10/10An exquisite fine dining adventure, perfect for a romantic date. We really enjoyed the 6 service menu and we did not realize that nearly 3 h passed. Service and food impeccable. Adequate prices for the service provided. An ideal place for special occasions at the heart of Brussels.

10/10Exquisite 6 course menu. Gorgeous presentation, well balanced sauces and delightful course of fish including seabream and birch as well as expertly prepared free range chicken. Service was responsive, friendly and knowledgeable. Spacing was well placed and lighted, creating a cozy overall atmosphere.

10/10A lovely venue, elegant and quiet. Young attentive staff made our evening very enjoyable. We took the 4 course menu for 95 euros. Each dish, 3 fish and 1 dessert was excellent. You can have wine by the glass and a one off price for water that was poured all evening. A delicious amuse bouche, excellent coffee, a real treat.

10/10The food and service were fantastic. Our table was on the 1st floor (above the ground floor) which was good because it was very quiet, but we hope we could've experienced the lively main dinning room. We need to come back again when we are more hungry, as both my wife any I could not finish the main dish due to late lunch and big portion. What a pity!

5.5/10This was very disappointing. We had booked for the Michelin experience which was supposed to be a seafood based menu with Lobster and other treats. We had also stated allergies in advance. On arrival, we were given a table where one diner was on a banquette, unfortunately this also meant they were right on top of the large space between cushions, so we moved our table sideways. How no one has ever noticed this is beyond belief. Anyway, we proceeded with a starter and it soon became obvious that it contained chillies, one of the allergies. Upon asking the waiter, he went to the kitchen and returned to say, No there weren't any chillies in it. We insisted and off he toddled again only to return to say sorry, there were. That's it, tough. As for the main course, it turned out to be Duck, so what happened to the Michelin menu, you may well ask, well we'd given up. on that, in fact we never saw a menu at all Meanwhile, it seemed obvious to us that the whole place seemed like a staff training school with things forgotten and insecure waiters. Dessert turned out to be a Paris-Brest, which was ridiculously inedible and could have been used as a hockey puck. It was obvious that we were by no means alone in being unable to even cut the pastry, as people sat tapping it with their cutlery. We complained and the waitress laughed and said she'd tell the chef. Got the bill, no apologies, nothing and as we don't like to cause a fuss we tried to leave. As people who've been dining in Belgium & Brussels for 30 or so years this had to be one of the worst meals we've ever had. Avoid at all costs.

8.5/10A Brussels classic pricy but best oysters and croquettes. Only minus you don't charge €28 for for asparagus ...service is charming and impeccable . I was sad because I could get some Zélande oyster on that day but I had some smoked eels.

10/10Dont be fooled by the lacklustre exterior of the restaurant, this is a jewel in the Brussels culinary crown. Whilst we were disappointed not to have secured our requested booth the staff went into overdrive to compensate. Food was excellent, service impeccable and ambiance intimate. We will return on our next trip to Brussels

6/10I have eaten at the resturant many times over the past 25 years with fond memories of great sea food and vibrant atmosphere. So after some ten years decided to dine there again during my trip to Brussels. Unfortnately the lady has not aged well; faciliies were tired, carpets dirty and the food was mondane. As a single guest I was relegated to an empty second floor dining room. I am left with fond memories of a previous times
