Went here for a birthday dinner and was not disappointed! The atmosphere is nice and cozy, especially due to the candles. The seasonal vegetables were excellent, as was the squid risotto. The gnocchi was just fine. The lemon tart was great. Wines and drinks were excellent as well. Would go again!

Wonderful first meal in Brussels! This cute, hidden place has the most romantic atmosphere, decorated with vintage feeling paintings and lit by candles. The menu was creative and fresh. Food was absolutely delicious. Service could have been a bit better, but slower service is to be expected in Europe. This place is a must-try for foodies looking for an experience away from crowds and tourism

It's okay, most of the charm has grown up and moved out since this place has been called the most romantic restaurant. The food is solid, simple and good. Atmosphere could be a tat better kept.

On a weekday evening, we and another table were the only guests dining in the back room. The prices and quality of the food were excellent. The wine pairing suggested was also great. I really enjoyed the tasty meals. Unfortunately the service is not the greatest. We were told we were going to be given bread with the appetizers, but the bread was served about 8 min later. Then we were offered the dessert menu, but  after 25 min nobody had come to take the order. I had to go get the waiter and make our request. That's simply unacceptable. If the place had been busy, I would understand the delay, but that was not the case when we were there. Give it a go, but keep in mind that the service is not top notch, and maybe when you give your order remind the staff not to forget you.
