One of my favorite places this trip so far. We were almost stuck at an obvious tourist trap on the main road when the vibe didn't sit right and we decided to look up alternate places. So glad this is where we landed. First let's talk about the service. Victoria and Alejandro were exceptional. So detailed and thorough with their explanation of the menu and recommendations. Not only did they explain the dishes but also gave cultural context. It was wonderful that this was within a market but felt like its own experience. The jamón was exceptional. Buttery yet flavorful. Would highly recommend to everyone read more

Le Fin de Siècle - Ham with mustard sauce, Sausage with Mashed Potatoes - Brasseries Near Me - Brussel, BRU

While visiting Brussels we paid a visit to La Fin de Siecle. Upon our arrival we were shown to a table. While looking at the menu we noticed a sign that said "No Cards", we were surprised and decided to try a different spot. As we were walking out the waiter asked us if everything was ok, we explained that we were hoping to use our card, he told us no to worry that they would accept the card. We went back to the table, and we are glad we did. We had one of the best meal of our trip to Belgium and the Netherlands. I had a plate of delicious ribs. The plate was huge and I couldn't finish them all. My wife had some well seasoned chicken, wish shed loved. Beers we on point and my wife was introduced to her favorite beers from our trip, a cherry beer and later a peach one. If you are in the area visit La Fin de Siecle, you won't be disappointed. Go hungry and enjoy. read more

Very hearty meal for sure. Not familiar with Belgian dishes so needed recommendations from the server. He mentioned that these are dishes his grandma cooks. *Jambonneau Sauce Moutarde: direct translation means "Ham with Mustard Sauce". It comes as a whole pork knuckle tasting exactly like ham - not the texture but just the taste. *Lapin a la Kriek: Rabbit in Cherry Beef. Gravy is very good, meat is a bit dry esp the breast part Serving is a bit too big so be cautious if you are a light eater. Tonight's dishes are traditional Belgian food but I find there's too much meat. I don't think I enjoyed after finishing the dishes. Half portion of each would have been perfect. Have to say taste not bad though that's why it earned my 4 stars. read more

The place I REALLY wanted to go to was closed for a private party on our one night in Brussels so after some quick research, this place seemed like a good bet to please everyone in my party. We were fortunate and were able to be seated immediately upon arrival but by the time we left, there was a long queue outside. The menu is essentially a black board they move around the room as tables come in. It was not in english but it was most simple enough to figure out with some google translate action. I took advantage of their vegetarian and vegan options and ordered their vegan moussaka. GF ordered their traditional dutch beef stew. The moussaka was FANTASTIC. I wouldn't miss the meat because I don't enjoy it but even if you do, I don't think you would either. I've had moussaka in Greece and this was on par with that. I sampled GF's mashed potatoes and they were spectacular as well. Our waiter was aggressively friendly and jovial, almost too friendly. This place can deliver a solid meal. read more

This is the perfect spot for great authentic French food and great service! There's probably gonna be a bit of a wait if you go during peak dinner hours but it's definitely worth it. I ordered the sausage plate and it came with potatoes and it was really good. Great flavor and pretty filling for the most part. Very nice ambiance as well. Not super upscale but a nice spot for sure. read more

Had a great dinner here. Arrived a bit early @ 6pm and no line! I had the entrecôte Argentine, husband had the lamb pie. A beer for me and vodka tonic for husband. Both meals were plentiful and delicious. Service was excellent. Interesting that the servers are all male. And the bartender was female. Tiramisu for dessert was shared, a bit different presentation, but delightful as well. It's busy, loud and lively and there was a line when we left. read more

Great food and service 5 stars a must in Brussels. This restaurant was so good we ate here on back to back Nights. The owner and host was super friendly and attentive as was the entire staff. read more

Had an amazing hearty meal here! The French only menu stated that it doesn't accept credit cards, but we somehow talked the owner into accepting a card payment. I had the tastiest peach beer as well. We ordered a chicken tikka for myself and spare ribs for my husband. Incredibly they don't have french fries! When we asked, the owner was very emphatic they don't sell fries (Belgium is famous for them) or Coca Cola products. We opted to eat inside, there weren't many customers. They vibe was very casual, they had more employees than patron, who were talking and drinking beet. Still, service was good. Portions are massive, we were very happy to have found this place. read more

This was good! Had a gluten free section on the menu. They did label things that were Dairy free (but had about 3 cheeses listed on the plates) so I was a little nervous about the crepes. If you're good with buckwheat, I'd recommend. It was delish! read more

Must eat here. We had beef stew, rabbit dish and lamb shank. Food was amazing. Service was laid back. Busy place but we didn't have to wait to be seated. read more

This was a great find -- thanks, Yelp! We sat outside and there seemed to be a good amount of locals eating here too, which is always a good sign. It was fairly priced and I thought their Flemish stew was A+! The flank steak special -- which came recommended by our server -- was not as wonderful, mostly because it was undercooked for our taste. We finished off the meal with a dame blanche (basically, and ice cream sundae), and the chocolate was SO GOOD! Note that the menu is in French, so be ready to Google and/or ask for help if you don't read handwritten French. read more

Such an amazing-mazing-mazing first meal in Brussels! Some things to note: there will probably be a wait, seating is cozy, cash only, and menu is written on a blackboard in French behind the bar. Parlez-vous français? No? That's okay. Just ask your server for some recommendations! They all speak English and are more than willing to help customers. Beef carbonnade. Belgian beef stew made with Belgian ale and caramelized onions. The beef is so tender and flavorful and literally melts apart with the slightest touch. Paired with a hearty helping of mashed potatoes. Good luck finishing it all because it is a. LOT. Rabbit stew. No, I did not order this because I do not believe in eating anything as adorable as a rabbit. The boyfriend was intrigued by our server's recommendation of the rabbit stew, and I will say... from the one bite that I had (you know, just to try it out), it was quite tasty. Definitely tender and slathered in an amazing gravy. Pork shoulder. A giant bone surrounded by a giant piece of meat. Yep, that's the pork shoulder. At first glance, it looks dry and difficult to eat, but one dig in with a fork and knife, and the meat just falls apart. This place definitely knows how to handle their proteins. Definitely a must-eat if you find yourself in Brussels. read more

Delicious food with good outdoor seating. They also provide free water (which was hard for us to find in Europe!). I had the lentil salad which was large enough to share with leftovers for the next day. My family had the beef stew and pork knuckle and the meat was tasty and tender with a good amount of sides to accompany it (mashed potatoes and veggies). We had read in other reviews that they make fun of Americans or tourists who cannot read their menu in French, but the servers were all very nice. Maybe they made fun of us behind our backs lol. read more

4.5 stars Fin de Siecle was a bar and gastropub with a handwritten, French-only menu of (mostly meat-heavy) traditional Belgian dishes, along with a few international selections. Our friendly server took time and effort to translate and explain every item on the menu before we ordered, and my pick was the Lapin a la Kriek, or braised rabbit cooked in a sauce made with prunes, along with a generous serving of mashed potatoes. The rabbit was super tender and went nicely with the thick, viscous, savory sauce, while the prunes added just a hint of sweetness. I also tried the Chicons Farcis Sauce Chimay, which were endives stuffed with a ground beef mixture, wrapped with bacon, and served with a sauce made with Chimay (a Trappist beer). While nothing all that special, both of these dishes were filling and tasty (basically Thanksgiving on a plate!) and came at a decent value too (though beware that this restaurant is cash only). read more

Cash Only fyi An amazing meal. Lots of traditional Belgian options. Our server was very friendly which is key because the menu is written on a board on the wall and only available in French. Only thing I'll say is that he, and the other servers nearby, basically all assumed everyone was there to order one of the same 4-5 traditional dishes. When he mentioned a lamb dish I asked what other lamb dishes they might have and selected a lamb stew - agneau en papillote - which had a number of sizable chunks of lamb as well as tons of vegetables. It came wrapped in tinfoil and was mouth-scoldingly hot. It took a while for it to cool to the point whereby I could eat it comfortably. But not a problem because the food tasted great. The stew itself was tasty too and i mopped up some of the sauce with the bread provided. I would definitely return, but be sure to visit an ATM beforehand as its cash only. read more

Food is very good and the portion size is formidable. They gave me so many spare ribs I can literally play Jenga with the bones. The one big caveat is that they don't have takeaway boxes. I ordered some extra because it's so good and wanted to take away. They came back with two aluminum foils and told be they don't have any take out boxes... read more

We came here for our first dinner in Brussels. It has a warm, cozy atmosphere with wooden tables and chairs sitting closely together. My friend had the sausage and potatoes and I had the beef stew. It was quintessential comfort food on a cold Belgian night. I also warmed up with a Belgian hot chocolate. It's great because you add the chocolate chips to make it as chocolatey as you like. read more

Favorite and a must go to place in Brussels! Forget the places near grand place which charges you an arm and leg for the food as they state they've been around for over 100 years. Came here on a Tuesday at 7 pm and had to wait on line. Food and drinks were reasonably price. Cash only !!! Ordered the sausage and mash, pork knuckle, and beef stew mash for four people. Their portion is huge and we thought we would be ordering a fourth dish, but we were too stuffed. The sausage and mash was delicious and they said that the sausage is house made. Pork knuckle was my favorite as the flavoring was delicious and it was so soft where the meat fell off the bone. The beef stew had a nice flavor as it was stewed in beer. I even had to dip bread into it to clean off the sauce! read more

Ate here twice during my business trip... there are many places in Brussels to try, but this place was worth trying it twice. The food is amazing by one of the best chefs I've experienced. The meat was tender, well cooked, he puts a lot of passion in this craft. If I ever return, I'll know where I'll go for dinner. The staff was super friendly and outgoing. Good selection of beers too.... read more

A must in Brussels. Le Fin de Siecle is a traditional Belgian food establishment, where the workers are nice and English speaking (so do not get intimidated by the French menu that other Yelpers mentioned). Food ordered: 1. Stoemp Saucisse de Campgne (5/5) is sausage with mashed potatoes. My friend actually recommended this dish and the sausage was savory and sweet, while the mashed potatoes were light and fluffy. 2. Carbonnade a la Chimay (5/5) which is Belgian dish of beef stew with a dark Belgian beer based sauce. The beef chunks are tender as you bite into the meat, and the flavor of the stew that immerses the beef is amazing. You can actually taste a little bit of the dark beer (which some may like while others may not favor). Either way, this is popular on Yelp, and I am glad to have tried it. Drink ordered: 1. Peach beer (5/5): I am actually not a huge fan of beer, but this Belgian peach beer, was more fruity and less bitter than other beers, which was enjoyable. If anyone is looking for places to dine at in Brussels, go to Le Fin de Siecle. read more

There was a line to get it but now I know why. The service was great! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food came out quickly and it was delicious. I was traveling by myself and they were kind enough to accommodate me (one person) despite having a line outside the door. I asked for a Negroni and they don't offer the beverage in their menu but the waiter and the bar tender made it happen. They made one for me even though they don't make them or specialize in them. I was so grateful and the Negroni was actually really good. :) You need to try this place out! It's worth the wait! read more

We came because it was recommended by our tour guide for traditional food. We were seated right away around 6:30, and quickly got our orders taken.

My husband discovered this place and I am so glad! Upon first look, it doesn't look like much. An older building, Mismatched tables and chairs, all very close together. The menu is written (in French) on large chalkboards that are posted on the wall and it is cash only. HOWEVER, Our waiter was very friendly, asked us if we had any questions and gave us his top recommendations. My husband ordered a pork leg dish, while I ordered pork sausages. This! Meal! Was! Outstanding!!! Not only were the portions more than enough, but I don't think husband and I spoke this entire meal. We were indulging in this delicious food. I left so satisfied I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Looking to experience authentic Belgian cuisine while in Brussels? Look no further than Le Fin de Siecle! The line will most likely be quite long, but I assure you it does move. We, as a party of 2, waited about 10 minutes. Word is definitely out that the dishes here are delicious and reasonably priced! Our waitress was pleasant and helpful in pointing us towards traditional Belgian dishes. Another thing to note is the menu is not in English but in French and it's written on a chalkboard so you may have to go up and look at it to read your options. At her recommendation, my husband ordered the Carbonades in Chimay (beef stew). It was slightly saltier than expected but the flavors were outstanding! The beef was so, so tender. It was raining all day before our visit and this dish is perfect rainy/cold weather food! I ordered the rabbit with a sour cherry sauce and it was perfect! Moist, flavorful, and tender was the meat. The sour cherry sauce was quite unique and complemented the seasoning of the meat well. Make sure to bring cash as it's cash only! I'd absolutely return the next time in Brussels to try more of the menu, and I'd highly suggest this restaurant if you are seeking authentic Belgian food. read more

This was one of the best meals I've had in Europe! Everything was so fresh and delicious. You can taste the care and pride in every bite. We had the Jambonneau (pork knuckle) and Vegan Moussaka. Both dishes, along with the side items that came with them, were truly fantastic. I also enjoyed the bread in the pail. Also, I really liked the organic beer on tap. I highly recommend this restaurant and I can't wait to try it again. read more

Who cares if the service isn't the best in the world? The food is freaking amazing. I mean just stellar. If I could rate this place higher than a 5, I would rate it at least a 7. At least. Yes, the menu is written on a chalkboard in French. You don't speak French? That's ok. It's called Google. :) But in all seriousness the server will come and translate in English for you. I actually had someone tell me that as I was being seated so I didn't feel too intimidated (I also knew exactly what I was ordering so I wasn't too worried.) And I didn't see rudeness or meanness from any of the servers working the night I was there in terms of not translating. I got the carbonadde. I'm probably going to dream about this beef stew for the rest of my life. This is a death row meal to be sure. It's rather large and has a huge helping of mashed potatoes but I ate the whole thing so there's that. They have a really great beer selection too. Get one on draught. You like floral traditionally Belgium beer that is also made by a company that believes in sustainability, order the Leopold 7. read more

The best meal I had in Brussels! My friends and I did lots of research online before our trip, and we found this place serving traditional Belgian food highly rated. They are also open until midnight, which is great for flexible travel schedules. Lines get pretty long during peak hours, but we only had to wait 20 min when we got there around 8:30pm. The next night there was no one when we walked in around 11pm. Menu is written on a blackboard and seasonal. We went two nights in a row because it was so good! Waiters are patient and very nice, even though we were the last customers and they probably wanted to go home. Bread for the table is served for free after ordering. Drinks: would highly recommend the peach beer if you like fruity and light alcoholic drinks. It was super tasty! Food: since I'm lactose intolerant, I ordered the Lentil Salad. It had potato chips, lentils, fresh greens, and 2 roasted carrots. Great flavors! There's another Moussaka, vegan lasagna they order that was also incredible. My friends got the chicken salad, which comes with a full baked potato, 2 large pieces of sliced chicken, fresh greens and carrots, and a creamy sauce. It was a generous (HUGE) portion, so come hungry or share. Some dishes are also offered in half portion, just ask! read more
