Grimbergen Cafe

We got recommendations from a friend to stop by this restaurant, we sat down at about 6PM and left when they closed, I think it was like 10PM. We had some great food and just sat around drinking and watching the city life.SUPER, worth every penny!

Reviewed By OnlyTheBest-Lux

Very good restaurant with very good staff. The food was tasty but we were missing the wow experience that one expect when going to a two Michelin starred restaurant. It might be because one's expectations always climb but it sometimes feels like it's easier to get Michelin stars in France, Belgium and Luxembourg.I was quite astonished that the restaurant do not offer any wine pairing. And that they offer only four (or five) wines by the glass! We however got a very good Champagne at a very fair price but come one this need to be better.All in all a good experience which though was lagging wow moments and didn't live up to its price tag.

Reviewed By aandrrea

Me and a couple of friends went here for our last night in Brussels and it was by far the best experience we had. The food was absolutely delicious, we loved everything, especially their speciality “Rossini”. The waitresse was very friendly and definitely enhanced our experience there, we felt wholeheartedly welcomed there. Their wine list is very impressive and gives you a wide vary to choose from. We strongly recommend going there for a beautiful evening with delicious food

L'atelier de willy

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

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

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”

The best Belgian fries in Brussel. Everything is home made, fries, croquettes, schrimps, fish, beefstew...

Reviewed By Janine B

Arrived on a cold and wet Belgian evening, hungry and a little frustrated having lost our bearings. Found this place using Google maps and we were not disappointed. Reasonable priced and a typical brasserie menu my husband had the Brussels stew and I had the marinaded brochette (beautiful flavour), both with fries. Both dishes were great and previous reviews have been right the fries are lovely!Definitely recomendMany thanks for your kind advice.See you next time in Brussels maybe?Best regardsAude
