Succulent mussels in honest-to-goodness celery, carrot, white wine, cream, and garlic broth. And a basket full of chunky and cooked-just-right fries. What’s not to love? And the waiter brings complimentary starters while we wait for the food. After the mains, the Belgian chocolate mousse is a work of art: hearty yet smooth. Highly recommend. Must return to try the other seafood.

We stopped by this restaurant the first night we were in Brussels - great choice. We made a reservation (advise to do so) and stopped by a bit early - they were packed and we had to come back at the exact reservation time (table ready). The place is not very big, but well laid out. Like most tourists to Brussels, I was on the hunt for mussels and fries - and I found it. Lots of choices and a great serving size - small metal pot. The mussels were all cooked perfectly and tasted great. The fries were very good as well. The staff was very friendly and we had no problems enjoying our first meal in the city. Thanks.

Great restaurant with delicious food! I took carbonnade - very tasty with tender meat - with French fries, plus bread and butter, olives… Add good red wine and coffee. This was a lunch meal - for just very, very reasonable price (Eur 26). Excellent, efficient service. Nice atmosphere, not crowded at noon… I can only highly recommend this place!

The best meal we’ve had in Brussels so far! Definitely recommend reserving a table in advance because we only got a table because we came early and got lucky. We ordered mussels, steak, and salad! (recommend ordering less for 2 because it also came with fries and bread)
