    Not our first time at this restaurant. The service is excellent, but the food quality has degraded. Maybe, just unlucky day

    We 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.

    There was a long wait for our table, +/- 25 min. No fault of the staff, who were very kind and speedy afterwards

    I 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.

    We celebrated my wife’s birthday here and they really made it a special night! We loved it. We had (mostly) vegetarian tapas, which were excellent. Very nice Portuguese red wine, too. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Couldn’t have been a better night!

    Portions quiet small for 9-10euros/dish. But I always used to have this place as a drink and bite place. Choosing just a main dish has become more attractive today but options are limited to 3-4 meat dishes.

    Tapas restaurant with options of main dishes. The ambiance is very packed and difficult to breathe. The food is OK so is the service. But nothing special.
