Last night a group of business travelers and I walked by and decided to give it a try…read more Food was tasty despite the interesting mix of what seemed like turkish, maybe greek and belgian, but enjoyable. Hole in the wall and the owner was a nice guy. Does not speak english, yet his hospitality came through. (Plus... after we had our meals he offered an digestif to each of us. Tasted like ouzo....whatever....OPA!) Was in a pinch on another night (not many options in Genval area), but was happy to go back.

Delicious prepared foods. The specialty chicken (poulet normandie, or gourmandise? it has a brown…read moresauce with apples) is one of the best things I have ever eaten. There is no doubt, if you have a party to cater, or just interested in a night in, the prepared foods as well as the meat cuts are sure to please.

Anyway back to the food which I have to say was a delight after all the tourist joints in and around the Grand Place, Brussels. The bread is superb and not only does it look good but I'm pleased to report that it tastes good. Seating is cramped sit in the outside if tables available. The staff are helpful and the menu is straight forward and available in several languages. A mix of salads and quiche main courses with simple but delicious desserts which are on display in the shop window. Even though it was packed you didn't feel that you had to give up your table as soon as the last gulp of espresso went down. Well worth a visit!

I struggle to define Au Pain Quotidien (very roughly translated as The Daily Bread), because it's a…read morebakery chain-cum-cafe-cum-coffee-shop. It's the sort of place everybody loves to have around the corner on a Sunday, so you can throw some clothes on, mosey up, buy a newspaper, sit down and order some food and a fruit juice, then buy bread and some cakes to take away to eat later at home. It's a large chain of Belgian cafes with one key feature - the scrubbed pine tables. There are usually some small individual tables, but if you're on your own and fancy sharing elbow space with others, pull up a stool to the big scrubbed pine table. There's no absolute guarantee someone will talk to you, but it does give the place a very friendly and companionable feel. And the food is wonderful, and inexpensive - big hunks of quiche, the best bread you've ever tasted and elaborate little chocolate and gold cakes can all be yours for under EUR15. And thank heaven there are some branches creeping into London, else I'd be properly homesick for Brussels!

A great selection of Belgian and foreign beers, sold at a correct price, and a knowledgable owner…read moreto help you make your choice: what more would you want? Apparently something Belgians even didn't know they wanted: growlers! These huge glass bottles (1,89 l = 64 U.S. fl oz) decorated with the awesome Malt Attacks logo is intended to be used and reused over and over again. Growlers can be filled with any of the two beers available at the filling station, always one Belgian and one foreign beer. After filling, the beer should be able to able to keep for a couple of weeks, but I don't really see that happening in my home... ;) Although you can't actually consume beer in the store -- it's not a bar, after all --there apparently is a room for tastings, so I'm waiting for some public beer tastings to be announced! :)

I've been trying to become a bit more conservative in giving out 5 stars these days but I've…read moredecided Malt Attacks gets a 5 star for the following reasons: 1. Location, location, location: located just a few minutes walk from the St. Gilles market area, this is in a hot spot. Did I mention it's within walking distance from where I live? I think that might just make it even better! 2. Variety: There are tons of different selections of beers offered! Both craft and well known beers from all over the world are represented. Of course there are Belgian beers as well but the focus is more on international and different style beers (tons of IPAs, for example). So many choices are available that you can't get all that you want in one trip...but I guess that's what keeps you coming back! 3. Service: Owner is super friendly and helpful in helping you select your beer(s). If you give him an idea of what you will like, he is more than glad to help you select different beers. Additionally, soon, you will be able to "brew your own beer" by adding ingredients you like to create your own beer that will be brewed at the location. How cool is that?? 4. Price: Although price is unarguably high, you have to keep in mind he sources his beers from all over the world and shipping costs alone are high and, well, you get what you pay for. I must admit I'm not a huge beer fan myself but my boyfriend is and I'm excited to spoil him with a beer every once in a while from Malt Attacks! He literally was like a kid in front of a candy shop when he first noticed this place when we walked by and had a huge smile on his face for the rest of the day!

However today there was a man unloading items with boxes strewn all over the back area of the café who was very rude to me. Unfortunately Cherry just lost a regular customer who had been going to this location for years because of this rude and impolite man who clearly doesn't know how to treat customers. I come from a family of restaurant owners who did very well because we had a faithful clientele, which we treated with great respect. Whoever this rude person was should not be in the restaurant business. If he were an employee in one of our restaurants, he would have been fired for this kind of behaviour.
