Oh, am I frustrated with myself for not remembering the names of the patisseries we bought from…read morehere. I can certainly describe them though as they were delectable. Again the wife and I were off on our journey to simple the various patisseries throughout Brussels. We had wanted to get a bûche de Noël around Christmas time and stopped into this patisserie to see what they offered. Although the Yule logs weren't what we were looking for we really took note of the delicious looking patisseries. We walked by numerous times prior to our visit there last week, and after grabbing a sandwich around the corner we decided it was time to finally get ourselves a couple little treats. The shark is beautiful and clean and quiet and we, after staring through the window with the prospective patisseries, decided to go with a strawberry rhubarb as well as a peach mousse. The red one with the cookie on top in the picture is obviously strawberry rhubarb, and the whiter one with the white chocolate leaf on top is the one with peach mousse. I remember it also having a tropical note to it. These were delicious. It was cleared that time had gone into them as the layers were well-defined and beautiful and the flavour of the strawberry rhubarb was very strong and a nice mixture of sweet to tart. It was my and my wife's favourite of the two, but that's not to say anything bad about the peach one. With seasonal patisseries and different varieties of cakes and tarts, you can't really go wrong if you happen to be in Châtelain to at least walk by the window and rule over these delicious patisseries. In fact you'll be better off stopping in and getting a couple.

Unfortunately today, my 5 stars lost 3 of them due to : - overly priced cupcake and drinks (15€ for two cappuccino and 2 cupcakes not even served at our table) - the rudeness of the server & his lack of hospitality that changed right after his boss arrived (server is the skinny little guy) - urged us to order because someone was waiting behind us Common guys you're selling cupcakes which should bring happiness for the tummy and smile for the face of the customers !!! P.S. The owners (two ladies) were far more cheerful and enjoying serving their customers. Please re-educate your staff !!! We went on Saturday the 9th of December around 3pm.

I'm not normally the biggest fan of Portuguese food, but Forcado really blew me away. The pasteis…read morede nata were easily the best I've had. I talked to the son/manager for a while, and he informed me that it's one of the few places that still uses traditional techniques, and it really shows. I had a coffee and a classis pasteis de nata. The custard was so good that I ended up buying six more pastries to take home and share with friends. All of them were excellent, with a really perfect texture and balanced flavor, not too too sweet. It's hard to pick a favorite among the flavors of pasteis de nata, because they were all so good and so different. I'll definitely be back.

Their pastel de nata and port sounded really good and they were not expensive. They give you a number and bring out your food to your table.

Then port and pastel de nata were both quite good and took me back to my time in Portugal.
