On our second night in Brussels, we went to Pampas for dinner, a Brazilian steak house that was a…read moreshort walk from our hotel. While expensive, the food was tasty! For €34.95* per person, you got an assortment of meats to choose from (beef, chicken, fish, prawns, pork, and lamb), and everything I had was very tasty. (I didn't eat everything as I don't like pork or lamb.) To be honest, I've been to other Brazilian steakhouses before and thought they were OK to pretty good, but Pampas was excellent! This is the first time I truly liked the food. In addition to the meats they bring to you on skewers, you also get an assortment of tapas. €34.95 is not cheap, but the quality of the food was excellent, and you don't leave hungry. *Per their website, they also offer an= vegetarian option for €21.90.

I love meat, preferably lots of it, so when I noticed this 'rodizio' opening up in my…read moreneighbourhood, I was excited. Unfortunately, Pampas didn't live up to my expectations... We were served a plate with some veggies first, but since there wasn't anything special on it, we largely ignored it. A bit of a waste, really... Then we were offered some garlic bread. Usually I love garlic bread, but a mayo based garlic sauce instead of garlic butter? Methinks not! The chips and oven baked potato were quite disappointing as well. After a round of mushrooms, finally the meat arrived! We were quite early, so we were the only ones in the restaurant at first, but apparently that didn't keep them from grilling full size skewers. Since it is impossible to eat a whole skewer with just two persons, I was wondering how they could possibly control how thoroughly cooked a piece of meat would be. As it turned out, they couldn't: some pieces were extra-rare, others extremely well done. At first I thought it was just the Brazilian way of cooking specific kinds of meat, but when the same kind came back cooked completely differently, it was obvious they were just being very inconsistent. Apart from that, I got the feeling they were trying too hard to fill customers up with 'cheap stuff', just to save on meat. I don't mind paying a bit more for an all-you-can-eat restaurant if it offers more than just a buffet -- e.g. Chinese and Indian -- or one dish -- e.g. spare-ribs -- but this rodízio just doesn't deliver...

The service was excellent. You can tell they have a higher level of professionalism. They served some bread with one of the best butters I have tried. I guiltily finished off the complementary bread and asked for more. They have an extensive list of wines, beers, and spirits. The server recommended Jungle Joy by the Brussels Beer Project. It was great! Of course I got the Tomahawk to share. Then I also split a lunch set menu, which came with salad and mussels. The salad was very refreshing and tasty. The mussels was such a large portion and tasted very fresh. It came with fries, which I loved! The kitchen cut our steak for us and served us salad on separate plates. That was very helpful! This lunch for two cost 81 euros without tip and tax. You wouldn't find this gem of a restaurant with this level of service and quality of food in Los Angeles.

Our room was large by European standards, quite comfortable, and well equipped. And the service at the front desk, the restaurant, and the M Club was quite good. As Titanium guests, the very tasty breakfast was complimentary and the M Club a lovely refuge w/coffee, beverages, and snacks available 24/7 and in the evening alcohol and light bites including fresh waffles (note that the hotel resolved the issue of a previous reviewer and you now need the correct key card access). Old Town is a delightful pedestrian friendly village within Brussels with many wonderful sights, restaurants, shops that we loved to explore...not to mention the Grand Place and Christmas markets. And the Brussels North train station was a short walk away from which we took a very pleasant train ride to Bruges (I heartily recommend both the train and the town). There were always taxis right outside the hotel - one day we visited the Atomium/World's Fair area and on departure we took one to the TGV at Brussels Midi (since we had luggage). All in all we were quite thrilled with our stay at the Marriott Grand Place.

You can't come to Brussels and not do "mussels in Brussels." The white wine sauce was amazing, and the frites that came with it were hot, fresh, and perfect for dipping. Portions are generous and everything is great for sharing. We also loved the fresh rolls they bring out at the start. The service is great! The ambiance is cozy and relaxed, perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place.

A friend and I had lunch, afternoon coffee, and dessert here - and everything was pretty standard fare but high quality and tasty, which is all I ask for. I had the Flemish Stew and it was super savory, filling, and meaty (which is what I wanted after a long day of exploring!) It came with a little side salad (that was nothing to write home about) and Belgian fries, that were similar to the "steak fries" we are used to in the US, but a little thinner. The fries came with mayo for dipping which is an extremely Belgian thing (that I also love and have adopted myself at home). The coffee we had after lunch was Italian espresso and was creamy and delicious. It came with a little mini cookie treat for dipping! We wanted another sweet treat for dessert so we shared the Strawberry Belgian Waffle and it was superb. An extra fluffy waffle base with a scoop of ice cream on top, covered in strawberry slices and whipped cream. So good. Wonderful location, great views, and some standard fare for food (except the sweet stuff!) I'd recommend stopping here for a quick lunch or just for a fantastic waffle and coffee if you don't have time for a full meal.
