10/10I would say that really gave me a positive impression from the moment I opened the door. A courteous man came and showed us to the table in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The waiters were kind and meticoulous. A diverse menu with local dishes was an interesting proposal, though we were delighted with just one. Deserves going back for tasting the rest of the menu!. Great choice.

7.5/10Great food and ambience, a bit slow service - but maybe because it was Saturday night.

8/10Lively spot with more dinners enjoying the nice weather than the nice decor. Great example of a Brussels brasserie with many traditional dishes including mussels which we had. Helpful and friendly staff. Can highly recommend it.

5/10I visited this restaurant pre covid and the choice of mussels was very extensive. This time, the choice was minimal. I had croquettes de crevette as an entree but it was just mushy with no taste. Main course if Carbonnade was tasty and a good portion. Quite expensive in my opinion.

3/10So overpriced! Food was very average but prices and portion size did not reflect this at all. We were shocked with the low quality of the food compared to how much they charge for everything.

4/10We were so disappointed by this place. And the service was fine (not really good, not really bad, but ok). The location is nice with the outdoor seating looking out into the little square. But it's basically like one of those overpriced tourist restaurants where the food is very basic and bland yet everything is still very expensive because of the location. We had 3 appetisers, 3 entrees and a bottle of wine. Everything was just bad. So so bad, completely flavourless and way overpriced. We left and ordered more food at another restaurant in the Rue Saint-Boniface area. Go over there instead. Don't waste your time here if you want any flavour or value for money.

6.5/10Classic Belgian brasserie, nice decor, friendly staff. Food is on average, like other similar places. Overall ok. The entrecôte was a bit disappointing tough.

8/10Good wine, good food, but the service could be improved. Unfortunately, female server #1 didn't seem that interested in serving us. Female server #2 helped but forgot to put our order in for 15-20min - but she did push our order through eventually. The ambience on a WED night was lively and the decor makes you feel like you're in a traditional establishment.

6.5/10Not the best moules I’ve had, and the music didn’t fit the environment at all. But the service was good, and the location is nice as well. Will not return.

10/10It is a classic Belgian brasserie with excellent food and good wines. The atmosphere in winter or summer is charming and lively. It is also well positioned in the centre of Brussels and the heart of Ixelles.

6/10Staff were correct. The only two indications which we gave, blue salmon and no fries, came completely the opposite. Felt like nobody really listened..

9/10The restaurant was full for New Years Eve. Traditional Belgian food of very high quality. The hot crumble with berries for dessert is to die for!

7.5/10as much we appreciate the efforts they made to get a table outside and make sure we had a great time, the quality does not match the price. It was much too expensive. we will never go back there. sorry.

9.5/10Food was fantastic, service impeccable but our table neighbours were very loud… obviously not the fault of the restaurant though, one of pur favorites in Brussels. We will be back soon.

4/10The waiter was realy unfriendly! He asked a 10 years old kid if he wanted ketchup or Mayonaise... And the kid asked back: Is ther bbq sauce... You don't have to answer: this is a restaurant not a snackbar! For sure not if i just send my food back because it was cold!

6.5/10Beautiful building. They have outdoor tables but the terrace was crowded so we opted to sit inside. The tables were somewhat dpaced out. Waiters were mostly wearing masks but removed them occasionally. The food was ok, the atmosphere nice. It was a bit overpriced for the quality.

9.5/10Typical Belgian food in a wonderful location. Lots of tables in the outdoor terrace with plenty of space, ideal for these Covid times. The food is very yummy and hearty and the staff friendly and polite.

4.5/10The food was good, but nothing special. Decor is nice, traditional Belgium. The service was extremely slow. We waited 40 min for a menu! The waiters are very polite, but they do not pay attention to what is happening at the tables. Difficult to get their attention.

5.5/10We have been going to Volle Gas for years but found the food disappointing the last 2 times: sloppy croquettes, sadly seasoned tartare, weak fries, overcooked mussels. The steak was good though. The desserts uninspiring. The ambiance remains very nice (a typical wooden-panelled Brussels brasserie) and the service was good. Still, a mediocre and over-priced experience.

7.5/10The service was slow - I had to ask several times for a glass of wine and still it took a while. Otherwise, it was just fine. The menu was varied and tempting

8.5/10High quality Belgian dishes at a reasonable price. We were unfortunate as we booked late and ended up at a table in the middle of the aisle with waiters running around us all the time. Apart from that, highly recommend!

8.5/10A visit to Volle Gas. As always very pleasant. I brought a group of international friends and they were all well impressed by the food and authentic Brussels atmosphere.

9.5/10Wonderful little gem outside of the touristy areas! Food was great and service very kind. We had to wait for our table and were given a complimentary glass of prosecco as compensation. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the city!
