I don't know how this place could be #7 in BXL? How could the bar be set so low? It was the worst bar food I've ever eaten, drink menu was boring and the beer selection was meh.

Excellent and hearty food with a great beer selection. Very busy, but the service is good. Prices are reasonable and the portions are large.

After having read all the positive comments on Fin de Siecle I wanted to try it myself. They are open on Monday an I went early (little after 18:00) so it was busy but not yet full. The restaurant is very "basic", with old furniture, but it has charms. I had a nice (bit wobbly) table at the window, which... More

Our B&B owner recommended this restaurant as offering good local food at fair prices and we were delighted with the experience. The restaurant is located in a buzzy part of town and seems to be run by a happy group of Bohemian characters and frequented by a crowd of regulars. The servings are enormous and the food delicious - we... More

This restaurant showed all the right signs that it was legit from the moment I walked in. First of all, it was jammed pack, and not only with tourists- most were speaking French. Sign number two was the dirty floor. No popular restaurant in Europe could ever keep its floor clean. Sign number three was the lack of a menu.... More

Was triggered by the positive reviews in tripadvisor and visit was totally worth it. We ate with family, enough choices of different (partly local) food. Tasted excellent . Good value for money. Be on time though, place is very popular . Reservation not possible but kitchen has an amazing speed in preparing food do probably not too long waiting time.

After reading so many good reviews online, we decided to try this place. I liked it so much that i decided to write an online review. It's worth noting that I have never written an online review. I ordered the rabbit at the waitress's recommendation. I was not disappointed. It was delicious. My husband had beef cheeks. Very tasty, too.... More

First of all, be prepared to wait to get a table because there's always a crowd hovering by the bar waiting to be seated. The service is very efficient though and the staff appear to have everything under control. The place is one of those with long wooden tables where people share which lends to the good atmosphere and the... More

Having read many of the reviews of this restaurant, I was not surprised to find the place full of happy people enjoying their food and often socialising with the people at the next table. The menu is a single chalkboard, and service was busy but exemplary. The place features a large window screen and front windows decorated in the Art... More
