My husband had the artichoke and I had the stuffed peppers to start. Both dishes were good but the artichoke stole the show. For entrees, I enjoyed the poultry and it was very good but not exciting. My husband had the prawns on white asparagus and found it good as well. The wine list was expensive and we chose one based on a fun name that turned out to be good. The wait staff spoke limited English but were helpful in assisting us with our selections. They have an English menu available as well.

For Brussels, the guys from Veranda recommended this. Driving through an open market and all types of traffic. I finally got to the neighborhood and walked across the square to the place. Anderlecht is an interesting suburb outside of Brussels. It's a bit gritty and bustling, somewhat like the Mission is in San Francisco. The space is divided into two rooms, one with a bar and one where the kitchen is. I sat near the kitchen to see all the action. Looking at the menu, it's full of classics. Got the steak au poivre with the recommended fries. Holy cow the food is good. Perfectly cooked steak, beautifully silky/peppery sauce and outstanding fries. I cleaned the plate and wished i had the appetite of another. I wish i could import the place to SF. The crew that work here are super friendly, and with my poor French we were able to still chat and have a good mix of conversations. Even though i was eating late, a slew of large parties came in after and the place got really bustling. Even though the rooms are classic bistro, i was surprised by a very modern upstairs. Certainly a very cool place all around. If youre in Brussels and want some classic bistro fare, make your way to Anderlecht and hit this place up.

The entire menu is in French and the staff here don't speak much English so it's a bit tough to order. We just went with steak and mushroom sauce. The horse-steak which was their specialty so we had to order one. Horse tastes a lot like beef, slightly more gamey but just as good.

Les récidivistes seront ravis d'apprendre que le menu change chaque semaine. Au niveau de l'exécution, c'est parfait. Le poisson est de la première fraîcheur, les légumes alternent brillamment le moelleux et le croquant, et l'assaisonnement est goûteux et subtil. C'est simple, et c'est délicieux. La formule antipasti/buffet est plus classique mais agréable et constitue une bonne entrée en matière, avec une mention spéciale pour le pain de viande maison très savoureux. Le service est très aimable et l'ambiance cantine sixties colorée est réussie, même si cela manque un peu de chaleur pour un dîner à deux. Une excellente adresse, à essayer.

It came recommended by the server at Rachel Bagel around the corner, otherwise we would have never known to try it. The menu was small and luckily my boyfriend was feeling adventurous, otherwise I think he may have been intimidated by the selections. We stayed, and we were blown away. The service was very friendly and every dish was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. We joke that we will come back to Brussels just to have dinner there again. Delicious!!!

Between the half-hearted welcome by one server, great service from another, extremely mediocre and quite frankly completely over-priced food... I had read about the famous croquette de crevette... goodness, what a ball of mush with what can only be described as carbonade style sauce oozing out of a very uncrispy covering. The side dishes served with the main courses were so sad. We arrived hungry and left very unsatisfied... Then there was the chef who decided he preferred to hang out drinking and smoking with his buddies on the terrace after closing the kitchen early (11pm? anyone??).... not to mention the pathetic serving of limoncello we received (€7.50, are you kidding me? for one mini mouthful? La Honte!) to replace the dessert we could not have as (again) the kitchen was closed and no one even bothered to propose us anything or warn us this was the case... Almost 300€ for 4 people? We weep over what we could have done with that money elsewhere....
