    Great Food in quality and taste, however a little small in size,. Quite lricy without the discount and considering the dish size. However the ffos itself is great! The service is a little slow, however they seemed to have technical issues that night which occupied the waiters. Overall would come again with the Fork-discount.

    Very nice place with cosy ambiance, lots of people, very crowded. Constantly having to move from my seat to give people access to go to the toilets. Good food but very slow service. We had tapas and dessert and it took over 2,5 hours.

    We had Portuguese-style octopus that contained an excessive amount of vinegar and was almost frozen. The bread, which had been defrosted at the time, was still half frozen.

    The staff was friendly, but the tapas were overpriced for the quality of ingredients and the quantity of food you are getting. The wine is also over-priced for the quality you are getting. The decor is really outdated and could really use a re-touch.

    Service could have been more polite. Several times, we had to wait and, when I went to ask the waiter, was sent back immediately to the table, to wait there. Also, did not propose the réduction of 20% I had through the Fork.

    Sure! 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!
