You can tell they are made super fresh and with love. The meat fondue is so tasty and FILLING. It's also all you can eat, but we didn't get past the first go. The service is also something that makes this place stand out. I've been traveling through Europe for two weeks and this place had the best service hands down. The owner was so friendly, attentive, and funny. 10/10 would recommend and I will be back if I find myself in Brussels again.

The highlight of our trip to Brussels and the best fondue I've ever had!…read more Lyly's Fondue was an unexpected treat for us, after a long day of travel and walking up and down the city's hills. The staff is so inviting and we were lucky to grab a table without reservations (but don't follow our cue: call and make a reservation!). Although I have tried fondue dinners before, where you cook small pieces of meat and veggies in hot oil, we opted for the cheese fondue and loved every bite! The cheese fondue is simply bread and a bowl of cheese (with lots of tasty additional spices), but we added a meat board to supplement the meal. Definitely the right choice! Whether a local or a traveler, I would highly recommend Lyly's Fondue for your next meal in Brussels!

The cheese fondue was very thick and fatty, not sticking to the bread. The bread which we received was not sufficient and we had to beg for more several times, the last one waiting over 10 min while the cheese was burning. At the end the waitress was very rude again, making inappropriate comments about us to colleagues, picking up stuff on the table without any care and showing disdain. After that she ignored us instead of asking if we'd like a dessert on the bill and moved on to make agressive sounds showing again her displeasure. When a restaurant pretends on it's reservation page to be full even though it's empty, things don't look good.

Lack of cellular data and a an abundance of tourists inside gave us the impression that the Danish…read moreTavern may have been a good choice for dinner. Unfortunately it turned out that entering the Danish Tavern was a regrettable decision. The Good: Location is central and very close to Grand Place. The Bad: A lot. We tried ordering pre fixe dinners but found out only 2 of the menus were available for dinner even though there was no mention of it on the menu. We ended up getting the same meal- cheese fondue, steak frite with salad, and beer. The cheese fondue turned out to just be 2 croquets, "Beer on tap" was limited to only one choice, the house bread was flakey, and the steak was tough and well-done despite ordering medium. The fries were okay but nothing special and the salad dressing was pretty boring. A classic tourist trap dinner for €20. Would advise others to steer clear; there are many other restaurants nearby with higher ratings.

There were lots of pretty decent bars in Brussels, particularly in the old town, so why I went to a…read moreDanish themed pub is somewhat beyond me. However, I decided to check it out and I have to say that I wasn't really all that impressed, though it probably had more to do with me not being able to actually get inside and have a look around than anything else. Well, maybe it also has something to do with Danish beers being nowhere near as good as Belgium beers, so a part of me felt that it was a bit of a waste. I'm sure it is a bit of a change for those who are getting sick of the Belgium beer cafes, but it really didn't o all that much for me.

The breakfast is all you can eat and the best way I can describe it is Tapas for breakfast. There are definitely still traditional breakfast foods as well. As a matter of fact, the scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes were to die for. The eggs are fluffy and full of flavor. My favorite selections had to be the Italian inspired toasts and Mediterranean veggies. Make sure you also leave room for the fresh meats and cheeses! The croissants, breads and sweets are absolutely perfect to top off the meal. So much of the food reminded me exactly of my Italian family meals back home. You're missing out if you don't try this place! I can't wait to go back for dinner!

We decided to take advantage of their Pre Fix menu which included an appetizer,salad and main entree.

For our appetizer we had the Fried Calamari which was good but not great . My wife had the Mussels in a white wine herb sauce and Frittes . The portion was massive but very very good I chose the Croque Monsieur sandwich with fries and a small salad. Very cheesy and melted to perfection. Prices were reasonable in our opinion and service was efficient especially when you are in Brussels for a limited time.

Desserts a little on the $$ side for my liking, but then again you will only find me at Lilicup for cupcakes! Gladly they offer reduced take away prices, and I usually find that I need a second bagel to handle the huge amounts of filling they lash in! Huge range of fillings for all tastes and budgets.
