Stumbled upon this really cute restaurant when my partner and I were trying to find Monday brunch…read morespots in mid-July 2022. We walked around the block a bit, but could not find a spot that really caught out eye. After a quick Google search around where we were, we ended up chosing this place because we loved the name. The interior of the restaurant definitely screams "Instagram-worthy" but it felt on brand. I mean, it's a restaurant that features avocados! Well, I ordered a bun burger (the "buns" are actually avocado halves) and it was definitely a very creative and delicious choice. It definitely was not as ~basic~ as an avocado toast. In fact, I was pleasantly shocked at how full I was after the meal. Only thing that I will critique were the "nachos" that came on the side. When I hear "nachos," I think of a pretty heavily loaded plate of chips and loads of toppings... or is that because I'm just thinking of Americanized nachos? I was laughing at the singular beans that were neatly placed on top of the small globs of sour cream (see picture). Overall, I'm very glad that we stumbled upon this place. Wish this was in more places around me. I hope to happily stumble upon restaurants like this soon.

It's in a really nice spot inside one of the glass passages, which are worth a visit just for their historical glory and beauty.

Sweet curry, buffalo, barbecue... not ketchup and mayo. The line was long -- like the whole city had the same craving at the same time. Total Spider-Man meme moment... everybody pointing like, "Oh, you're me? You're me?" The fries were fresh -- not sitting there waiting on somebody. They cook them to order. You literally see the raw fries, then the cooked fries, and it's like an assembly line. One guy takes your sauce order, the other guy repeats it back like telephone, and you watch it get passed down and checked. You get hype listing sauces and then they hit you with, "Only three" before you get too crazy. Service is quick and friendly. They don't ask a million questions because it's simple -- we sell fries and sauces. What do you want? Ambience: tiny walk-up, as small as a food spot can get, but it works. No yelling, no "my order is wrong," none of that. There are tables out front so you can sit, eat, and people-watch on a nice night (or day). Amazing experience. Would absolutely recommend.

They also had their own tables and chairs outside their stall, which was very convenient. I would absolutely recommend everyone try this!

This is one of the few restaurants open seven days a week for both lunch and dinner. Serving fresh local produce in a relaxed communal atmosphere for very reasonable prices, they do not take reservations and the wait for brunch can be 30 minutes or more (in Brussels this is considered an extremely long wait)! We went to the newer and larger second location, which looks like an office building or private residence from the outside, except for the signage in the window. It's serve yourself buffet style, with dishes that change every half hour. For brunch there was an assortment of five breads, including brioche, nut, sweet egg, and whole wheat, to croissants. Three types of jams, three types of butters, a pumpkin turnip soup, a mandarin orange endive salad, a sausage and onion casserole, a parsley oil tzatziki, tabbouleh, an assortment of cheese and fruit, soft boiled eggs, fresh ham, and for dessert a chocolate fondant with spiced whipped cream on the side. Everything was so good we all went back for seconds and thirds! For 15 Euros, this place can't be beat:)

Huiselijk verborgen restaurant achter de Dansaert wijk…read more Les Filles werkt enkel met menu, donderdagmiddag is het enkel veggie maar op andere momenten maken ze eveneens voor de veggies graag uitzonderingen en passen ze hun maaltijden wat aan, in de mate van het mogelijke natuurlijk. Je komt binnen in de grote hal en via de houten ronde trap ga je richting de huiskamer. Je passeert de keuken, wat altijd fijn is om even te piepen naar hygiene. In de huiskamer voel je jou meteen thuis. We werden snel bediend. Heel vriendelijke staff. Het meisje dat ons verwelkomde was zeer beleefd, goedlachs en aangenaam. Alleen voor de staff krijgt Les Filles al een plus. Voor 25 euro krijg je aan tafel gebracht een aantal tapasjes en twee voorgerechtjes. Vervolgens dien je zelf je hoofdmaaltijd te gaan bedienen in de "keuken". De gerechtjes zijn biologisch en seizoensgebonden. Twee dessertjes sluiten het overheerlijke menu af. Bij het eten hoort ook een drankje en hiervoor heb je keuze uit een heel assortiment aan lekkere wijnen, tevens biologisch. Les Filles wil een waar huiskamergevoel creeren & hierin slagen ze 100%. En ohja, voor ik het vergeet, je kan hier ook blijkbaar kook workshops volgen. Misschien iets voor in de toekomst? Klinkt alvast veelbelovend!
