Looked like a really old building from outside. Tempted inside. Only had a beer as was wandering around Brussels. V friendly/ helpful staff. Old building, well modernised. I'd recommend it. People on next table raving about the Mussels. So by that I'd say, have the Mussels read more

We loved everything about Le bistro. We are from New York and are spoiled with abundance of food, but the muscles we had at Bistro were the best we ever had! We also ordered the stew with beer sauce which was full of flavor and very tender. But the food wouldn't be as great without the amazing service we received. Our server, along with everyone else, are very attentive and constantly inquiring if you need anything. The owner should be very proud to have such an amazing staff! Would definitely recommend and if you ever in Brussels, this place is a must!!! read more

Le Bistro - Beef stew with beer - tender and so delicious! - Brasseries Near Me - Brussels, BRU

MUSSELS!!! For us it was mussels in Brussels, and my goodness they were delicious. This was our first meal in Belgium and what an introduction it was. Just a short walk from our hotel, we went there hungry and were not disappointed. Every adult in our group got the mussels with garlic and cream and it was everything we could have ever wanted. On top of that, the beer in Belgium is hard to beat, and they have plenty of great options there. And it's air conditioned to boot!!! If you're in Brussels, this is a must try. read more

Yummy food, exceedingly friendly and helpful staff, and kid friendly. We arrived on a busy Monday and took the option to sit outside by the heaters, we were offered to move indoors once it slowed but no need as we were warm. We had the goat cheese and honey salad which is a meal in itself, the stew, and of course, plenty of frites. Only challenge is the bathroom is a hike up and down stairs with no changing table, but that appears to be the norm in continental Europe. Will happily return. read more

I had the steak with fries and bearnaise sauce and shared a caesar salad. The steak was perfectly cooked and complimented well with the sauce and fries. The caesar salad was a sweeter sauce than im used to but was good, it came with strips of chicken standard. The staff was attentive and fun and complimented the atmosphere of the place which was raucous and loud. Great view of the street if you get terrace seating which they can accomodate. Despite it being loud we still could have good conversation among the table. read more

This place had incredible service. The servers were kind and prompt. The food was not the best in town. Their food lacked flavor. We ordered mussels, spaghetti and beef stew. The beef stew was our favorite item and pretty good! read more

Researched this place on yelp, having been disappointed by the restaurant we went to the previous night based on our guide book. We were very pleased with Le Bistro. The Grimbergen was great, with notes of malt and dark fruit. I had the entrecôte, since that cut is hard to come by back home. It was tender and delicious, and the sear from the flame was obvious. Even so, the herb butter still managed to add something. I also had the chance to taste the steak rossini, topped with foie gra and a sauce of port and foie gra. The sauce imparted a rich, meaty flavor. I highly recommend either dish. read more

Great mussels and the pork knuckle with mustard sauce was awesome. 1) It is not the giant Bavarian pork knuckle and it is very good. 2) Don't let the mustard sauce fool you. It is not some heavy mustard taste but almost a gravy sauce with a touch of mustard. I wanted and 8 oz cup with a straw to go. Both me and my wife felt the mussels were tops and a bit better than those we had in most cafes in Paris. Then, the view makes it great for the gram. A castle! read more

Friendly service, relaxed ambiance and great food. We ordered a few items from the menu and we were all pleased with our meals. I had the goat cheese/honey salad, the garlic-cream-wine mussels and fries, everything was yummy, I will be going back on my visits to Brussels. Give it a try!!! read more

Le Bistro - Mussels - Brasseries Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Service was excellent as was the food. Had the garlic shrimp pasta. Was there Saturday night by myself. Work trip. Excellent gin and tonic.

Summary: Great food. Fun servers. Pretty attentive, but had to flag servers a couple of times because hopping place. Great stew and Penne Arrabiatta. Great beer, and bonus digestion mint tea at the end was very nice. My wife and I had just arrived in Belgium and were looking for some well-rated food nearby when we discovered Le Bistro. We arrived at around 7pm after a short walk and were seated immediately, even though we had no reservations and the whole outside patio was full. Throughout the dinner, more and more tables were added on to the patio area as crowds continued to grow. As advised by travel vlogs online, as soon as we got the menus we took a look to decide on both drinks and food, then placed our order for both the next time a server came by. He was quick to return with our beers, and then a few minutes later the food was at our table (shockingly fast). I ordered the Flemish beef stew with french fries, and my wife ordered the Penne Arrabiatta extra spicy. My stew contained tender pieces of beef in a fantastic savory gravy, and my wife's pasta was well prepared with excellent flavors and textures. It was delicious food with excellent quality. Throughout the meal, the servers came by multiple times to check on us and ask if everything was good. We did have to flag them down to get the check and pay it, but aside from that, they helped make this meal a fantastic start to our stay. Highly recommended. read more

We went to the museum across the street yesterday afternoon and popped in this place for lunch. Atmosphere was quite lively. I ordered the Fleming beef stew which came with fries. It actually was pretty good despite the fact that I had ordered the same dish from a different joint the night before. The meat was certainly tender and the sauce is alluring. My wife got the specials open fried fish which she liked a lot. My son got the lasagna which he was so so on. Food wise we give it a 3. Service was spectacular though and especially at the end, we got treated to free hot mint tea and my son got a cookie. Totally didn't expect this so that was nice. I do recommend it to people looking for a place around there. Lastly they have free wifi. read more

It was a busy Monday night. The restaurant was packed. We waited about 10 minutes and was able to get a table. The three of us ordered the garlic and white wine mussel, meatballs, and beef stew to share. The mussels were excellent. They were cooked perfectly and the seasoning was delightful. The meatballs were nothing special. The meat was slightly dry. The beef stew was well seasoned. The sauce tasted great with the fries. The service was excellent. All of the staff was extra friendly. We enjoyed our experience. read more

Mussels and mussels and mussels! You have to order the mussels here. You get a side of fries and some bread so you're set. I tried the Flemish stew, rabbit and pork knuckle. Although all three were good, the mussels were the real star. Perfectly steamed with a briny broth. You can easily take down 2 lots of mussels on your own! read more

-Great and friendly service. Staff was open to explain everything in detail since we did not understand the menu. -Loved the rustic/cozy environment -the food was very good. We tried the carbonade (Flemish stew) in three different location and thought the one we had here was the best one. The meat is so so tender. It's a stew with french fries; nothing special but worth trying since it's their local dish. -have the mussels. I loved the fresh taste and it's worth the price. A gigantic portion - we also had garlic shrimp. It super tasty, a little oily, but it was very good. -attached in the review is a picture. Carbonade, mussels, shrimp and one coke: 55€. We think it's worth it since the mussels dish was gigantic and it also came with an additional French fries. read more

I don't think I've ever been better served! The ambience and staff was extraordinary even on an unusual busy Monday. Clearly understaffed we were still blessed with the best waiter (Babbis). Quality, quanty and price met all our expectations. The 1kg of white wine mussels for 21€ was good and humongous! My Kriek rabbit was so flavourful (the sauce!! I could bathe in that sauce)! If you're only going one place for dinner I highly recommend to go to le bistro!! read more

Good food and a nice view. If you are nearby Gare De Midi in Burssles, and are looking for a nice place to eat a traditional dinner, then I warmly recommend this place. First of all, it's location is superb. You might think it's near a so-so neighborhood, but as you walk to it, you'll pass a lovely park and, as you dine, you'll have a marvelous view of what used to be a city gate. The dishes they serve here are well made, and they offer many classical European dishes, ranging from Steak, Pasta, Salads, Seafood etc. All of them looked really good, and tasted wonderfully. To top it off, they have a nice selection of drinks, both alcoholic (with a nice selection of Belgian beers) and non-alcoholic (good lemonade). The staff is nice and friendly. Only downside is that it does not offer anything special, meaning a dish you can only have here and nowhere else, and price's aren't cheap. If you are wandering around the city and need to find a place to eat, which has some classic dishes you know and love but also offers good Belgian food, go here! read more

Love this! Rabbit stew, fries for 2, salmon beer and wine May need to make a reservation or get there early. The shoe store next door is legit. read more

The most fun we didn't expect to have! First, note that they take reservations and it's worth placing one, just in case. The manager and the wait staff really made the experience phenomenal! I've never seen waitstaff moving so quickly and dynamically - from tossing bottles up a flight of stairs to flying (like Mary Poppins) down the stairs - the restaurant does not advertise the free show, but it was impressive! Kostas (I hope I'm spelling this correctly) was our server - he was attentive, fun and - like everyone else - extremely efficient! The drinks and the food - amazing! We ordered the pork knuckle, the Flemish beef stew, and a waffle - delicious! At the end of dinner, Kostas and the manager brought us Limoncello. 10/10 - will definitely return next time I'm in Brussels! read more

Decent food in a gimmicky place. Fairly good though. Some traditional dishes, good meat and fish selection. Had the Chef's Gamba's and the Beef Skewer with Green Pepper Sauce. Not bad, even if I've had better. Especially in Brussels. All in all it's a good place to go to if you're near anyway. But don't go out of your way to go here, it's simply not thát good. read more

Simple, friendly, great deco, democratic price a great finding at Porte de Hall. I found this place by accident and will definitely come back! The menu is simple, with everything you can find in a typical brasserie, don't expect an elaborated menu ;). Great for groups, near the metro station is just perfect to meet friends. read more

Great authentic Belgian brasserie/bistro. Try the Flemish beef stew and the waffles. Cuisine, service, atmosphere all top-notch.

Went for lunch...pretty busy Got a table immediately. Beer list is minimal, but won't complain about it since this was the best part of the meal. The mussels were salty and the taste was bland, I would recommend not ordering these here. Also, we ordered the burger. It tasted like reheated beef that was previously cooked. It was not good. The fries were fine, not crunchy, not the classic Belgium fries. If you are looking for a good meal please go elsewhere. read more

Love the burger. The staff is fun and friendly and my wife says they're hot. They are. Looking forward to trying their stew! read more

This is a really fun place. The mussels were outstanding and the portion was huge. Great carpaccio and croquette appetizers. We really liked the pineapple dessert and the waffles with ice cream and chocolate. It's loud, crowded and was a little too warm. But this was part of the great atmosphere. The night we were there, there was large group that spontaneously broke into song. It was very special and beautiful. read more

Fantastic staff that made for a phenomenal evening. As we were not familiar with the local beers, they did a great job recommending beers. Scrumptious food. Great atmosphere. read more

This place has brilliant service and delicious and fresh food. The Moules Marinieres were fantastic, as was the Moules Vin Blanc. The beer is served cold and the wait staff is one of the best I've ever seen. We left there happily satisfied and with the feeling we had dined with close friends. Damian and Arsene are awesome! Highly recommend this place! read more

I had the carbonnade or Flemish stew after reading the reviews on here. It's honestly really good, and sweet. Ordered a half goat salad and they delivered a garden salad; immediately brought me a plate of goat cheese to make up for it. The mint tea at the end I was a nice touch. The staff are over the top friendly speaking English easily and warmly greeting everyone. They even greet the Chinese tourists in Mandarin. Popular with locals but the tourists are pouring in with reviews like mine! read more

Here you can enjoy some real Belgian dishes (and beers of course) at reasonable prices. As a vegetarian, I usually go for the cheese croquettes or a salad with goat cheese. Ingredients are always very fresh. Seafood lovers can enjoy mussels here prepared in different ways. The place is usually packed with return customers. Try to get a table on the terrace or at a window for splendid views over the Porte de Halle. read more
