The specials are usually interesting and well balanced (had the tuna tartare this time) and the "fixed menu" usually has good options. Staff is courteous and helpful, making this q place to continue on my "to go" list.

Excellent place. Had two pintxos as a starter: spicy gamba's and a very fresh tuna with sesame…read more Main was the côte de veau, with a great mushroom/truffle sauce. Had the Ochoa red (Crianza) which is good value for money too! Setting is nice in Ixelles/Chatelaine. And service was as one might expect. Price on the high side but justified by quality!

We've walked past El Vasco numerous times and everytime the wife and I have been trying to figure…read moreout just when we could go and feast on Basque food. Well, we also noticed they serve sandwichs. After the sandwich spot we were going to go to only accepted cash, and we didn't have any, we decided to walk a bit outta our way and finally try the sandwichs here. We were both excited to try the rillette de canard, and that's what we did. I got the rillette de canard with a black olive tapenade, and sundried tomatoes on olive bread. The wife got something very similar, without the tapenade and instead with olive oil and no sundried tomatoes. We went with the meal deal for 8.5€, which also got us the most amazing meat empanada I've ever tasted. We had lunch there pretty early, I think we were her first customers of the day and therefore the empanadas were still slightly warm. The meal deal also came with a soft or a water of your choice. The sandwiches were amazing and for the price with the internet and the meal deal it's really hard to beat for such a great sandwich. We will undoubtedly come back and try their wine and tapas. So all in all, if you're looking for a sandwich made with amazing ingredients come here...you won't regret it.

Excellent corner bistro with a chalkboard menu…read more We started with a planche of salami, and some aperos. My wife got a baby lobster with linguine and white asparagus; I got rare tuna with two ricotta ravioli, and an assortment of vegetables that was decidedly Californian. Dessert was fresh strawberries and pistachio ice cream that looked so good, both tables in our vicinity saw it and ordered it. All 24 seats on Friday at 8:30pm were filled. All of the above was almost exactly 100 €

3.5 stars I've been…read moreto Wine Tales four or five times now, so it's about time I finally wrote a review. They have a reasonably long list of wines by the glass, and I've always been able to find something I liked. I've tried a few of the pinxos, and they were decent, but I'm happy to keep trying more. It's the perfect place for after-work drinks, because they open relatively early for a wine bar. It's surprisingly large for Brussels, and I like how their layout makes it easy for groups of any side. They also have an actual bar you can sit at, which isn't terribly common. And they have a large patio for those few days when the weather is nice. The location is very convenient if you work near Arts-Loi or Place Lux. Service can be a little hit or miss, but I'm sure I'll keep going back.

What a horrible lunch: First, the waiter wasn't sure about…read morehis own menu. It was confusing what is included in the lunch menu and what's not. Then one of our colleagues got his salad. The rest had to wait another ten minutes and my colleague had to eat alone. He had a chicken salad but the chicken was really raw inside. He gave it back to the kitchen, but it was still a bit raw when it came back. The rest took the paella and it was pretty hard and not well cooked. At least they gave us a discount but we won't come back I think.

There's lots to say about Como Como. First I want to acknowledge the great staff, everyone was…read morefriendly and kind, which is something I value a lot when dining out. The food I ate was good, but I didn't get to try a lot of different dishes. My friend and I are vegetarian so we could only indulge in the cheese, vegetarian, some of the fish and garlic dishes and the dessert. We stayed for nearly two hours and only saw the same plates rotating, which brought down the value of our experience. I only had 1 veggie dish and 1 cheese dish, which was literally bread and cheese. Social media and pictures on Yelp had raised my expectations, yet I left disappointed and still hungry. There's better places in Antwerp that will give you quality and more food for the money you'd spend. It's a great concept, yet poorly executed.

I arrived here at 9PM (they advertise they are open until 10PM). 25 minutes into my 'all you can…read moreeat' experience at this restaurant (9:25PM) I was informed that there will be no additional dishes being served - this restaurant is similar to running sushi but with tapas plates instead of sushi. Unfortunately very bad experience for me -- staff also wouldn't do anything about the fact that I still wanted to eat more - that's why I paid all you can eat.
