Fin de Siecle

No telephone. No reservations. No credit cards. Simple place, simple food.

Reviewed By SAPStar

This is a busy restaurant which is popular with students. The portions are a good size and traditional Belgian cuisine. However, it is not particularly cheap and the selection of drinks is not what you would typically expect. It is loud and not very comfortable for an evening.Great if this is what you are looking for, but there are better choices in my view.

I booked this restaurant based on reviews and they weren’t wrong.....this place is soooo good and away from the tourist strip.. could not have been a more enjoyable on our only night in Brussels all the way from little old Perth In Australia..the mussels and the monkfish way to go....excellent service and price. Oh yes had the Spanish Fresh prosciutto for a starter so tasty.Can’t recommend enough but you must book!

The Lobster House

Reviewed By Lightkim

The worst racist restaurant in Brussels. Saw some good reviews and went there yesterday. Experienced racism at the restaurant by waiters. The waiter literally threw the plates, cups, drinks and food on the table, never explained anything and answered very shortly and moody to our questions while serving very kindly to other Western tourists. Food was terrible too. If you are an Asian you should think twice before you go here. Ruined all the good memories that I made in Belgium. Dear restaurant, pls never forget that you earn your living from tourists. 인종차별 쩌는 식당이예요 후기만 보고 갔는데 맛도 별로고 동양인 무시하는 웨이터 걸려서 벨기에에 대한 좋은 기억이 망가졌어요

Le Rossini

Le Rossini is a family owned restaurant located in the heart of Brussels, created and managed by a young couple passionate about culinary art and gastronomy. The Chef proposes a fresh seasonal cuisine with a small and dynamic menu, that changes according

Reviewed By upthehudson

At the suggestion of our hotel desk staff, we tried Le Rossini. In 9 days throughout Europe, this was our favorite dinner. Our server was also the chef's wife. She was attentive, friendly and gracious. The menu was prix fixe and all courses were excellent. My wife's gluten free needs were met, including the surprise of bread before the meal. Selections were not the familiar Italian fare I anticipated. Rather there were some well considered, even eclectic, items incuding the succulent beef cheeks I ordered. We gushed with praise for each course we had chosen, Even the wine offerings were above average and clearly the result of first hand research.It's a very spacious and appealing dining room. While I typically am skeptical of restaurants that are within the space of a hotel, this one - which is not actually affiliated with the hotel - was a revelation.

Le Rabassier

Reviewed By TWPF100

We like to try the best restaurants when we visit different cities and Le Rabassier is one of Brussels' best.It's menu is choice of four degustation/ tasting menus for various fixed prices. We chose the second one at €90 each. Each menu contains similar dishes with the differences being the number of dishes increasing with each step in price.The food was excellent and the wine list extensive.While it was excellent in quality we found the flavours quite strong in some of the dishes (mainly the Parmesan )which took from our total enjoyment.My favourite was the venison which was sooo tender and delicious.It is a small venue with seating for 20 and there was 16 on our night. Making a reservation would be advisable The service was impeccable. Highly recommended

Charming restaurant located in the center of Brussels in front of the National Theater with terrace and big capacity for groups and individuals .

Reviewed By Mark H

Four business colleagues met here during Labelexpo 2019 and enjoyed a thoroughly pleasant evening. Our food and wine was excellent and the service quiet, efficient and beyond reproach. Strangely, we all ordered the same dishes! The beef tartare was tough-chopped rather than being fine, as I like it. The flavour was rich and warm. We all followed with the excellent wild sea bass while for dessert most of us had the selected Belgium cheeses. Don’t ask about the wines! Excellent but we had too much. Thanks for a great evening

Tonton Garby

it is the moment of the holidays we wish to thank our kind customers for its fidelity. we will be closed from July 19 to August 22, 2019 thank you

Reviewed By Dawnits

Tonton Garby gave us a very warm welcome when we arrived at his restaurant. We helped us choose our sandwiches and was very thorough in explaining the ingredients. They’re very generous with the cheese and meats so the sandwiches are very tasty. I loved #7. We went back to eat there again after a week and I was surprised that he recognized me (despite serving hundreds of customers in a day) and said “I never forget a smile”
