Our server, Ludovic, was really great. Polite, attentive and helpful given that we didn't know the…read morelocal specialties. I ended up taking the shrimp croquettes as a starter and the fish and chips. The croquettes were a little too fishy but they were still good. The fish was lightly battered and quite tasty. The fries were thin and nicely golden brown. The service was impeccable. There was a birthday table next to us and the manager gave everyone cake after asking us if he could dim the lights. A very nice experience...easily recommended.

I've been to L'Express because they show Premier League football games and we were pretty much…read morestruggling into finding a bar that did that this specific day. There's a bit of choice for tap beers, mainly all kinds of grimbergen that exists and completed by bottled beers. The staff spoke to us a bit about the game and the Premier League in general which was nice. But I've also seen some weird people coming to this place and kept staring at us at some points.

This ended up being fortuitous, as the wine was not drinkable! The mojito I ordered before was probably the worst mojito I've ever had as well. The rude waiter disappeared for long stretches and acted as if he couldn't be bothered. The place itself is crowded, too-brightly lit, loud and smoky from the opened doors with smokers hanging about. A tourist trap, and just quite awful. AVOID!!

This place is wicked. It has one of the best entrances to any restaurant I've ever seen (sounds…read morestupid but it really is clever). It looks like an expensive place from the outside but its really not too bad. Its got a really good style to it with lots of booths etc. Only found it whilst there for the day, which made it extra special. And oh yes the food isn't bad too. Check it out.
