The service and atmosphere were nice, calm and welcoming.
Personally for me the food was not on top. We had a menu set, some dishes seemed unbalanced, not fully combined - duck breast for example.
One time visit as an experiment is fine.

Really nice and tasty food. Enjoyed my dinner and the place as well. The terrace is beautiful with some nice flowers around ☺️ one thing that I missed was an extra small plate for the bread as the olive oil was sprayed on the bread, which made it quite a challenge to make it work without being covered in olive oil! Desserts 🧁 were delicious though, perfect way to end our dinner 🥘

Too expensive for what you get. The artichoke tasted very bad, the fish was flavorless, the only thing good were the desserts. Service was quick though not very friendly. I will not come back either recomend it.

Update: June 2021. Not sure what happened to this place after the pandemic but from 5 stars I have to downgrade it to 2-3 stars. Their Amuse Bouche went from 4  elaborate mini appetizers to just a simple one. The lunch portions are ridiculously small. This time even the pork was very dry. They also changed their mini desserts from 5-6 delicious and delicate mini desserts to 4 tasteless ones. This is a shame and I don't think that after a loyal 9 years as customers, we will be back.

2018: Great deal at lunch time, it is difficult to find such a good deal at lunch time in Brussels. We have been here many times and we have never been disappointed. They have also a good menu at dinner time but the price will double.
