I have since learned ... these guys do a lunch that's a little on the spendy side, 22 EUR, with a set starter and main. Ours was: - House-cured gravlax, with a dill sauce - Dorade, crispy on top, with orange and grapefruit Zinnebier on draft. Sidewalk seating is on a really cool square just off the Place Ste Catherine. Service is friendly and fast for Belgium.

Very fancy seafood restaurant that is a perfect spot for a business meeting or to impress a date…read more Really fresh, made to order and very tasty. I sat at one of the bar stools and this gave me a great view into the kitchen area to watch much of the preparation. I opted for the Clam Chowder which took about 20 minutes to be made from scratch. Yes, they cooked it all to order and I was served a huge bowl with a bunch of clams and fish and corn and string beans and creamy broth with a small pot that had extra broth in it. Oh, my. It was tasty and rich and absolutely excellent. Not cheap and not inexpensive. This is top quality food and you're going to have an appropriate premium for it.

This place was as close to perfect as you can get. Small and unassuming but with the most…read moreincredible service and food I experienced in my entire time in Brussels. I actually went on a recommendation from a former colleague and was blown away by the thoughtful prep and wonderfully fresh seafood (with perfect wine pairings available). The atmosphere is also perfectly balanced. I can't rate this highly enough. I only hope they continue this level of quality. The fresh sardines were perfection with a bottle of Gavi and followed by a light preparation of sea bass and polenta. I will not miss the chance to visit this place again. Rock solid.

We liked the feel of the place, and the menu had some interesting options so we gave it a shot. The mussels were great, but the standout star was the sea bass with lentils and some kind of demi-glace bases sauce. The service was very good; everyone was very friendly. We realized over the course of the night that it must be quite popular with local people, since people kept coming by to check whether tables were available.

I came in search of a place that serves Anguilles au vert (eel in green sauce), which was something…read moreI wanted to try before leaving Belgium. It was kind of hard to find at regular restaurants, but this place had it on the menu! It's a tad expensive for the small portions, but you can fill up on fries and bread, lol. The food was well prepared and very fresh. Service was slow, though not by much more than average in the area. The set menu at dinner is a great deal for 25 euros but portions are small.

I agree with another commenter that stated the food is cheap and not good quality at all. The warm chorizo had no flavor or spiciness. The bruschetta with tempenade had a strong fishy flavor. The free bread offered is stale, cheap, flavorless white bread. Other downsides: this is not a clean place. There are splatters of food across the walls and menus. The menu is a laminated piece of paper, two actually. They can't be bothered to consolidate and reprint new menus. It is very dark and the night we visited, VERY loud. There is a three tapa minimum per person- yet another sign the of a cheap place.

I decided to message them, rather than slam them on Yelp, to let them know of our bad service. (They offered to pay for our food if we came back, but I don't ever do that, I pay my own way.) The next time we came was just for drinks - good, tall-ass icy cocktails on a hot-ass summer day, for 5 EUR each. And the bartender was really friendly and into talking to gringos.

The selection of beers on tap is decent, and they also offer cocktails and other drinks. They have a variety of food and snacks for those who want to eat or need a bite, and there's even a room with darts and billiards for those who want to take a break from their drinks (or drink and play). Side note: you'll need some coins on hand since a round is a few euros. It's a very casual and local spot that's perfect for a relaxed night out.

My drink was incorrect. Charged me for 33cl but received a 25cl glass. Don't think I'd come back or recommend this place for my friends. Had high hopes and came locally recommended
