One of the problems with being in Brussels is seeing all the waffles everywhere, which makes you…read moreincredibly hungry. The thing is that I probably should eat the waffles, but seeing them piled high with delicious cream and a multitude of fruits, they are hard to resist. So, I decided to get one from here. They were too pricey, but the experience wasn't all that great. Needless to say the waffle was okay, not actually not hugely fantastic - I guess like in a lot of cases my eyes ended up being much bigger than my stomach.

Ah the tourist trap. The pricing in this snack bar doesn't make much sense: you pay restaurant…read moreprices if you decide to eat in but fast food prices when you decide to take out. So which is it Break Point? When visited the place the first time, I was looking for a place where I could eat pasta: which is incredibly hard in the city center. I ordered the salmon pasta to the kind waitress. My order arrived shortly. I enjoyed it although I had to adjust the spices a bit *I haven't found a restaurant who just gets it right with the spices, why is everyone so afraid of salt?* The interior is very nice, very open with a comfy nook in the back. There's also the possibility to eat outside but it wasn't appealing to me. There's oil on the table (excellent for the pasta). I used the restroom which was modern and very clean; like they all should be, right? Their position is also ideal, it's in one of the side streets of Anspach. I recommend the place if you're looking for a quick bite to fill a hungry stomach.

I was walking back to my hotel and stopped when I saw the line for take-away. I hadn't tried…read morewaffles in Brussels and figured I may as well before I left early the next morning. The line moved quickly and the person in front of me got an incredible looking waffle smothered in strawberries and Chantilly. Since I couldn't decide, I got one plain Liege and one plain Bruxelles waffle. The Bruxelles waffle was light, spongy, and had very little flavor. The Liege was denser and had a slight caramel flavor as the sugar was melted and lightly crisp on the waffle. I'm glad I tried both as I much preferred the Liege waffle. If I was in the area again I would definitely stop for a Liege waffle again.

I wanted something to eat and encountered this place. I was glad I did…read more My significant other and I walked inside and were instantly helped. We were able to choose a table to sit at. The menu was on the table already, so that was convenient. From the Tea-Room section, I ordered from the Gaufres Et Crêpes "Maison" and went with the 58. Gaufre de Bruxelles - 6.60€. It was légère, croustillante, au sucre impalpable. From the Boissons section, I ordered from the Boissons Chaudes and went with the 86. Café for 3.90€. The Gaufre seemed light, which I enjoyed. It was a great item. The Café was alright. The service was solid. I didn't have any issues. Overall, this was a great place to experience. I'm glad it was my first stop. Date of visit: 04/04/25

Super cute ambiance in an antiquing/thrifting neighborhood outside from the main touristy area…read more Food was amazing, we actually went here twice during our three days in Brussels. BUT the service and staff were not good. You order on your phone so no interaction with the waiters until you get your food. The first day, we waited about 30 mins for lunch sandwiches, and they forgot the drink (even after we reminded them twice). Then finally we got it to-go at the end, but we couldn't remove it from the tab because we had already prepaid. It also started raining as a bunch of us were dining outside. They did not open the umbrellas or help relocate us to tables inside, we were on our own to scavenge for other seats in the middle of eating. Nevertheless, the food was still so good, we came back again. The second day, my iced latte just tasted like milk. I told the waitress they might've forgotten the espresso shot or could they remake it or add another shot, and she said I'd have to pay for another and that's how it always comes. Super rude and not the customer service we're used to in the US. We had spent $60 on breakfast and they wouldn't fix our drink?! Then, both bathrooms were out of toilette paper and they didn't seem to care or say thank you when I let them know. Just rude service but delicious food. Overpriced, but everything in that area is overpriced...

Considering everything on the menu was moderately priced why jack up the cost of water and sparkling to 2.50 for half bottles. Sorry for the rant. I would come back because it is good. I just won't order the waters anymore

She's a pretty hard-line pastry snob, but was yearning so much for more that we stopped back in on the way to the airport and got another apple tart, a chocolate croissant, and a goat-cheese & honey sandwich. All three were again amazing, even after getting mashed to bits by airport security. Altogether, both our visits totaled less than $20 / €15. The proprietor was also very friendly and patient in trying to describe everything to us in English, which was not something we experienced much elsewhere in the EU quarter.

Food is decent without ever being wonderful. So don't expect anything more than simple homemade food. Dishes are well balanced and follow a self imposed healthy living charter. On my last visit I had the daily, which was boar meat with apple compote, cranberry sauce and a jus. Grilled in-season vegetables accompanied the dish to balance it out. My colleague had a homemade vegetable quiche and salad. All in all two okay plates of food, that lacked the more refined presentation of other restaurants, but for which you are certain things are fresh and organic. Now, if you are a keen cook you will question how much better it is than what you could do yourself. Some offerings are in all fairness uninspired and a bit too ordinary for the price you pay. That said, stick to what you don't usually cook at home and you should be satisfied. Breakfast pastries, bread and lunchtime desserts are also very nice. Gluten and lactose free products make this a good address for those with intolerances. Note: catering services for work or home events are also available.
