Le Chou de Bruxelles is famous for its mussels with French fries and other typical Belgian dishes. Since I'm a big fan of mussels, I was really looking forward to an evening in this restaurant.
The interior of the restaurant is decorated with Belgian memorabilia, most notably a lot of decorations which are referring to Brussels' most famous statue: Manneken Pis. The restaurant is not very big and quite popular, so make sure to reserve a table if you want to have dinner on a weekend evening.
My friends and I all went for the dinner formula: starter, main course and dessert for 32 euro. A very sharp price, indeed. The carpaccio of Begian beef was nice, but the mussels with thyme where exceptional. Best mussels I had in my life. Nice touch: I got to wear a bib to make sure I didn't soil my clothes.
The tarte tatin I got as dessert was ok, but not really memorable. Loved the complementary limoncello. I always appreciate it when the restaurant offers you some free drinks!
It was awfully warm though in the restaurant. This was perhaps due to the fact that the tables are quite close to each other and the restaurant was fully packed.
Tip: You really, really have to order the mussels.

Welcome to the Stirwen! To cook, to host, to satisfy...Our principle is based on our passion for gastronomy. In Brussels, at the heart of the Jourdan area, in the shadow of the European institutions, the Stirwen restaurant is a place in which well-eating rings as a gentle melody. Such is our philosophy: regional and seasonal cuisine, respectful of the product, portioned generously, a bond between tradition and inventiveness. A cuisine right in its time, right in its place. Refined in professional chic, you will find yourself in a comfortable and elegant decor. The restaurant lends itself to any opportunity, from the business lunch to the long table. For your function, professional or private events, we provide you with a private dining room upstairs.

My friends and I opted for the 4 course "surprise" dinner with matching wines. The "amuses" were excellent; service also very good, but sometimes , etc. The 2 appetizers were wonderful; the 2nd wine was a delicious chardonnay, but it didn't go so well with a beautiful plate of green pea variations. We opted for the dry aged beef for our main & it kept my rating from being excellent: the beef was undercooked (almost raw) & tough though the taste was very good. The Italian wine served with meat course was excellent. Altogether, a very pleasant gourmet experience.

Visited this restaurant with a friend couple. It’s cosy and staff is friendly yet we had few incidents when they forgot our request (like bringing extra water, cooking steak well as there was a pregnant one etc...).
Food is good and definitely filling. Prices are a bit high but didn’t find it too pricey compared to what you get.
All in all a good restaurant even I wouldn’t go really often.

Good plain cooking with typical dishes from Belgium since 1988: Stew beef with cheek of ox in trappist dark beer, rabbit stew (boned) with Kriek, tomatoes stuffed with grey shrimps, homemade shrimps and cheese croquettes, veal blanquette, Zeeland mussels, sole meunière, saddle of hare, veal kidneys liegeoise way...; still a family restaurant, in an authentic and atypical frame: private old garage in a 19th century house Art Nouveau and Horta with a stained-glass window

Every dish we ordered was too salty, including the salad! I ordered some croquette aux crevettes and l regretted it. There is no taste of shrimps in it and felt like it was frozen for years before frying it. Horrible... I stopped eating croquettes since then.
My boyfriend had entrecôte which was so dry chewy (and of course salty!) that he couldn't finish it. I don't understand the positive reviews about this place; either we were unlucky either the reviewers dont mind earing junky food.
Such beautiful place and atmosphere, pity they don't know how to cook!!

SERVICE is quick and friendly. The owner likes to know his guests and treats them well.
FOOD is an adventure, allow the chef to give you advice or thake the menu of the day
PRICE is very reasonable, certainly if you go for the menu of the day

Reviewed By Yuri H - Bruselas, Bélgica
I had late (and light) dinner here the other night. There was just one dish that I took and a glass of wine, so it is hard for me to make a good overall judgement on the food served there, but my experience was very good. The place is rather easy to miss, even though it is just a few steps from the Avenue Louise. Quiet exterior (not to be mistaken for shabby) suggests that people working there focus on the real thing and not appearances. Even past 9 on a Wed evening is was almost full with visitors of various walks of life, but certainly a discerning crowd. As mentioned, only 1 dish for me and it was exactly right. A glass of wine complimented it perfectly. Add to that crisp and friendly service and I am a happy customer. Nice place.

Reviewed By Wainer L - Brussels, Belgium
Let's start by saying that the food is proper portuguese, well prepared and presented. We had seafood mainly, and it conpares well with what you would expect to eat in a good restaurant in, say, Tavira. However, choice is very limited, wait is very long, wines are overpriced and space limited. Price, overall, a bit over Bxl standards. So, all in all, nice for a romantic evening, not for a family meal.

I was brought to this lovely Italian restaurant by a friend who lives in this neighbourhood. I was happily surprised when I entered, because there were a lot of Italian costomers enjoying their meal. What a good atmosphere. The food was as great as you get in Italy. Good quality ingredients, made with passion for good taste and looks. The service of the Italian staff was fast and lovely. They served good coffee with home made cookies. And the bill was very reasonable. I loved my evening at La Botte and when I'm back in Brussels, I'll have dinner here again. I'ts a 5 minute walk from Metro station Demey, and worth going to even from a different neighbourhood. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

I discovered this restaurant by accident (thanks to tripadvisor).
It is very reasonably priced given the quality.
The dishes are of a very high quality and very inventive. The food is very fresh and the taste of the dishes is astonishingly good.
The service is excellent as well.
It's a bit off the beaten path, but well worth making a detour.
Every few weeks the menu changes and there are totally new dishes to discover.
Try this restaurant out once, and you will definitely come back (again and again ;-))
