Besökte denna plats för frukost. Kanske inte ser så tilltalande ut från utsidan som de andra restaurangerna runt Grand place, men maten här är fräsch och smakade gott. Jag hade bråttom och behövde något som inte tog för lång tid att förbereda och mannen bakom disken såg till att jag fick vad jag beställde snabbt och var mycket öppen för att göra mig en anpassad kyckling aubergine ciabatta utan klagomål. Servicen var utöver det vanliga. Accepterar både kontanter / kort.

Bra ställe för snabb frukost nära Grand - Place, vänlig personal och utsökt mat. Vi kommer definitivt att besöka igen!

f028fef1-ae1c-41e0-bd65-2a93652d084f

Vi kom till frukost, inget komplicerat. Fasta croissanter och choklad croissanter. Bra kaffe. Frukostens formler är bra värden. Det finns kryddiga föremål (smörgåsar / baguetter, mestadels) och andra sötsaker (munkar, våfflor). Nästan nära Grand Place. Visas vara mer en plats för lokala folk än för turister, men det gör det bättre, IMO. Rekommenderad.

7255068e-1c3b-4c8f-a396-253bee2c9607

Bra kycklingmackor, om det är lite dyrt. Tjänsten var bra. Skulle säkert komma igen. Extra ord för att tillfredsställa TripAdvisor.

d5229b42-a43f-4658-bd95-9a72d9650e1e

Bäst kaffe i Bryssel, vänlig och trevlig personal och perfekt belgiska våfflor. Allt till ett mycket rimligt pris. 10/10 skulle rekommendera.

e5467c17-2c25-4ca5-ab04-4effe28e0bd0

Fripiers är den perfekta platsen att ta frukost, lunch eller till och med bara ett mellanmål. Deras smörgåsar är färska och mycket välsmakande samt deras bakverk! De har ett brett utbud av alternativ att välja bland också. Extra bonus: personalen är väldigt kul! ! Rekommenderas starkt.

bac2593b-de3c-4e97-b16d-808989497c12

god mat och rimliga priser Lite terrasse utanför och mycket vänlig service. Väntetid, även när den är bizzy

Sett från utsidan verkar ingenting speciellt här - du kanske ens tror att det inte är värt att besöka.
Men - Först välkomnas du av den lyckligaste personen i världen - dansar gör gott kaffe och frågar vart du är - och ger dig ett leende på ditt ansikte.
Och du får maten, kaffe mm och vet varför den lokala polisen också använder det här
Plats för snacks.
Högt rekommenderad.

Vi åt två gånger på denna plats under vår semester i Bryssel. Maten var mycket bra (främst smörgåsar, pizza skivor, etc) och du kan välja mellan mycket alternativ. Ju bättre var priset (ca 4 - 5 € per smörgås), med tanke på att denna plats ligger i centrala Bryssel. 100% rekommenderas om du vill ta bort mat eller inte har mycket tid att spendera.

ba77d21d-7a59-4942-a103-a5a1df1fa37f

Tittade överallt. Massor av fina restauranger. Massor av Kebab snd fisk n chip butiker. Pubar var trevligt men dyrt.
Här fick vi soppa, quiche, kycklingpanini. Med en kopp te och kaffe. € 15 euro. Över vägen var fish n chips 15 €. Biff n-chips var 22 €.
Tjänsten var riktigt bra. Vi talade bara engelska. Pekad och gestusad. De hjälpte så mycket.
Stort värde. Skulle rekommendera.

e9ea8352-7bfa-47ce-b10f-53ea4f2829b0

Jag fick en ciabatta och en muffin att gå, med kaffe. Tjänsten var snabb, kaffe och muffin ok men ciabatta med kyckling var riktigt bra!

220d63d0-5ce8-4c1e-914f-5c115d3dbe68

Killarna där borta är så vänliga och roliga. Fick en bra smörgås och ett stort leende. Underskatta inte denna plats.

e3f156e9-1c74-409f-9532-83b3219f3dee

Utmärkt personal, färskt och smakar smörgåsar, verkligen, riktigt bra kaffe. . . perfekt för en snabb frukost eller lugn lunch. Högt rekommenderad.

06f9585b-66bd-4031-9e1c-8a53eaae1590

Det slutade med att ha frukost här för de 3 dagar vi bodde i Bryssel. Enkelt, färsk mat serveras med utmärkt kaffe. Croissant med en Frankfurter och ost för € 2 . 50 Kommer att hålla dig ska åka til lunch! En mycket välbesökt kö föreslår en bra omsättning också! Mums!

c42d962b-16d2-44f8-8ad7-71d9623262a7

Fantastisk plats för en snabb takeaway baguetter, alltid upptagna, färska råvaror, bra pris, så trevligt vi kom tillbaka!

They are open very early which is a good thing, and it seems like the only place to have breakfast at 7:30 am. Located in the city center in Belgium.  The sandwich that I ordered was huge!  Orange juices looks fresh. Since traveling can be so expensive. I try to get my beverages at the hotels in Europe if they have  complimentary coffees. Not expensive at all, but this place is a take away, so not a lot of seating. I took mine to go, and ate at the hotel. Great for budget travelers!

d96ac7c5-f96f-40f0-a54e-5d20c85b51e6

The sandwiches here are pretty damn solid. Not the cheapest place for a small sandwich, although not terrible for Brussels. 

If you are craving a sandwich and want to grab a quick bite, this is not a bad spot.

4 stars on taste; 5 stars on location; 

3 stars overall... there just seems to be something off with this place.

f1bc7b53-096b-4ba4-97fe-dcfb7ce807ca

This is hands down the best sandwich/panini place that I found in 4 days of staying around the main Market place (old town). This place knows how to make bread and salmon, bread and chicken, bread and veggies ...actually bread with anything taste really good. The price of the sandwiches is perfect too. I went there for breakfast 3 days in a row.
