If you are looking for a break from Belgium food then this is the place to go. We started with the…read morespring rolls which were the best I've ever had. You can tell they are made super fresh and with love. The meat fondue is so tasty and FILLING. It's also all you can eat, but we didn't get past the first go. The service is also something that makes this place stand out. I've been traveling through Europe for two weeks and this place had the best service hands down. The owner was so friendly, attentive, and funny. 10/10 would recommend and I will be back if I find myself in Brussels again.

The highlight of our trip to Brussels and the best fondue I've ever had!…read more Lyly's Fondue was an unexpected treat for us, after a long day of travel and walking up and down the city's hills. The staff is so inviting and we were lucky to grab a table without reservations (but don't follow our cue: call and make a reservation!). Although I have tried fondue dinners before, where you cook small pieces of meat and veggies in hot oil, we opted for the cheese fondue and loved every bite! The cheese fondue is simply bread and a bowl of cheese (with lots of tasty additional spices), but we added a meat board to supplement the meal. Definitely the right choice! Whether a local or a traveler, I would highly recommend Lyly's Fondue for your next meal in Brussels!

1) Rook en ventilatie Er hing enorm veel rook in het…read morerestaurant waardoor mijn ogen de hele tijd traanden. Dit maakte het eten heel oncomfortabel en je zit letterlijk te "eten in de rook". 2) Service en communicatie Veel zaken werden niet spontaan voorgesteld of uitgelegd. Zo werden frietjes niet aangeboden; pas toen we zagen dat de tafel naast ons frietjes vroeg, wisten we dat dit kon. Daarnaast moesten we verschillende dingen meermaals vragen (sla, extra vlees...). 3) All-you-can-eat, maar karige aanvul porties Voor een all-you-can-eat formule vonden we toch ook een beetje karig: met 6 personen kregen we maar 5 stukjes vlees bij de 2 de vraag. Kortom: sfeer en service vielen tegen en we zijn vertrokken met een onprettig gevoel. Voor ons geen aanrader.

As dinner beckoned, we stepped into the first restaurant (Mie Katoen) we saw. The restaurant was a surprise. The atmosphere and decor were very nice - the courtyard was lovely (although it was too cold for me to be sitting outside) and the interior was beautifully decorated with old books (like a library). The food (salad bar) was delicious and I could easily have that without the fondue or stone grill. We had both the fondue and stone grill that evening and we were fortunate to be wearing something that were easily washable. The smell from the fondue and stone grill stayed on the clothes and lingered for a long while after we left the restaurant! The ventilation of the restaurant could be improved. I would definitely want to be wearing something expensive in Mie Katoen. The other shortcoming about the restaurant was the language ability of the serving staff. While the serving staff were very friendly and eager to assist, there wasn't anyone who could communicate in English. This did cause a little difficulty and challenge when making our orders. I guess the restaurant don't see many guests from outside Belgium or the Netherlands.

The cheese fondue was very thick and fatty, not sticking to the bread. The bread which we received was not sufficient and we had to beg for more several times, the last one waiting over 10 min while the cheese was burning. At the end the waitress was very rude again, making inappropriate comments about us to colleagues, picking up stuff on the table without any care and showing disdain. After that she ignored us instead of asking if we'd like a dessert on the bill and moved on to make agressive sounds showing again her displeasure. When a restaurant pretends on it's reservation page to be full even though it's empty, things don't look good.

Selection is good but mostly fried or stir fried. Veggie menu is limited. Service is slow because the entire restaurant only has one server, one cook, and one prep. If you don't have reservation you will be turned down. I had diarrhea after eating here. Caters mostly to tourists so ambiance is good. However this does not make up for the quality of food which leaves much to be desired.

The one thing I did not enjoy was the cleanliness. I felt uncomfortable sitting next to the dying plants by the window, which attracted all sorts of bugs. I felt like the table had dirt from the plants and needed to be actually wiped down with soap and water. The floor needed to be scrubbed; the chairs had crumbs from previous patrons. Once the food arrived though, I forgot about this. There is a guy solo running the front. He took orders, brought out all dishes, and received payment at the counter. He asked where we were from because we spoke a bit of Mandarin. Cumin lamb was fried and very fragrant. Wontons in chili oil were big and juicy but could have been spicier. Sauteed cabbage was good - the only dish we got that wasn't spicy. Water boiled fish was numbing but could have used more flavor. It was just amazing to have white rice instead of potatoes for once in Belgium!! Credit card accepted. No American Express.
