This charming little bar in the Flagey area is a hidden gem. It doesn't get as crowded as some of…read morethe other spots nearby, but the ambiance is absolutely lovely and inviting. The selection of beers on tap is decent, and they also offer cocktails and other drinks. They have a variety of food and snacks for those who want to eat or need a bite, and there's even a room with darts and billiards for those who want to take a break from their drinks (or drink and play). Side note: you'll need some coins on hand since a round is a few euros. It's a very casual and local spot that's perfect for a relaxed night out.

Dry food needs sauce on everything…read more One waiter but he's efficient for the only guy running the floor. Still with a full house they need more than one waiter. Super slow turnover for the food and I received insufficient portions. My portabello burger might as well have been a button mushroom burger. Bun was overheated and hard as a cracker. My drink was incorrect. Charged me for 33cl but received a 25cl glass. Don't think I'd come back or recommend this place for my friends. Had high hopes and came locally recommended

I wish it will stay open all the year long! The idea of this little cafe in the park is simply…read moregreat. Despite the fact that I feel a little bit more observed when running in Parc de Forest ;-) I think it brings to the place a new fresh feeling in this area of the neighborhood. They have plenty of nice activities: readings for children, yoga lessons, concerts, dj sets. Food and drinks offerred a very nice. Everything is vegetarian and done by a professional chef. Keep it in your to do list for sunny days in Brussels :-)

Lovely concept, relatively well executed. I'm all for the place itself. But…read more Their naturally sparkling wine (or something) doesn't amount to much (not by way of taste, anyway). The food is ok, but when you get sardines as tapas from a place that has a grill, you don't expect them to come out of a tin... Also, I'm told the beers are expensive. So much so that some people apparently take the beer glaces home, feeling that this way, they have paid a reasonable price. Ahum. I don't drink beer (cf. gluten) but voilà.

Never Again. Had to move seat so they could use it for…read moresomeone else. Had to wait 30mins before they realised I wanted to order while I raised my hand and gestured atleast 5 times. Then while making me move made me order while I'm moving. Then forgot my order so I had to ask for it, making me stress because I had to make an appointment. Then came out with the ice and water. 5minutes later the bread. The ice is melting and after finally asking where my soup is 1 more time, they bring out a scorching hot soup while my ice has melted and water is warm, and the soup is really not nice. An undescribed coconut corn soup is not what you want or expect when ordering the soup of the day. Really unfortunate lunch time and never going back there again.

Great little lunch spot…read more I've been to Caberdouche a few times and was very happy. The ambiance is upscale, casual, and clean. Service is decent. They have rotating daily specials. The menu includes a lot of healthy options, like salads and vegetarian platters, but you can also go for something heavy. It's an excellent choice if you feel like going out but want to keep up with your diet.

Nice place to have a drink with some friends and eat their famous "boulets liégeois" (meatballs…read morewith sweet sauce). The place is representative of the new kind of inhabitants arriving in Saint-Gilles: artists, hipsters, upper middle-class. The place is decorated with old brasseries elements, so are the furnitures (very simple, but that's part of the friendly and family atmosphere). The food is also voluntarily simple but effective. It reminds me of the good old dishes that my grand mother used to cook. Important, and rare: French fries are home made. A lot of different local tasty beers. Good quality/price ratio. They now seem to be a bit victim of their success. The place is often overcrowded and the service is not always effective anymore... Moreover, prices have recently raised.

When eating dinner with a friend from out of town, my boyfriend and I wanted to take her to a…read moretraditional Belgian Brasserie. He has been wanting to try out La Boule d'Or for a while now so we settled on it for the evening. Best to reserve ahead of time as soon after we arrived it was full! More of a bar type atmosphere, La Boule d'Or is a fun place to have a drink and a simple dinner. Unfortunately, there are very few veggie/fish options so I was limited to tomatoes and shrimps or toasties with mushrooms. My boyfriend settled for the former and I the latter. I wasn't that impressed with my dish BUT did love the homemade fries and mayo! My boyfriend's dish was a lot better and normally I don't like that dish but was pleasantly surprised! For dessert, we all ordered different things, I loved my panna cotta with red berries!! With water, this all came to 15 eur, which is, in my opinion, a steal. As a note, this restaurant only serves meals of the day that are listed on a blackboard, so no menu.

WOW... What a treat!…read more GREAT couscous (merguez) GREAT kif's (small ban-chan like appetizers) GREAT tagine (lamb) SO MUCH FOOD! You can easily make a meal for two by getting just the kif assortment and eating a lot of bread. But instead we got the kif's, a couscous AND a tagine for two! We were so far from finishing the meal it was comical. House wine is very nice and goes well with the meal. The desserts look good, but as you can see, we did not have room to eat that. The staff are extremely friendly. I saw them accommodate an old man who just wanted to stop in for a dessert. It started dumping rain after so they gave him an umbrella! They also told us we can wait out the rain, but instead we got impatient and just got really wet. (naturally, the rain stopped as we reached the tram station a couple blocks away.) Highly recommended for anyone visiting this part of Brussels. It is hard to escape from the high rent low value touristy areas if you are visiting. Make a point of visiting this part of Brussels to get a different perspective of life here.
