Bon Bon

Reviewed By Géry B

cuisine deserve the 2-star Michelin qualification, but most probably never reach 3-starQuality of raw material absolutely good innovative cooking but lack of choices in the menus. Australian or south African wines should not be in the wine list as not in line with the quality of food. prices too high, not by far but definitively too high general atmosphere, comfort and overall facilities not in line with qualification.Synthesis : a nice and acceptable place to be with great food and services but not enough to be recommended without restriction

I am sorry to mark poor rating for overpricing on sparking water no matter how good at the cooking. The one litre SPA costed me 10 euro but the same one in supermarket is selling at 0.62 euro. It’s multiple 16 times. Does it make sense? Maybe your restaurant was starred but frankly speaking it’s not my first time to try similar quality restaurant even much famous and better. Even famous hotel , Mandarin oriental hotel , it’s grill house priced their wine in multiple 3-5 only. Usually, I trust the professionalism in the restaurant and such that I didn’t check the price and to follow the suggestion. Also, I don’t expect such overwhelming price of water in Brussels. It won’t be happened in Paris and London. I am quite disappointed for it to make comment here!!! The staff serviced well with good suggestion on wine pairing with the starter. Impressive. One point is to remind that tuna is not fresh enuf. The main course for the pork is cooked well but the curry sauce with peanut seems not intense , not Thai, not japan, not India one. Cannot tell how it taste indeed. The side dish esp. the potato is pan well, crunchy surface and soft inside. Dessert is ok.MerciDear KidultCoolfirst of all... ouf, the food was good, and you had a relative Pleasant lunch (at least it's what you said when you left the restaurant.About the pork, it's absolutely not a curry sauce (neither japonese, indian, nor thai, nor either part of the world), just a classical french Brown jus with some peanuts butter and chinese saté Inside… Nothing more ;-)Then, thanks for the 2 stars rate for your good moment in our restaurant! ;-) (it's ironic, just in case if you do not understand) your comment about the price of water gives me a platform for some explanations:your emotion is understandable, but your argument is somewhat truncated …Let's start from the premise that a restaurant is a for-profit company and that its goal is to make profit (in the preamble, know that it is the same prices everywhere in Brussels in this type of establishment .. and that it is cheaper than in Paris)First of all: we do not sold it really 10€, in fact it's 8.26 €, the rest is the value Added tax (1.73€) like mentionned on your photo … we call that the TVA and it's directly for the State ;-) Secundly, after delivering in the restaurant, water costs us around 1.20€ … yes our provider doesn't work for free (he has to pay his employees, his truck, fuel, tax, and so…) --> yes we have a ratio of 6.8 for the water… but It's quite less than in Paris where water is cheapest in supermarket (they have no tax on water in France, like we have in Belgium) and where the sold it on higher price, like Shangri-la (8€ for 1/2 l (5€ in the Stirwen) 11€ for a liter … and with a VAT of 10% (21% in Belgium) to summarizeBelgium : buy 1.20€ (vat excluded) --> 8.26€ (vat ex) => 10€ (vat included) the price you payFrance : buy 0.55€ (vat excluded) --> 10 €( vat excluded) => 11 € (vat included) the price you payDid you really imagine one second that a restaurant will really sell a bottle of water at 2€ (multiple x3.5) and earns less than 1.20€ for giving you a 100% cotton toppings, tablecloth,, high level porcelain and cutlery, three kinds of fresh bread, two kinds of butter (from local craftsmen), organic olive oil …noooo you are too smart to Believe the opposite ;-)since you stayed more than one hour at table (and it's our pleasure to se you having good time) … since you were not in a crownded restaurant with no napkins where they Don't allow you to stay long time because they want to sell the table a second time and give you frozen industrial bread and butter (which has only butter in the name) … and where they finally sell you water at 8€ .. me personnaly, I prefer giving 2more euros! For your information, It's the same argumentation about the coffee/tea thing (And just in case of… my average multiple for wines is around 2,5 ;-) ;-) )It was a pleasure

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

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.

travel to brussels the first time, only stay for one night, and of course have to go mussels & fries. Checked this one online and made a reservation, which turned out to be very wise, coz so many customers coming. Lovely vibe, warm service, and most of all, truly delicious beer, mussels(garlic+cheese flavor) and fries (w/Mayonnaise source), and good value for price (27euro in total).

Have never taken such good care of me while selecting a sandwich. He gave us advice to order and it was not wrong. They taste absolutely amazing, with such different flavors, the bread is completely fresh crunchy in the outside and soft in the inside. As we ordered three different sándwiches he told us in what order to eat them so that we could enjoy them more.

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
