5/10We 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.

3.5/10Didn't accepted credit or debit card. They suggested us to go a ATM machine. Prices overrated....Moules at 28 euros. We left immediatly.

7/10Pleasant 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

3.5/10The 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

6.5/10The 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.

6.5/10Credit 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.

2/10They don’t take credit cards. Clearly a tax avoidance scam.

7/10Food 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

2/10When 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.

6.5/10Very nice location on sunny days. The waiters had a lot to do so we had to wait to order. The food also took a while. We orderd the beef well done but it was bloody. The rest of the food was good. The waiters were friendly and in a good mood. It was an ok experience.

9/10The food was excellent, and portion sizes were large. If you're considering a starter, I recommend ordering only one to share with others. The mussels and fries were outstanding. My wife enjoyed the sausage with potatoes. The gravy on this dish was some of the best I've ever tasted. Service could've been a little better, but it wasn't atypical for Europe.

The food was tasty and the server pleasant. The service was a bit slow, but there appeared to be only two servers and a large number of guests. It wasn’t a significant issue, and the food made up for it.

8/10We had a good time, the moules frites were great and portions were big; service was fast and precise. The restaurant is welcoming and relaxed, we were not rushed to order more or leave. It’s touristy, but then again it’s very central and if you choose to go to a place in this area you can’t expect otherwise. I recommend it and I’ll be back.

6.5/10Nice service, but charged an extra 10x when paying. A few bad blueshells in my serving made the day after a loose one.

Good was good, not great. Service is slow. The restaurant does not accept credit cards, but the sign is small and lowly placed. When you try to pay with credit card, then they point to the little sign which is not obvious.

5/10Mussels were not fresh although denied by kitchen. Fries were old, hard, tough. Again denied. Beer good croquettes good service good. Could not eat the meal. I cook mussels myself and have them everywhere. These smelt off and tasted off.

10/10The food, beer, ambiance and service were all top-notch. We especially liked the in-house triple. We traveled to Belgium on a beer pilgrimage, and this was a great find to end our trip!

5.5/10
Be sure to check the bill, this restaurant cheats and adds dishes to the bill that you did not order. When we approached the administration with these questions, we did not receive any explanation. There is cold water in the toilet and no way to dry your hands. There are no towels or hand dryer. I do not recommend this restaurant.
