Great restaurant at Le Cote Vert hotel. They always have new dishes, plus keep a good list of classics in the menu (e.g. T Bone steak), just in case!
They start with an apetizer, then a soup, first course, main dish and desert. Totally worth it on each and every occasion I have eaten there (many). The meat is excellent, both the beef and the lamb. On the side dishes you can always go for the frites maison, or try something else - salad, or whatever the chef has chosen for each dish, you won´t be disappointed.
Desert, although I am not a big fan of them in general, have been good. There´s always a chocolate option, that, in my many visits, has always been great (souffle, mouse, cake, etc).
The maitre is well versed in wines, if in doubt, you can fully trust him.

This is my second visit here, and the service and food is great. Owner (?) and waiters speak english. Fresh food made from the bottom, and the duck tasted like nothing i have ever tasted before, exciting and spicy! One in the party is vegetarian...MoreThank you very much to take time to put this laudatory comment, all the team and myself we thank you. See you soon we hope Gérard LACHARRIERZ

Sit down for dinner where history saw the birth of Europe... Within reach of the cannon of the Waterloo battlefield and the famous Lion, Martin's Grand Hotel pays tribute to the fathers of European history, like Napoleon, Wellington and Blucher... Giving the hotel's friendly bar and delectable restaurant an extraordinary soul and charm.

So there we went again, on a Sunday night where potentially preferred choices were not open.
The restaurant in in a vaulted room that was part of a sugar factory that apparently never operated as such. By lack of water, talk about planning. But anyway, room is quite nice.
Service very good. We liked the food but we good the feeling that there was a bit of a problem with salt, with some components of most dishes overly salty, while overall the dishes were OK. We still enjoyed our dinner.
Place is not cheap BTW. Appears that the default language is English, not French. Probably because the restaurant caters mostly to hotel customers.

very small restaurant, look like "table d'hôte", the lady who serve us was friendly and she told us her husband was the cooker?? We appreciate the food, very correctly done But the atmosphere was little bit too quiet, you go there for eating not for going out

We had lunch yesterday, 3 people. From outside it looks very small, bit it is rather bis, enough for 50/60 people.
Their speciality is fresh pasta and we took the assortment of
4 different types. It was really good.
Nice decoration, but too much noise, they should do something here !

Fabulous family run restaurant on the very outskirts of Waterloo/Braine l'Alleud. Easily accessible as it is located just off the Brussels ring. It is a cosy fermette style building with stables, fields an own livestock. Very friendly, attentive and knowledgable staff. The restaurant is not too big and it has got a very light and open tastefully decorated interior. The food is just FAB. Very refined and nicely presented. It is not cheap but well worth it for that special occasion.

We ate at the Philippe Meyers restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday. That was an excellent choice. We were lucky enough to taste the "asparagus festival". Marvellous.
All dishes were perfect and with a special asparagus aroma, We will definitely rremember the asparagus sorbet. The two waitress were really professional. They managed to change the dessert for a great sabayon

Decided to come here, since we heard through the grapevine that it was a nice place to grab a bite. Did not disappoint. Nice interior decoration. Friendly staff. Kitchen is in the middle of the restaurant and open for all to see. Food was pretty good too. Lunch specials have good prices - I believe it was 13 eur. Nice wine menu. Appreciated the fact they had lots of choices of half bottles, as my wife wasn't drinking. Only remark is the parking is terrible. Have to park on the main street (if you can find a spot). Will come back again.
