We visited this restaurant twice during our recent Holiday. The 1st visit was great! Our server, a young black man, was FANTASTIC! (I'm sorry but I couldn't find the receipt and don't remember his name) He helped me with my French, gave us recommendations, and was GREAT. The young blond who helped us pay our tab at the end was also very friendly. For this visit I would have given a 5 based on the service and some of the food. Our 2nd visit was the complete opposite! Mireille, was aweful. We sat at the table for at least 15 minutes before she even acknowledged us. If I had known how horrible the experience would be we would have left then. When she finally came to the table she was rude and dismissive. We decided to share a couple of plates and go somewhere else for dessert and coffee. We asked multiple times for our check and it never came. I ended up going to the front and asking someone else for our check. When I had questions about charges added to our check she got upset. As far as the food, the mushrooms and chicken pasta was excellent (don't remember the name in French) Everything else was decent at best. I don't like to write such negative reviews but I have to be honest. I'm sorry. The ambiance by the windows is nice. If you sit in the middle it's loud and crowded. read more

The outdoor experience by St Boniface can't be beat. The beer is always cold and delicious. The food hits the spot. And servers are kind and relatively attentive. read more

I had a decent but forgettable lunch at L'Ultime Atome. I know it's a brasserie, but I would have appreciated it if they had a few more light options on the menu. I had the falafel and tabbouleh salad. The falafel were quite good, but everything else was really bland. My coworker ordered a caesar salad that came out looking nothing like a caesar salad. I'm not sure whether they don't know how to make a caesar salad, or whether they just messed up her order. Service was so slow that she ate it anyway, because complaining or getting the right order might have set us back an hour. The beer selection is excellent, and they had a decent number of wines. I probably wouldn't come here again on purpose, as there are just too many better restaurants in the area. read more

Ma petite amie and myself went here after an afternoon in the city and we needed food and beer - badly. This place is pretty big and casual with a nice atmosphere so we went here. I liked this place a lot for its purpose. The beer list is pretty extensive and very affordable at €3,5 for most beers. For a Rochefort that's a steal. Also, the calamares we had were very good, not at all like the fried donuts you often get at bars. They tasted good and the consistency was also right. We did not have any main courses so I cannot comment on those. For beers and snacks this place is great, though. read more

Great beer list! Lots of families with small kids. Casual dining. Food was decent. Service was friendly and efficient. I was just in the mood for a pizza. I had the scampi ail and Chimay Rouge...both where good. Reasonable prices. The outside of the restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The interior reminded me of a British pub. read more

The brunch offer is quite appealing and the portions are big compared to the tiny tiny coffee they serve you.. Looks pretty good and well decorated but it is an-OK taste/quality You can almost manage to stay 2h to finish this up ;-) perfect for famished stomachs. Did like it but not as much to say " I'll return every weekend". See pictures and try it, it's cool. read more

Very good burgers with vegetarian options available. I believe the prices have gone up recently for their burgers by 1 euro but me and my friends still regularly come here for a quick bite to eat when we're in the area. read more

Really like this place. Great atmosphere, cool neighborhood, trendy, happening square with cool little shops. Don't expect too much from this place. The food is average, the beer list is long, the specials of the day aren't all that special, the service is mediocre, if not poor, and they only accept cash or credit. That being said, I have been here at least 20 times and am always happy to return. It's great as a meeting spot, its great to get work done, to have a drink, which inevitable turns to five or six, or just to sit and enjoy the square and the view of the beautiful church Saint Boniface. read more

Ditto other reviews... good food, decent prices, reasonable atmosphere, although the music is indeed loud. Would be quite difficult to have any sort of conversation during dinner. Service was not 'slow' when I visited, it was pretty much normal for what I've experienced in Brussels. read more

European version of a diner. It's a bit pricey considering the neighboring venues and their quality. The pizza is standard. The moules were home style, but nothing inspiring. My colleague had the steak and it looked decent. The real winner here is the beer menu; one of the most extensive I have seen at a European restaurant. It's always been crowded, the service average, and it's clean. I consider this place my dependable safety. read more

It is a nice place. It has a terrace and a diverse menu (but a little too large for me to trust, deep down ;)). It has awesome opening hours (late night food needed? go go go!). It is large enough for you to (almost) always get a table. A good brasserie. read more

The place is really nice, good atmosphere, good service, nice choice of beer and the staff is superfriendly. And no problem speaking english either. The downside is few vegeterian option and the food is like a lottery sometimes you get good food and sometimes you don't. read more

This is a massive place in the highly-frequented Place Saint Boniface. The menu is humongous and it is classic Belgian bar/brasserie food. You can go here for anything: food, drinks, dessert, anything you want, they probably have it. Service is quiet decent for Belgian standards and things come to you relatively quickly. They have some tables outside which are great to try during the summer or a sunny day in Brussels. read more

This is the place to be in Brussels! The food is very good and the beer selection is awesome! I also love the deco, the ambiance and the service is great too. I would definitly recommend this place! read more

Large menu with many food and beer options. The beer was good and the fries were decent- but in Belgium you can get good beer and fries anywhere. It was a bit pricey for what you get. Though there's not too much else in the area. read more

This is the place to be if you are a beer lover. The beer menu was insanely long. The food, however, was indifferent. My simple salade vert was gritty, and my bavette de boeuf, was an impossibly thick cut of flank steak that was quite tough. The fries were lovely, but arrived ten minutes after my steak. The creme brulee was delicious and a huge portion, but could have stood another minute under the flame. The wine list is minimal. This gets an extra star for being extremely convivial, having wi-fi, and being an excellent place to take up a table for an entire evening. Not a place for a great meal, but a good place to spend time if you're in good company. read more

Reliable pub food! All day service so no matter what time you can drag yourself out of bed on a weekend you can get a good filling hangover cure! Service is slow but that's fine as its how I'm normally feeling when in there. During the week it's great for coffee, cake and wifi although can get a bit noisy if you need to concentrate. read more

Great place to hang out with friends after work for a beer, a Sunday Brunch or just a coffee in a winter evening.

We went there for a dinner with friends on a Sunday night. Service is decent (a bit slow), but the beer list is extensive and the food tasty. Nothing fancy, but a solid place to take a group of friends from out of town. It is actually not that cheap, for 4 persons the check came to 65 euro for a meal and a drink for each of us. We had two salads (a chevre salad and a chicken curry salad), a steak and a flemmish carbonnade stew. Everything was good, but especially the chicken salad was delish! I go there regularly and will go again. If service was a bit more attentive, I would give it 4 stars! read more

Great place - this is everything a real bistro should be: large, fantastic understated decoration (think art déco dark wood panels, plus industrial sculptures), great choice of drinks, and quality thereof (when you want hot cocoa, how many places will offer you a glass of hot milk, with chocolate chips on the side so you can adapt the strength to your taste?). We didn't try the food, but the choice looked good as well. Nice service, too, quite professional under the relaxed attitude. It's crowded but you can usually find a table at the back, and a bit noisy but for a good reason: conversations flow, you're here to meet friends and spend a few nice hours, so get talking! This is the sort of slightly old-fashioned café that's vital when you want to escape the weather (this is Brussels, remember?) and/or get in touch with humankind again. read more

Atomic ! Great little bar/restaurant in a funky area, seemly populated by Brussels' arty-est individuals. Bag a table on the terrace and tuck into one of the huge, creative salads, accompanied (of course) by an ice-cold beer. Relaxed and unpretentious vibe - a little off the beaten track, but definitely worth seeking out. read more

I was served raw chicken! I went to complain to the person who served me stating that it's dangerous for anyone's health to serve raw chicken : no excuse, no "we'll pay attention for next customers" but on the contrary the waiter was rude to me and didn't want to deal with me... So I went to his colleague, who didn't apologize either and just took the plate back. I was then served half an hour later (enough time to watch everyone at my table eating their food) to be served again the same dish, just cooked a bit more... Of course, no apologies at all, and no effort on the bill! read more

Nice place in the Boniface area. It's a bit noisy and usually quite busy, but the atmosphere's good for having a drink with friends.

I went there the other day as I was ordering my beer the waiter walked away mid-sentence, he then came back with the wrong order and told me that next time I should speak up (after he had walked away in the first place), when I tried to tell him that he had walked away from me whilst ordering he told me to shut up, at that point I complained to the manager, whilst I was complaining the waiter was making gestures and mocking me in front of the manager - the manager did nothing. The waiter then verablized abuse at me asking where I was from saying that I must be Kosavan and as I left his concluding remark was welcome to belgium. I have travelled the world and never ever in my life have I ever come across such bad, rude, aggressive and abusive service... read more

It took a long time to get any service. Place is packed and noisy. I ordered a rocket salad. The rocket was turning yellow and tasted of nothing. The main course was OK. Took ages for the waiter to bring the bill. OK for beer but too noisy and food is mediocre. read more
