10/10The 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!

10/10We 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.

10/10Our 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!

4.5/10Atmosphere 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.

10/10This little restaurant was just what we needed. Really good, warm, home cooked Belgium dishes, and owners at this restaurant make you feel especially welcome. I would definitely go back.

10/10This is one of the best places if you value good food at reasonable prices with friendly and efficient service, and great atmosphere. It's a little away from the tourist traps and has a really authentic feel. Great for an evening out with friends.

10/10The 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.

7/10Excellent belgian food. Mix of tourists and locals. Family owned restaurant-one server for all tables- funny server but understaffed resulting in slow service.

10/10Big Mama was a wonderful find! It offers some traditional Belgium dishes as well as some classics. Food quality was superb. The owner is very friendly, cheerful and welcoming. You can tell that he really enjoys what he does. It has a good, but not overwhelming selection of Belgium beers, and the house white wine is outstanding! I would highly recommend Big Mama for excellent food, very reasonably priced, with above par service.

10/10One 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.

10/10Located 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!
