10/10Sure! Here’s an English review for Les Pénates: Les Pénates in Ixelles is a hidden gem near Flagey, offering a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The decor is charming, with vintage tiles and warm lighting that create a relaxed vibe. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. Their menu features a variety of tapas, vegetarian options, and homemade dishes that pair perfectly with their impressive selection of organic and natural wines. The service is excellent—attentive, friendly, and welcoming. They also have a covered and heated garden at the back and a small terrace at the front, making it a great spot year-round. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy delicious food, great wine, and exceptional service, Les Pénates is highly recommended!

10/10We are an English couple with very little knowledge of Brussels as a whole. We were extremely happy with the service in particular, our waiter recommended our tapas dishes and we were not disappointed. Drinks were great value and food was of high quality.

7/10I booked a reservation for one. The experience was below average compared to the other restaurants I ate at in Brussels. As a solo traveler, I felt a little unwelcome here - likely due to the shockingly rushed service, short wine pours, and lack of friendliness from the staff. I normally embrace the lack of an English menu or any service in English, but when combined with the other elements of the service in this experience, it was just so unpleasant to be in this restaurant. Not to mention, they originally tried to seat me directly next to the front door at unquestionably the worst table in the 90% empty restaurant, on a pretty cold and wet day where I would be uncomfortable for my entire meal for no real reason since there were a dozen other empty tables. The food was also nothing special in my opinion - my two dishes arrived at the same time, one barely warm and the other boiling hot, which further underscores the lack of care and concern they put into my meal. They were also out of the thing I was most interested in ordering (mushroom toasts). I passed on dessert so that I could go somewhere else and end my night at a business that actually wanted me there, which wasn't at all difficult to do. I found the rest of Brussels warm and friendly, and I loved my time there, minus this one experience.
