The only problem with leaving a five star review is that it encourages others to go and get in line ahead of us! ;) Ok, ok, ok kidding aside PLEASE visit this establishment. Quaint inside with limited seating and ALWAYS busy with a wait, it's easy to understand why. Simple, yet glorious dishes await your palate. We enjoyed our Carbonnade and practically liked our plates clean which would have been embarrassing for sure but worth it. Three cheers to the chef who can transform ingredients in to a plate with singing about! read more

C'est Bon C'est Belge - Belgian Near Me - Brussels, BRU

I found this place because it had pretty good reviews, had some specific Belgian dishes we were looking to try, and was close by to where we were. We got there at around 12:30 on a Saturday and it was pretty filled already. I ordered the C'est si Bon combo platter, which included a salad, stoemp (mashed potatoes), meatballs in tomato sauce, carbonnade (Flemish beef stew), and vol au vent (chicken in white sauce). It wasn't bad. It's probably not really for my taste buds because it's so heavy but I'm glad it was a little bit of everything so I at least got to try it. I don't think I could have finished a full size of any of these entrees alone. I liked the beef stew more than I thought I would because the beef tends to be dry, but it was pretty tender here. The vol au vent was creative because the dish normally inside a puff pastry but since this was a sample, they put a miniature pastry ring on top, which was cute and made it less heavy. Hubby had La Dinantaise (assorted duck plate with foie gras, smoked breast, gizzards, rillettes, terrine) served with a salad. I enjoyed the foie gras and duck breast but the rest was meh, but more of a texture thing for me. Overall, the food was okay but if you're looking for a variety of dishes to try, this would be a good option. read more

This place came highly recommended as a place to have authentic Belgian cuisine. I made a reservation for 12:45 for lunch and I'm glad that I did because all of the tables were occupied during our visit. It's centrally located and SUPER cute inside. The staff were friendly and wonderful. Their menu had, from what I could tell, many of the Belgian classics like Waterzooi, carbonnade de flammade, etc. I ordered a juniper beer which was amongst other Belgian beers. They also have wine, coffee drinks, spirits, and soft drinks. GF and I ordered a plate of their assorted Belgian cheese to start which was served with a small dressed arugula salad and 3 slices of bread. The cheeses were delicious, the salad was tasty, but I wish they had provided more bread. For our mains, I ordered their liegoise salad which I was pleased to see was available in a vegetarian version without bacon. This was very tasty with potatoes, haricot vert, arugula, and red onions. I would definitely recommend this for a starter or lighter main dish. GF ordered, at my recommendation, the sausage with stoemp which received positive reviews. I tried the stoemp and it was DELICIOUS. Another of my dining companions ordered, at my recommendation, the waterzooi which looked hearty and cozy. This also received positive reviews. Another of my dining companions, who is coo coo for Cocoa Puffs with a psychiatric disorder that makes her hyperfixated on eating healthfully, ordered the "steamed vegetables" after she was informed that the waterzooi had cream in it. She subsequently complained that it was bland. She received a generous portion of seemingly fresh vegetables which would serve as a shareable side for a few people looking for some fiber or to feel better about themselves. The restroom is down a small, winding staircase and likely not ideal for a mobility-impaired person. The only reason for 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 is because our cheese plate had a single, wiry black hair wrapped around one of the cheese chunks. I wish I had taken a picture of it for proof and the fact that I didn't is ironic because I take pictures of pretty much everything else. We didn't have the heart or balls to return it or bring it to their attention and just ate around that bit. Maybe they could wear a hair net or something. read more

This place is quaint, cozy and charming as it is small in size but filled with character. My colleague and I arrived late in the evening but there was a table available and we were greeted and seated immediately. They do have menus in English if you ask. The menu was filled with Belgian food, plenty of beer options and dessert. We started with a cheese plate as I really did not know what to order for the entrée as nothing really jumped out at me. I love cheese but did not come even close to finishing the plate as the cheeses were mostly processed and smelled like Limburger. I ordered a chicken dish that was to be served with mashed potatoes and vegetables with a sauce. When my order arrived I was confused because the potatoes, vegetables and the sauce were all pureed together with the larger pieces of chicken (boiled perhaps?) on top of it. Fortunately, I had asked for crumbled bacon in advance and it really helped provide some flavor to some really bland food. The food had very little seasoning so the salty and savory flavor from the bacon really helped this sorry dish out. I did take the opportunity to have some beers here. I usually like to order local beers when I travel. It was a mixed bag as the first beer was way too sweet and the second beer was much better. I also ordered some ice cream with melted Belgian chocolate to drizzle on top and that was the best part of my meal. Despite not liking the cheese or the entrée much, our waiter was great and provided us with fantastic service. Be sure to visit the cellar if you stop in. Three stars! read more

Great experience! Lorena was the best, we loved sitting outside. Very good food, great place to try Belgian food.

Great Belgium Cuisine! Small cosy and exclusive environment! Great Food! Great Service! We had been passed this restaurants for days, and it looks so small and insignificant, more like a gift shop than a dinner place from outside the window. But I am glad that we finally give this a try out! It was not cheap the price was kind of middle range in Brussels. We had a dark beer and a cola, both made in Belgium, some free butter and bread, Starter: Escargots with tomato soup, comes with a small salad. Main Courses: Carbonnade, beef stew with small salad and potato smash Dessert: coupe du cellier, vanilla ice cream, with a bit chocolate liquor, topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. My partner was sick for almost a week, so she had little appetite, and we shared all the above. Each one of them was great. I love the carbonnade and the coupe du cellier the most! The overall price was 36 euros. The table next to us had meatballs with sweet or tomato sauce, which also looks good. The menu of the night only have two soups, four main courses, four desserts. But they are freshly made while we eat. The room is so small and the kitchen is in the same room, so it becomes a bit steamy and hot and with all the smells from the kitchen. It is not easy to get a table. Last Friday we called to book a table for three, they told us they only have two table for two left, so can not book three. This time we ditched the friend and visit as a couple. When we arrive, they told us to wait half an hour for a seat. So we went to a nearby second hand book store, and it was worth the waiting. Definitely coming back. But this type of good dinner maybe we can only afford once per month. read more

This place was my go to spot in Brussels. The flemish stew here is out of this world. Who knew a stew could knock your socks off. I tried the sampler meal as well but the best thing in the sampler was the flemish stew. read more

Came here for lunch today and left full and happy! At around 1 pm, there were around 3 other tables taken. The menu is written up on a chalkboard and the person working there (perhaps the owner?) translated all of the names of the dishes for us. Two of us got the beef stew and my other friend got the fish plate. We all also ordered beers-- we asked for recommendations based on the food we ordered. The food was fantastic and super filling! My beef stew was tender (although not break with your fork alone level) and the beer paired nicely. It is a small place with a lively atmosphere and fun music playing. All in all a nice experience for a Belgian meal and seems about on par with other Belgian places price wise (my meal cost 20€). read more

C'est Bon C'est Belge - The beer that was paired with the beef stew. Quite tasty (although I'm no beer connoisseur). - Belgian Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Came here for lunch on Thursday, first customer of the day. The wait staff was very friendly,and assumed I'd want the English menu. I wanted to try the baseline carbonnade since that seems like a good way to judge a place here. It was well made, but not nearly as soft and flavorful as Fin De Siecle. Great kriek recommendation. Would come try something else if I was in Sablon area again, but not a destination. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed myself here as the waitstaff made me feel at home with complimentary tastings and mini appetizers. I personally found Belgium food to not be as tasty as I'd like, but the food they served was well cooked with a great pairing of flavors - it was a good step out of the comfort zone! Overall, a great cozy place for drinks or food, but picky eaters may find their menu a little difficult as it is mainly Belgium specialties. read more

Hit this place up for the carbonnade, which was featured on an Andrew Zimmerman show. It was so good. I saw on tv that the owner makes it with beer and gingerbread, which definitely came through in the flavor. We also got the sampler that offered other Dutch specialties, which was tasty. Came for lunch so it wasn't busy, but the restaurant is quite small so I'd make reservations in advance. read more

Very touristy food. It's just okay. Nice that they speak many languages and are accommodating but it is very over priced for what you get. Subpar quality read more

A small family like restaurant, enthusiastic service. It serves typical Belgian dish, we had beef stew and rabbit cooked in beer, and tiramisu in spaclouse. The rabbit is definitely a delicacy, the owner recommended a high fermentation beer called "duchesse de bourgogne", which is a rare find, also very unique and tasted great. read more

As a foodie, whenever I travel I make sure to find and try the most authentic food possible. I came across C'est Bon C'est Belge on some website and instantly fell in love with its charm through pictures. After seeing the glowing reviews on TripAdvisor I knew I had to try it for myself. We had our hotel concierge call to make a reservation and hopped a cab there. It's located down a charming cobblestone pedestrian street. When we opened the door it felt like we were in someone's home. There was room for maybe 20 people max. The menu was displayed in French on a large chalkboard with a limited selection of Belgian dishes. We began with Belgian beers. Our waiter suggested I try a Blond one. I'm not a beer fan but I decided since we were in Belgium I'd try some out. For my entree, I had the pork and veal meatballs with a hearty side of green beans and mashed potatoes. For dessert I had a speculoos moose, it was rich and delicious. Although I was full, I ate every last bite. It was my Aunt's birthday so they brought out her dessert with candles which made the ending of an amazing meal even more special. It seems to be a cozy, neighborhood-y place where locals and expats alike go to spend hours with friends just chatting the night away. Great restaurant, great food, great service! Next time I'm Brussels I will definitely be back. *Tip* Make a reservation or you likely won't get a seat. They had to turn away quite a few people while we sat there. They have FREE WiFi. read more

This place is great. Good for an authentic Belgian meal. I had the meat balls. Booze and food is cheap. My buddy and I both had two beers and a meal for around 40 euros. Owner is slightly pretentious, but harmless and he grows on you after a beer... two beers...9% beers....all good. read more

First timer in Brussels, went to this quaint small restaurant with good outdoor seating. With no Belgium food experience I accepted the waiter's recommendation and took the combo made of 5 local dishes, each one of them was great, and a great Belgium beer I didn't know before (le forte). Highly recommended, great place, great service. read more

Came here today after reading good reviews about it here on Yelp, but the place seemed quite shut down. Not sure if it is still open.

This restaurant is the perfect restaurant to try the Belgium specialities! I had the tasting menu and that good to have this option when you can't choose what you want... At least you get a bit of everything! The food was really good the waiters was really really nice and for what we ate the cost is more than reasonable! Would recommend it! read more

Very mixed feelings. We went eating with a group of 8. The waiters were very friendly. A level of kindness that is rarely seen in Brussels restaurants. They had a nice and different selection of beers, which was appreciated by all of us. Deco was ok. Relaxed. Not posh. Foodwise: people who took the menu at 19 euro's with different tapa's were happy about the food. The waterzooi was delicious as well as the meatballs. Not everyone appreciated the stoemp with red cabbage. 2 persons chose for a different menu: vol au vent. They were disappointed by the taste (too much lemon), by the volume (small dish) and by the fact that they couldn't get fries with it (which one would expect with this dish and in a restaurant that calls itself c'est bin, c'est belge). They left the table with hunger. When leaving we shared the bill by 8, and realised that we were charged 140 euro too much. A genuine mistake by the waitress. We didn't have any issues getting our money back. To summarize: nice restaurant, i will go back, some of our group will not. read more

Cozy place, delicious Belgium carbonnade, local beer, nice music, friendly people serving, gives a good table even for a single/one person, top choice restaurant of 2016 in Brussels i guess (the sticker on the mirror says so) but not touristic, very nice.

I ate here for lunch on a sunny Thursday in June. The restaurant is small (seating maybe 20 in a pinch) and serves traditional Belgian dishes. As their signage says, "My grand-mother made them, my mother made them, and I sell them". The menu is limited, as is the beer selection but it is all of top quality. I had the carbonnade (a beef stew made with beer), and at the recommendation of the server, a Bon Secours Biere Vivant beer. The carbonnade, while seemingly a simple dish, is difficult to get right. Often they are too salty, or the meat over cooked, etc. Served with a side of mashed potatoes, was wonderful and well-balanced. The beer (good but not exceptional) was a perfect complement. The serving size was just enough to fill but leave room for an apple crumble. The apple crumble was also balanced with more apple and less crumble than you find in America. If you are interested to sample traditional Belgian fare in a casual setting this is your place. Just be aware as of this writing they are only open Thursday to Sunday. It's also a bit difficult to find (Google maps does not give the exact location, it's down a side street) but totally worth it. They also have a small selection of locally made deli-type items: confitures, jams, etc. read more
