Really good

Moderate food quality and staff. Noisy restaurant.. No second time for me.

The service was delivered by people running around, shouting to each other creating a very noisy environment in which to eat and talk to your table mates.!!

We were a big group going there for lunch. The food was very good as always (especially the moules and carbonnades) but we were a bit surprised at the moment of paying the bill as we got told several times by the waiter "the service is not included, the service is not included", which we found weird and a bit uncomfortable honestly. The rest was good as usual.

Great food and wonderful little place to eat some authentic Belgian dishes! We tried the lapin and mussels, both very good and filling, we had escargot as appetizers and gauffre as dessert but it was way too much food 😄

The food is very tasty but service is a bit up and down, we always had to call over a server and they were not cheerful in their work

Relaxed atmosphere, great food

Nice interior and staff and and excellent location. The menu offers some traditional Flemish dishes, which is a nice touch. I had the ham with mustard sauce. The ham was excellently cooked and tasted delicious. The mustard sauce however was cold, and the French fries were mediocre. My partner had the mussels. Excellent choice, but a lot of butter in the sauce. So great location and ambiance, nice and friendly staff, good menu choice but mediocre food.

Terrible food and only took cash

Over-priced, very basic standard of food. It was at least warm - so better than standing in the pouring rain.

A warning that the Grimbergen Cafe does not accept Mastercard or Visa. The only cards it will accept are Bancontact and Maestro - otherwise you need to pay in cash. We'd booked as a group for an evening dinner and had to leave when we realised that most of us would have no way to pay. In 2025 and in a tourist area, this is very poor service.

We went there to experience some local beer and Belgian favourites. We had the mussels and fries and flemmish stew. The mussels were Delish and the stew was incredibly good (and perfect on a rainy December evening). Would go there again in heartbeat.

We live in Europe and travel a lot around the continent. This was the first place in three years plus that I’ve felt willfully ignored. The food was OK. The place is well kept. The service was in my opinion below average.

One of the best mussel and stewed beef!

Didn't accepted credit or debit card. They suggested us to go a ATM machine. Prices overrated....Moules at 28 euros. We left immediatly.
7.0
Pleasant location, decent service, but the food average, the ham was a large hock, in a lot of mustard sauce, one part was borderline under cooked, served with just mash. The goats cheese salad was pretty basic with the goats cheese wrapped in a bacon like arrangement not with lardons. The Cote du Rhône wine was good. Overall Slightly over priced for what it was. Service was decent

The food was pretty bad. I ordered a hamburger, and the quality of the meat was very poor, the flavor was bad. There was also a person at the bar who looked like the owner of the place, and he spent the whole time smoking cannabis. Although it's allowed, the smell was very strong. Miso should take care of that. Abrir en Google Traductor

The food was good. My husband and I both had moules frites. The waiters were not very attentive and ignored us at times. Even though I speak French they spoke English even though I told the servers that I spoke French. I felt the prices of both the food and drinks were high.

Credit cards are not accepted We made a booking, we ate inside because outside no table available and reserved for us and the available table for 4 was left unused. Concerning the food, carbonade was perfect and delicious. It makes no sense to male a reservation Not accepting credit card in this century it is crazy.

They don’t take credit cards. Clearly a tax avoidance scam.

Food is fine; service was terrible. The waiters never checked in after giving us the plates. Staff seemed overtaxed when the place wasn’t full. Further, they don’t accept Visa or Mastercard which is a no-go for a place that’s visited by tourists

When we arrived, we saw a sign at the front of the restaurant that said they do not accept payment by credit or debit card. We did not have cash with us so we left and found someplace else to eat. This information about cash only payment was not on their website nor given to us when we made the reservation.
