This restaurant is a hidden pearl. The modest outside hides charming ambience and the friendly personnell gives excellent service. Beautifully plated dishes.

Not recommended. Pluses: very friendly service, nice style of interior, you feel nice there. Neutral: main course was fried sea bream with seasonal vegetables. It was fine but not smth interesting. Fish was a bit undercooked for my taste, but not a big deal. Dessert was the best dish out of all. It was not heavy as it might seem. But again lack of flavours, instead of chocolate ice cream they could add more pears or other fruits. Minuses: two starters were awful. First was Hering with tomato and green beans. Hering was with small bones, a tail and pieces of scale. Tomato was plastic like from a cheap supermarket. It was not to pleasant eat at all. I had to return a dish after two bites. Second starter was white fish with red paper sauce and eggplant caviar. Better than the first one but taste was not balanced, fish was overcooked. Overall impression - the menu was not a good value, surprised that this restaurant is included in the Michelin Guide. Hope their dinner menu is much better

The service was impeccable exactly as you would expect from a Michelin recommended restaurant. The food was prepared perfectly and the flavor of profiles spit on. The the only thing not fitting with the first 3 courses was dessert while the sorbet was tasty overall presentation was underwhelming

Friendly service. Limited offer of fish. Overpriced dishes considering the quality . Small portions . Fish should be served with some salad or grilled veggies

One of the best „fish” restaurants

An 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.

+4Exquisite 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.

Everything went well and food was good. However, the price on The Fork App said 119€ per Menu. Price at the Restaurant was 175€ per Menu.

A 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.

The 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!

This 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.
