, as it came with very scant salad. Similarly, don't choose the burger, one of worst in town: small, dry, with plastic-like bread. Also, I've never paid so much for an Orval. I'll try another "Belgian" restaurant next time around.

    We waited 25 min to order and nobody came asking for the order. Additionally, other persons came later and ordered first. After 25 min waiting we left the restaurant without consuming nothing It was too noisy too.

    The food was pretty good. We went during lunch and was the only ones there. Staff was super nice but was a bit disappointed when we said we don’t want drinks with out food, they said we needed to get water at least so we did (ended up being 7 euros), which felt a little bit sneaky.

    Suggestion from the crew was impeccable for the palate. Wine and Cognac the best of the brand. Delicious dessert and an awesome ambience. Will come back soon!

    Nice atmosphere, to go with a group of friends. The service was ok, a bit slow. The food was among the worst I have had in my life. I guess it’s a nice place to grab a drink and listen to some 80s music with friends, but if you want to have some good food stay miles away.

    The karaoke was fun, with everyone singing together . I thought the beef stew was amazing, so rich and flavoursome with fall apart beef. The meatballs were unremarkable. The waffles a little crispy and had a slightly meaty taste.

    The service was kind but so slow. It took 2 hours to have an overcooked hamburger, and some of the meals were out. We are for a sparkling water bottle that never arrived. We choose based on the ratings on trip advisor and The Fork, but they were false. Certainly the worst restaurant on our trip to Brussels. It's mentioned that they accepted AMERICAN express but that was not true

    Location is amazing and food was tasty! But be aware it can be loud so you do not get a restaurant vibe but more a pub/brasserie atmosphere. Other than that it is really well decorated and staff is great!
