    The best mussels I’ve ever had, authentic Belgian food, and nice lady (maybe she’s the owner?) I’d come back!

    Very good food and great value for money. The waiters were also very nice and polite, however there was only two of them and the service was somewhat slow. I would definitely come back.

    Wow! Everything was amazing, the beer, appetizers, main dishes, desserts, service, and atmosphere. This may be the best meal we have had in Belgium. It was certainly the best service. There are lots of great restaurants in Brussels, but this one should most definitely be on your short list.

    Awesome food. Genuine Belgian. Everything we ordered was delicious. Very welcoming service. Ambience is plain and simple. but the food certainly makes up for that.

    The small restaurant was suprising! We were a party of 10 people and he service waas good although another group of the same size was also present. The food was very good, the mussels were excellent (only the spicy ones are really spicy!). Very good selection of fine Belgian beers. Will come again!

    We were looking for a place that was a little bit removed from the activity of the old town and found this restaurant. The menu seemed simple, but everything was incredibly tasty. I loved the Vol au Vent. My husband had the beef stew, which was also delicious. We enjoyed our dinner very much.

    Our favourite restaurant of the trip! The owner/staff are so full of character and welcoming. It felt far more local than many of the other restaurants in the busier part of town and also more reasonably priced. Would highly recommend for a relaxed, local, friendly experience! Thank you for making our last night in Brussels so special!

    Atmosphere was okay, service was friendly. But the food was awful! Way too expensive for what it’s worth. You’re better off going to a place that has a lunch day menu (3-course). which is the same price you would pay for a main here but not worth it. They say fries is Belgian but you get the typical fries from a fast food ( which might even has better fries than this restaurant, they don’t serve the typical Belgian ones). There were a lot of super tiny (literally 1-2cm) double-fry pieces too. I saw the other tables barely even touched their food. The beef stew itself was not good at all.

    The service was really nice. We were eating really fast and we did not notice lack of attention. We are going to be a few days so maybe we will repeat.

    Excellent belgian food. Mix of tourists and locals. Family owned restaurant-one server for all tables- funny server but understaffed resulting in slow service.

    One of my favorite stops in Brussels! Mussels and frites were awesome paired with a great Belgium Beer. Perfect lunch! Made a reservation through the Fork and was given a window table. This place is so clean and minimalistic in decor, it makes for a nice dining experience. The couple working were very friendly as well.

    Located at the heart of Brussels, but off the Main Street and is very quiet. Could enjoy typical Belgian foods with good selection of Belgian beers. Whenever I have guests from outside of Belgium, I’ll take them here!
