    The food was excellent for the price. A small menu but with delicious flavours and lovely presentation. The portions were just right. The fish and chips (not U.K. style bien sur) were very good. The tempura batter on the fish light and tasty. The filet bar was also excellent. The waiters were friendly and helpful. The room is large and lacks atmosphere - but it was a hot summer evening and most people were outdoors. I presume the ambiance will be better when the place is full. At the end of the day it’s the food and service that counts 😎

    Another great find on The Fork! There's a smaller menu 3-6pm but we enjoyed a great, well presented late lunch and the team looked after us really well on our last afternoon in Brussels.

    Excellent food, very creative cocktail menu, tasteful playlist at just the right volume in the background. For some people this place is definitely too quiet, but for those who appreciate a laid back mood it’s perfect.

    The Fifty One is nicely located close to Toison d’or. It’s very cosy with an open fireplace. Their tapas are great! Much recommended!

    Good food but the WORST SERVICE IN 24 years living in Belgium. - the waiter had to take our food twice - had to ask for the bottle of water 3 times - we shared 2 main courses: asked for serving plates which never arrived. Had to wait 20 minutes by the 3 waiter. By the time we ate our food it was ICE COLD - we had to walk up to the waiter to get the Menue for the desert - we had to PAY FOR THE RESTAURANT IN THE HOTEL BAR - we told the waitress the service was not good explained why and they said they DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE THEIR SERVICE ETIQUETTE - WORST SERVICE IN A RESTAURANT IN 24 years in Belgium. DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS PLACE AND SPEND ANY MONEY !!!

    Very nice ambiance and the service was excellent- very friendly and attentive. The wings and Cateaubriand, which we shared for the table was very good, but the gambas were only so so. The cocktails looked great but we stuck to wine, which was from a short but very good list. Overall excellent experience with options for kids as well.

    We were looking all over for a nearby restaurant to our hotel in Brussels Moxy. Tired, we decided to try the 51 at the hotel. What a great choice! Excellent food, excellent staff, excellent decor. So good that when we returned to Brussels a week later, we had dinner here again, it was just as perfect and delicious.

    What a great find. We had a fantastic meal with excellent friendly service. Food quality was superb and if we were staying longer we would definitely be back but unfortunately we're going home tomorrow. Would be nice if there was more than one dairy free dessert but do understand it's not a massive market. Personally wasn't keen on the kiwi dessert but loved the soya latte!

    The Service where very confused and we could not Split the Bill and in the end we did not had a discount and the gambas was counted 3 times instead of 2 times. All in all we lost a lot of money. But food was good.
