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.

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.

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.

Open from Wednesday to Monday at 07h00, the location on Fernand Cocq Square in the heart of Ixelles providing ample foot traffic, Larent grew up in his uncle's Bakery before studying in Paris to perfect everything from Sourdough to Choux and Viennoiserie. Diverse in its offerings, a curated collection of Jams and Spreads mingling with shattering Feuilletines backed by Dark Chocolate, traditional Pancakes are lightly sweet without addition while Liege Waffles see a delicate chew interspersed with Pearl Sugar pockets. Unable to resist a Doughnut, unfilled with just Sugar overlying pillowy Brioche, Renard's Almond Croissant was a touch soggy despite arriving by 08h00, while the Cinnamon Roll was buttery and aromatic without being overly sweet.

They also serve coffee (such as espresso, cappuccino, latte) so you can get a grab and go for anyone on the go. There is no seating area here, but service is super prompt so most people know what they'd like to order once they have someone attend to them. Some standout items I love: baguette savoyard de lardon, oignon, et fromage (savory baguette with bacon, onion, and cheese), morning bun, gaufre (waffle), pain au chocolat et amandes (chocolate and almond croissant), among others! Really, it's tough to go wrong with any of the offerings here and everyone we've brought to try this spot has returned at least once, considering they're only here for 2-3 days! There are days when the line is out the door, but it moves quickly and it's so worth it!
