Nestled near Place Stephanie, God Save The Cream is a hidden gem that truly deserves your attention. This charming slow-food restaurant emphasizes quality and flavor, with a menu that changes with the seasons to ensure freshness. Every Saturday at 10:30 am, guests can indulge in an enticing brunch buffet featuring delightful options like brioches and granola alongside unique dishes such as quinoa with cucumbers or tandoori cauliflower.
What I liked: - the food: healthy choice! Colorful and tasty! - price: I paid 19eu for a main course +1 drink (see photo) - service was smooth - nice set up I booked in advance. The place can be fully booked.

Just got round to posting this but I guess it is still valid. We were there around two months ago with a group of 3 others and while the place seemed nice I got sick a couple of hours after eating an early lunch (we all had a different breakfast but same lunch). Went to the doctor-food poisoning, Two others from the group who also had the beef pie experienced the same symptoms. Beware.

Amazing fresh food and drinks, full of flavor and reasonably priced (around 16 EUR). Not sure where the British twist comes into play...It's more is a neocantine than anything traditionally British...Maybe that's for the better ;-)

An underrated and quiet presence in the city that hosts a beyond-wonderful experience of a variety of coffees, teas, and pastries. The staff are exceptionally welcoming and attentive. There’s ample space to sit and enjoy some quiet. Visit Maison Renardy—you’ll be glad to enjoy their quality, fresh, and affordable beverages and pastries!

Can’t really say anything negative about this magical little spot. If you would like to order coffee/tea and have it served on a little silver platter, with a glass of water and a little choc too, this is the place. Everything is beautifully set, decorated, made. There’s food too! Pure joy coming to a cafe like this. I’m in love and am definitely coming back.

It is very frustrating to come here for a quick breakfast and see a note at the door "from 8 to 17 takeaway only". It is really 5 minutes to put this info to Google Maps. So as I see it, Maison Renardy disrespect its customers.

Another institution in Ixelles. Great for top quality coffee beans. They also make the best hot chocolate I have ever had. A true pity that the indoor cafe portion of the business is now closed and converted into take away only for coffee, chocolates and pastries.

Fantastic little place with the best hot chocolate in town. They also have high quality bonbons and other beverages like whole leaf tea. The neighborhood is great and the service is quick and polite. You can sit and read as long as you want, they don't bother. I reccommend trying the chocolates between 50-70%. Best!

Great place to have a brunch on a sunny day in Brussels. Nice food and lovely atmosphere at the park. I would recommend it. Update: well, still really nice place to go but be aware if you go there on Sundays when its full, anything you order can be forgotten or a glass of wine can come 20 min later. So service must be improved!
Oguz — Google review
A nice place to have brunch. Especially on their big terrace on sunny days. Even on Sundays where a lot of people come here to brunch you can easily have a table if you’re just with 2, but do make a reservation if you’re with a big group or on windy days because since it’s located in the center of a park you really feel the wind which makes sitting at the terrace a cold experience if you aren’t properly clothed. They have a weekday and weekend menu so do check it out in advance. It’s okay price & quality wise. The proportions seem small but they fill well and the food has flavor. Their mimosa is lackluster so for the mimosa lovers out there, take something else. Their staff lacks warmth in their service. Only the LGBTQIA+ waiter had a warm, welcoming and genuine service. The rest weren’t really approachable. It’s also one of these places where waiters are split to specific tasks and those tasks only, so not all of them are equipped to take your order. Thank goodness that even on a busy brunch Sunday the wait time isn’t long for food and drinks. Overall? It’s a place worth going for lunch, brunch or a chill date
LASSYRI — Google review
The location is just perfect. A very appeasing setting by the park. Laid back atmosphere, earthy tones with the deep green clay like walls decor. La fabrique attracts you with its natural style textured decor but it will fail to make you want to come back with its food. The food looks great but taste from bland to bad. As simple as that. You will sit and look at the waiter deliver food to the surrounding tables, drooling over the colors in the plate. Eggs royal, crispy chicken, pain perdu, it looks soooo good. This is why the let down is powerful. How can such pretty plates have such absent, bland, indistinguishable flavors is beyond me. The avocado looks nice and limey green but the taste is unknown, the bun looks golden and glossy but the taste is absent, the chicken bun looks unlike chicken and I still haven't figured out what it tastes like... There are no flavors to this food although it looks great and that is the disappointment. The interior decorator of this place was skilled. The waiters and staff are laid back and that is cool for me. I don't like places where the waiters hover too much. The cook...man...no offense. This food is too pretty to taste this bad. The whole time I ate my food trying to find the positive aspects of it, beyond the look of it. I had to eat it because I paid for it too and it was edible, just not pleasurable in any aspect... It's not even that it's not fresh, to me the cook is absolutely unskilled in the flavor and textures department. In the end, this place sells you an Instagrammable setting but it's not giving "restaurant where they care about the actual taste of the food" I will still go back for a coffee or a drink. I will never feel the need to eat there again... The 2 stars for the food is for the effort of making it look good.

First time visiting this place was amazing, second time not so much. Told that there was a waiting time of 35 min for the food but we also had to wait the same amount of time for 3 simple drinks. Unfortunate that we were not helped the first time Food was excellent tho!

Nice atmosphere and all but please take service more seriously otherwise people can also buy a carrefour coffee and sit on benches. This is not an important story but an indicator of what is wrong with your service: A waitress came by to ask what I want, I asked for the menu, she seriously forgot to bring a menu (the bar 5 meters away from my table) while the cafe was mostly empty. She even walked behind me with 10 menus in her hand. I went and gave my order myself for the overpriced products. In this case I would prefer to have self-service and 1 euro cheaper prices.

Recently, I witnessed inappropriate behavior by a young waiter at your establishment. He was a dark-haired young man — the one on the left in the photo — and this can be verified via your security cameras. I have known this park and your restaurant for a long time, and you have always had staff who love and care for pets. However, I was deeply upset when I saw one of the waiters carrying a dark-colored bulldog named Edgar by the scruff of the neck, and when he put him down, he began squeezing and scolding the dog. I don’t know what was wrong with this waiter, but this clearly violates basic moral standards for the treatment of animals. I urge the restaurant’s owners to take this matter seriously.

Additionally, Cup 28° serves ice cream in their famous bubble waffles, providing a unique and refreshing treat.
Lovely place to visit when in Brussels. Food was stunningly tasty and filling. Would highly recommend you pop in for a meal or a sweet treat. The price is well worth it as it can add up quite quickly if there is a few of you visiting. Ideal for children, 2y.o demolished his waffles which weren't to sweet and the side of fruit was perfect for him.

At first I guess since there were lots of people, the staff may have been overwhelmed which can be understandable...they we sat inside but they have a nice terrace in the back! They got one of our drinks wrong, and looked annoyed when we asked for another one (if we were in the wrong we would pay for the other drink, but we just weren't), and five minutes later we got the pancakes, very rich in taste, the fruits and syrup too! Even though the service wasn't too good but not bad enough for us to be disappointed the drinks and food were great!

My husband, our 5-year-old daughter, and I have been regular guests at Cup28 for years. Over time, they’ve refreshed their menu with delicious new additions, but one thing remains constant—the coffee is hands down the best in town. We always order the oat milk latte with honey, and it never disappoints. Cup28 consistently hires skilled baristas, so even when the team changes, the quality of food and drinks stays top-notch. The staff is incredibly friendly, and as the years go by, we've built warm relationships—they even know our order by heart. We're grateful Cup28 is always there for a tasty brunch, a perfect cup of coffee, a refreshing strawberry matcha latte, and a friendly chat.

Updated review 2: Thank you for taking the time to respond again. I appreciate that you’ve now acknowledged the need for clearer signs. Even when applying rules, communication and tone make a difference in how customers feel treated. Visiting a café should be a pleasant experience, not one that feels like going through a security checkpoint at the airport. Updated review 1: If there was a genuine safety risk, it’s surprising that the staff member chose to shout from a distance instead of calmly offering help or guidance to avoid me falling on the floor. Cafés in Belgium have a legal duty of care to warn customers about potential hazards such as wet floors, which should be clearly indicated through visible signs or notices. If the terrace was closed for safety reasons, a simple sign at the entrance or on the menu would have avoided this entire situation. The lack of apology in your reaction speaks for itself. Initial review: Cup 28 advertises its terrace as a key feature, with photos and tables clearly set up outside. After ordering my coffee at the bar and taking it outside (self-service), a staff member rushed over to say the terrace was closed — though there was no sign or indication. I was told to sit only on the smoker bench (also outside). When I mentioned I specifically came for the terrace, the answer was simply “No, it’s closed, otherwise other customers will also go sit on the terrace.” The café looks cute, but being made to feel unwelcome for sitting where it’s visibly open is not customer-friendly. Especially when it’s only a drink that I’ve ordered and carried myself to the terrace. A simple sign on the terrace door and menu could avoid this situation.

The cutest tea shoppe with a quirky charm! The owners are so warm and inviting, giving the feelings of happiness as if you were visiting your grandparents. The upstairs nook area is my favourite , so cozy. The prices for the teas and cakes were affordable. They also make their hot chocolate with real chocolate and a milk whisking technic that will have you craving it days after.

My experience was not that positive. First impression was good, felt cosy and planned to purchase presents from this shop after having a coffee and pastry. The coffee was ok and the pastry too sweet for my taste but I got really disappointed when in the middle of our talk an elder lady interrupted us in the middle of the sentence asking us whether we finished or not because there are new customers waiting. Never experienced such rudeness. And the charm of the initial impression quickly disappeared. Of course I did not buy the planned presents there. And I do not plan to return either.

Fika is a Swedish tradition that embodies the art of taking a break to savor coffee and indulge in sweet treats. At Fika, an inviting space with Nordic charm, you can experience this tradition through carefully selected single-origin Arabica beans roasted by renowned Cafe Capitale and April. Inspired by the Scandinavian concept of hygge, Fika offers a cozy atmosphere with wood accents and plush cushions.
Such a cute and calm spot. They have pastries to pick from that were great. I loved their iced coffee. I would recommend!

We had coffes and hot chocolate. Cosy atmosphere; very very relaxed (shabby chick); seemingly second hand or third/fourth hand furniture; which guves an impression of relaxation also because of earthly but lighter colour tones; some dried flower arrangements on the bar; super great muscavado sugar; good tasty coffee and good hot chocolate; creamy milk. Super friendly waiters!

Good coffee, homemade treats and a cosy ambience is what you get at Fika! I’ve previously tried their cinnamon buns but this time grabbed a slice of their almond-poppy seed-dark chocolate cake (gluten free) and absolutely devoured every bite. The cafe has a charming terrace with little benches strewn around.

"Fika" is the Swedish word for the concept of taking a break while drinking coffee accompanied with a sweet treat and/ or a good chat. I think it is the perfect name for this café. It is a little hidden gem, the kind of coffee place I would like to see more in Brussels. . They focus on good, fresh coffee and homemade (delicious) baked goods. You go there to enjoy your cup and a snack in a calming and lovely atmosphere. Especially if the weather is nice, you can sit in the backyard as if you were in your own garden.

One of the good coffee shops in Brussels. We have been here twice now. The coffee is amazing. The price is very reasonable. The only disadvantage I find of this place is the seating area. There is not a lot of seating area. But besides that it is an amazing coffee house. We also tried the cashew cake which was also very delicious.

The location couldn’t be better, and the blend of historic charm and modern comfort made it the perfect home base for exploring Brussels. We’d absolutely stay here again. The Rocco Forte flag is a hidden gem for Americans unaware of it.

A Truly Memorable Stay at Hotel Amigo From the moment we arrived at Hotel Amigo, we were blown away by the warm and personable staff who made us feel immediately welcome. Every interaction felt genuine and thoughtful — it’s clear that hospitality is a top priority here. The hotel itself is stunning, with beautifully curated decor that strikes the perfect balance between classic charm and modern elegance. Every detail, from the artwork to the furnishings, felt intentional and added to the luxurious yet comfortable atmosphere. Breakfast each morning was a highlight — delicious, beautifully presented, and served in a lovely setting. A special thanks to Claudio, who made our mornings even better with his attentive service, warm smile, and thoughtful recommendations. He truly went above and beyond. Also, the Concierge staff is really help and special thanks to all of them and would like to mention Christian who went over and above! A special mention also goes to the Bar Magritte — an absolute gem. The ambiance is both stylish and inviting, and the cocktails were some of the best we’ve ever had. It’s the kind of place you look forward to returning to after a day of exploring. Hotel Amigo exceeded our expectations in every way. We can’t wait to come back!

By far the finest hotel in Brussels. Rooms are meticulously maintained with exceptional lighting, linens and outstanding water pressure. The breakfast buffet is exquisite and selections for every taste. All of the staff went out of their way to accommodate my requests and were genuinely authentic and kind.

The Perfect Location:::: Hotel Amigo! Our room was relaxing with the 5 star level of luxury. Except for the view... there was none. It was an alley & brick walls. 😔 But... we did not spend time wallowing as we were exploring all the sites within walking distance including the Grand Place, The Best Waffels at the Wafflein, Chocolate shops & cooking classes, Museums including the Margrite Museum. There is so much to do so plan ahead! And always stop into the Margrite Bar upon your return. Specialty drinks 🍸 to delight.

We would give Hotel Amigo another star if we could. The finest Hotel we have ever stayed at. Unlike most five star hotels Amigo employees go above and beyond servicing your needs. Every employee greets you from start to ending . They are very well managed . I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Brussels.

Very happy to have tried this place. They have an amazing tea selection and the prices are quite ok. The tea pots are big enough to entertain you for an hour of intensive tea drinking. The staff is very nice and caring. They have two roomz, one with only two tables whuch makes it cozier. They accept cash and bancontact only. But totally recommended as a tea experience.

Nestled in Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, Mokafé Taverne is a charming Euro cafe adored by locals for its heavenly Brussels waffles. The bistro-style eatery offers classic waffles like the cherry-topped option or the indulgent Mikado with vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate. Beyond waffles, Mokafé Taverne also excels in other offerings such as omelets and home-style main courses.
Highly recommend this restaurant! The staff provides excellent service, the prices are reasonable, and the food is truly delicious. The waffles are amazing—authentic square-shaped waffles that are perfectly crispy. The egg toast is also fantastic. The dining atmosphere is pleasant, with lots of artwork displayed throughout the space.

I was eager to try their petit déjeuner though it left me with rather mixed feelings - the hot chocolate was great, real Belgian quality, so that alone made it worth it. The apple juice I got was also obviously natural, as well as the strawberry jam, accompanying the pastries. However, neither the butter croissant nor the baguette were impressive. Honestly, especially the croissant tasted like bought from a supermarket, and I really hope it's not the case. The price I paid was 13.95€ for a cup of hot chocolate, glass of organic apple 🍎 juice, 2 slices of bread and 2 baguette pieces, as well as a butter 🧈 croissant and butter and jam on the side. The service was friendly, but since the waiters didn't have their names embroidered on the uniforms, I had no clue who they were. The atmosphere is simple but nice. Overall 3/5 with some potential for more. P.S. they offer some of the eat-in dishes for takeaway as well, for a couple euros less.

First time there. A server came and seated my children while I spoke to him and queued up at the till to order. He didn't mention I could order from the table. Waited 5m in the queue (not easy with 2 small children already seated) and ordered to eat there. Server announced that ill have to pay a different price to eat there I was like, okay. Then he kept arguing with me to put the juice in my hand back in the fridge and go and sit and wait for another server to order and they will then bring the same juice to my child but later.

I was there yesterday. I ordered a matcha latte and a pastry, the matcha was fine but the pastry was really dry and it seemed old (I ordered it because the waiter said it was good and I was expecting something freshly baked). When I went to pay, I paid €8.5 only for that pastry… I should’ve definitely asked for a new one🥲 I probably won’t come back

1. Poor seating 2. Inattentive waitress 3. Stale croissant 4. Warm (not hot) cappuccino; No one in dining area and waitress seated me next to wait staff work area -- I had to pick up and move myself to seat by window. When I was ready to have my order taken I closed my menu and waited. And waited. The waitress was more interested in gossiping with other wait staff than attending to me. Finally another member of the crew nudged her over. Food was brought out quickly. Croissant tasted stale like it had been sitting out all morning (which it clearly had been since there was an open display of pastries). Usually cappuccinos are served scalding hot (perfect serving temp for a cappuccino is minimum above 60 C). This cappuccino was warm--almost hot. Bof. Will reconsider coming to this overpriced eatery again.

**This review was written 2 years ago but apparently only got released now? The situation might be different now. I wouldn't recommend this place if you are looking for a nice coffee in the morning. The quality of the coffee was really not up to par. I also bought a pastry and that one was quite good. I cannot judge their other breakfast or brunch options, but I am just making it clear that this is not a place for coffee-lovers. Note: Don't bother giving your reusable coffee container as apparently they don't know how to serve in it and they still wasted a paper cup and let me transfer it myself.

I am usually biased towards giving a positive review but this one doesn't deserve a good one at all. To put it in bulletins : - The Chai latte (tea with almond milk) arrived in lukewarm (ambiant temperature), and this is under the hot drink menu, strange really, I wasn't sure what to say. - I ordered the scrambled eggs toast, wasn't fresh as well and it took 45 minutes. But the surprise is that they gave me the plate with a small portion, and the table next to me ordered the same one and theirs was double than mine. 😂 I asked the waiter if there is something wrong, he went in and came back telling us sorry this is a small portion because we are out of toast, and he didn't bother suggesting anything to make amends. I mean dude, either tell me right away so I order something else or offer an alternative. But no, they prefered to let me starve and give me a small plate and with full price. I truly felt the current management doesn't have hospitality experience, or a kid was running the restaurant. I paid 20Euro only to continue my lunch somewhere else. I was laughing about this situation when it happened but now I realize how bad the management is.

Got off to a bad start as the table has a "number" in the middle of it. I couldn't make it out, by touch or by sight. You need to give the number when you place your order. It's a small metal disk in black . Old eyes . Anywho, ordered the wrong coffee, but loved what I got an espresso. Good food, I had the vegan banana bread which is augmented with seeds , lovely and crumbling. Very friendly staff, young and efficient. Lovely atmosphere, Saturday afternoon, families , dog owners, has a hip look and a certain je ne sais quio. Based in a wonderful community square, which has a book exchange opposite the café and a secure bike storage unit. Building work nearby. A good ebb and flow of folk. Thanks 😊.

My wife and I visited at the end of a very hot day for ice cream! It was quite busy and there was a queue however this was not an issue as it gave us time to view the wonderful chocolate displays. The ice cream we had was so good, that we decided to go back the next day! You can really tell it’s high quality, and uses real ingredients for the flavour. We were served by the same girl as the day before (I didn’t catch her name but she was very helpful to talk to us in English and go through each flavour with us, even letting me try a bit before committing to the flavour!) and the service was just as impeccable as it was on the previous day. 10/10 and I would definitely 100% come back here!

The food was great, at least the ones that we took from the choices on their menu which maybe not that varied. The wine that we chose might not be the best one but it was not a big deal coz it was compensated by the excellent service of the staff during that night. Would try the other dishes again in the near future.

I will go back to try some tapas (as they were quite good looking).

Service in Belgium is overall bad, unless you go and pay a premium price at an expat top choice location. This restaurant knows no limits in BAD SERVICE. - We asked small plates to share the starters. That request was not fulfilled. - My daughter could not finish her meat, we asked to take it away. They wrapped it in a piece of paper and brought it as if we are leaving a butcher. - They say you should tell if it is your birthday. We did so, they brought 1/2 portion of a cake from the day before many days and a huge flame with an ugly music and threw on the table and left. Please don’t offer this rotten cake ceremony 🙏.

Hinterland is a great place for brunch. I tried the delicious Strawberry French Toast. The brioche was almost perfect, although a bit soggy, which was unfortunate as everything else about it was perfect. The egg was nicely melted inside, and you could not taste it even though it was visible at the bottom side of the toast, which is unusual. Anyway, overall it was a great experience. Macha latte with coconut was also tasty. Service on a busy “Sunday without cars” was excellent too. Loved the place.

Toast, croissant and coffee for three = €18. This wouldn't be so bad if the host hadn't been so rude and brusque. He accepts cash only and doesn't apologise and made me wait to pay for no reason. I won't go back.

Bad food, not cheap, the guy is absolutely annoying and you cannot pay by card. The worst of all, he had a table with a couple of guys smoking, at the time they left, he grabbed the ashtray, threw the cigarettes on the street and left the ashtray back on the table. Never going there again!

Homemade limonade with lemon, mint and green tea sirup, so simple but ended up so wrong. Without any mint, only two little slices of lemon, sweet like a candy, no ice on a very hot day and the glass was miniature. And on top of that: a useless plastic straw.

Exactly disappointed with the food. There are only two meat options on the menu, one of them is raw meat labeled as American red meat. It's not clear from the menu that it is raw meat. The staff is bad in English, which is very wired for this kind of international hotel. Afterwards I changed to a simple burger, and after more than 30 mins the food is still not on the table. I assume they just don't want to serve you and make you wait. At the end I left the place In total. it was very uncomfortable from this location with a relatively high price. You can just sense the service staff really hate you, the negativity is high. Don't go there to waste your time, you will not have an appetite to eat

A bar with a fitting name, as it is top shelf all the way. Vast selection of whiskeys from around the world with more bottles of LouisXIII the your hearts desire... but bring your platinum card with you. You will need it.😆 A nice menu is a step up above normal bar food but still a relaxed place to take a load off and enjoy good company. Bar tenders can make anything, so bring your best challenge 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾. Bravo Loui

Unimpressed and very strange service. I ordered the filet and somehow the waiter kept asking me beef? I even said it in French but he was incomprehensible. I ordered the beer side sauce but it never arrived. The steak that was served was definitely NOT a filet and looked more like stew meat to me. I did eat it all because I was hungry. But it was tough as hell (see picture). My daughter’s spaghetti bolognese was not very good, especially for the price.

Natural caffè Louise in Ixelles is a beloved morning coffee spot with friendly and welcoming service. The baristas and staff make everyone feel like regulars, offering great coffee with a slightly fruity and acidic taste. They also have a wide variety of pastries, cakes, artisan sandwiches, and salads made by a passionate professional. The owner personally makes sandwiches to order and provides helpful suggestions for indecisive customers.
Natural Caffè Louise is a hidden gem in the heart of Brussels, located right on Avenue Louise. I absolutely loved everything about this place. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the polite and friendly staff who were very kind and accommodating, especially toward foreigners. It’s refreshing to see such warm service in a bustling city. The ambiance is incredibly cozy and reflects a blend of Belgian charm and modern comfort. Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to relax, read, or catch up on some work, or you just want to enjoy a good coffee while people-watching, this café has it all. There’s outdoor seating right by the windows, which offers a lovely view and a calm atmosphere for enjoying the city vibe. One of the highlights is their wide variety of coffee options, something for every taste. From rich espressos to frothy cappuccinos, everything is well-prepared and full of flavor. Their pastries are just as delightful, fresh, flaky, and perfect alongside your drink. The location is another big plus. It’s within walking distance to many popular spots in the city center, making it an ideal stop whether you're exploring or on your way to a meeting. Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Brussels!

This could be a five star cafe given the effort they put into the beans. The only reason it’s not, is the inconsistency of the coffee served. Unfortunately most staff members seem to have not received any barista training. It could be an easy fix and avoid a disappointing experience

This has become our regular morning coffee stop when staying in Ixelles. The friendly and welcoming service is the hallmark of Natural caffe. The barista and waitrons make you feel as though you are a regular, even if you're visiting for the first time! This will always be my coffee stop whenever I'm in Brussels. An absolute gem. The coffee is great. It has a slightly fruity and acidic taste. The service is fast and always friendly. They have a wide variety of croissants, pastries and cakes. The ones I managed to taste so far were all fresh and delicious. They have a few special menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner that I'm keen to try on my next visits. The carrot cake looks absolutely divine! There is seating for about 30 people inside. My favourite spot is at the window where you can watch people commuting to work. There are a few spots outside, and in summer I can imagine this is a nice place to enjoy your coffee.

Nestled in a serene area of Brussels, not far from the city center and near Parc Royal, My Little Cup is a cozy and minimalist coffee shop that has been serving specialty brews and espresso drinks since its opening in March 2014. The compact corner shop boasts clear branding with touches of characteristic Bruxelloise art nouveau architecture, while its floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light.
We stumbled on My Little Cup completely by chance—right outside our apartment—after spotting someone walk out with the most incredible-looking iced oat matcha latte. With quirky outdoor seating and a raised area that catches the sun just right (bring your SPF), it’s the perfect spot to pause and recharge. A solid selection of sweet treats keeps things interesting, and the staff were brilliant—super polite and happy to bring drinks straight to your table. A very cute little find!

My flat white was prepared using the guest espresso, which the barista said was fruity with a high amount of acidity. It was a good cup but it wasn’t as fruity as I hoped for. On a side note, I thought the place is long overdue for a fresh paint and a deep clean.

Chocolate shop
Laurent Gerbaud is a renowned chocolatier located in Brussels, offering a range of delectable chocolates and hot cocoa. The chocolate-making workshops held at his Rue Ravenstein address are a popular attraction for visitors looking to learn the art of making authentic Belgian chocolate. During these workshops, participants have the opportunity to taste various cocoa beans, create their own chocolate, and sample selections from Laurent Gerbaud's exquisite collection.
One of the locals recommended Laurent Gerbaud to get some hot chocolate and Belgian pralines. Truly it was a super rich and creamy hot chocolate - not sweet like many of the other chains that add sugar to sweeten the drink up. You also get one free praline to go with your hot chocolate. The shop is very comfortable and a good place to have a rest after a long walk around the city.

Akash — Google review
Stepping into Laurent Gerbaud in Brussels, I definitely had high hopes given the city's reputation for amazing chocolate. They've got a great selection of chocolate drinks, ice cream, and those little chocolate cubes. I tried a few of their chocolate cubes, and they were pretty decent. However, I have to say, it was tough to tell the different flavors apart – they all kind of blended together for me, which was a bit of a shame since I was expecting distinct tastes. I also went for the iced dark chocolate, and it was just okay. While the flavor was there, it felt a bit on the watery side, which made it feel less rich and decadent than I was hoping for, especially for a dark chocolate drink. It just didn't have that super thick, luxurious feel you often expect from a really good chocolate place. Overall, it was an interesting visit, but maybe not quite what I envisioned for a top-tier chocolate experience in Brussels. It's a nice spot, but I think there's room for improvement, especially with the texture of their drinks and the distinctiveness of their chocolate cube flavors.

We came here to warm up on a coldish spring evening. My husband loved their hot chocolate so much, he ordered a second one. He was not as amazed with their pralines. I ordered Americano and it was pleasant - not overburned, aromatic. Beware their Irish Coffee - they use canned appriximation of whipped cream with it, which is a totally unhealthy product that nobody should consume.

This place had the best chocolate that we tried in Brussels. Admittedly, it's also not the cheapest place around, but the quality is well worth the price. We ended up taking 250g of it home, and coming back multiple times, just based on how good the chocolate was. The service/atmosphere of the Cafe inside are great as well. Even as non-french speakers, we were able to order easily and staff were friendly. It's a bit of a walk from Grand Place area, but one I would definitely do again.

Friendly service. I really liked the hot chocolate. I wasn't a big fan of the homemade ice tea, but maybe that's on me because I have been trying many homemade ice teas at places all over and I've actually never liked any; I should order something else 😅 The food was great! I really liked the grilled cheese, the potatoes and bacon, and the fregola. The pancakes could have used something extra as I found them a bit lackluster. The price is reasonable. You get a small flag with your name on it, which I thought was funny. I'll definitely be coming back. We had to sit outside, so the recommendation of other people to make a reservation during the weekend should be taken seriously.

The atmosphere of the breakfast pub itself is very pleasant. We were disappointed with the service after about 15 minutes of waiting to place an order no one came to us, we also had to get the menu ourselves. You write down the names for your order on cards, this was also mixed up. The service is very chaotic. The food looks delicious but we only liked the toast and the egg.

Chose this place for my lunch, seeing good reviews. I was very disappointed, the only thing I could choose here for lunch was soup. As a drink I took iced matcha. It was brought fast and the matcha was nice, so nothing bad here. However soup was very watery with big clumps of something, I guess it was supposed to be cream soup but was not mixed properly. Was served with bread, so the only thing makes you less hungry was bread but come on. You don't come to a cafe for lunch to eat just bread. Adding photos. Spent 13,5€, left hungry and dissapointed. Had to go for another lunch. P.S. changed it to 1 star. As from my bank account they took 13.5€, but on the check they gave me it is 12.5€. Feels like a scam.

The day of workshops and presentations was a huge success, concluding with drinks of the terrace. Highly recommended!

We ducked into Belga & Co on a grim, rainy Brussels Saturday. Rue du Bailli gave us shelter. Belga & Co gave us… a good-looking mirage. Yes, the interiors are stunning, moody chocolate walls, gold ceiling, feature lighting, and a giant mask watching your plant based milk choices. But that’s where the magic ends. Sticky floors, stained menus, loud music, and zero sound absorption make for a chaotic experience. The seating? Cramped and borderline dangerous. I was perched on a stair-edge seat like a contestant in some caffeine-themed version of saw. The matcha was essentially green-tinted milk with commitment issues. The lemonade looked great but didn’t land. As for the coffee, it talks a big game, but tasted like something you’d grab at the airport while questioning your life choices. They claim no laptops on weekends, but enforcement was nonexistent. Belga & Co has the aesthetic, but not the follow-through. Would I return? Only for the lighting and a quiet identity crisis.

My gf and I are both from Spain and we're visiting Brussels for the first time, we forgot that dinner time was much earlier than in our country and most places had closed kitchens. We happened to see the sign, and we wanted to try with L'Estaminet. There we met Alex, super nice guy, who spoke Spanish and understood the situation well, and despite the time decided to cook us a tasty meal and seat down to eat with us and make us some company, we tried the soup, the quiche and a sandwich. Felt good and warm, what you would call comfort food, je also decided to make us taste Belgian Beer and Cider based on our preferences. He told us the story of the place, some local recommendations, and showed us around. Such a warming and welcoming place, can't describe with words how can someone make you feel so at home when you are thousands of KM away from yours. Much love to Alex.

This place is absolutely breathtaking. Not just the insides, but maybe especially the garden outside, which is so green and has a small fountain. That said, I don't think this place should be on happycow though. On the website they say they have several vegan options (vegetalienne), but then the sandwiches marked as such contain cheese. I'm tired of misleading marking like that. They have a vegan soup, but none of the sandwiches are vegan. The waitress said they could make the sandwiches vegan by taking away the cheese, but that's not a proper option. Still, a beautiful place to go, and the soup was very tasty. Great selection of beers, although they were not very cold (except the one draft beer they had).

If you are a coffee lover it can be challenging to find a good indie coffee shop in Brussels. Just at the edge of the central historic district you will find this gem. Friendly staff, great coffee and I managed to score the last of their delicious sourdough croissants which did not disappoint! Cool hip design. Bar seating, window bar seating and a few tables at the back.

Chouconut is a pastry shop located in Saint-Gilles, Quebec. It specializes in handmade choux pastries and offers a variety of different flavours. The staff are friendly and multilingual, and the coffee is delicious.
BEST. CHOUX. EVER. The owner and an employee were there when we got there, and they were so nice! They answered any questions we had, and were super patient with us! Note that buying to eat in costs a few euros more than buying it to go! I suggest buying them and walking to the park a few minutes away from there! The choux I tried were super delicious! Would definitely recommend going there if you’re visiting the area!

Unusual cookie flavours (I will try the pistachio one next), nice spot with nice staff. The must are the filled ‘choux’, that are not overly sweet which is much appreciated. Quite pricey, but a nice treat from time to time. You can also have a cup of tea or coffee while enjoying your sweets. Their homemade sorbets are very nice as well.

A cozy place with friendly staff. I tried the Crème brûlée donuts which is seasonal, they are crunchy in the outside and creamy inside. Not too sweet, I would highly recommend if you have a chance to try 🙌🏼 Also the cookies are delicious too. Taste gooey and moist, exactly what I looking for!

While we were waiting to find a house here in Brussels Caleo Café quickly became our daily spot. The food is really really good and very fresh and the staff is delightful. Quite a bit of options for vegan gluten free, always very accommodating. On the weekends at brunch you may wait a bit for a table but trust me, it’s worth it. Might I recommend their brown butter and sage latte made with homemade simple syrup. We really love Caleo Café and the staff.

I will never forget those pancakes with bacon. So soft, and with that butter taste that I love. Even that the place is small, it’s very beautiful. We were on the table next to the window on a grey Sunday, perfect for a hot coffee and amazing meal. The service impeccable. They were really fast even that the place was full and only 3 of them managing everything.
Laura M — Google review
The café has a really cute vibe, which I enjoyed. The food itself was quite simple and could be improved with a bit more attention to flavor and presentation, for example, the avocado I ordered with my eggs wasn’t seasoned. The service was also a bit inconsistent, as some items were forgotten and the staff was not super nice. With a few small improvements, the overall experience could be much better, since the place has great potential.
Mariana G — Google review
A scrumptious and cosy breakfast spot in the outskirts of Brussels. Really friendly and helpful servers. Quick service. Delicious coffee. Absolutely divine freshly baked croissants. They seem to use burnt butter in them which means they are on another level taste-wise. We ordered two different versions of the scrambled eggs on toast and they were delicious. Served on fresh sourdough bread. The eggs were fluffy and light and topped with paprika which added a nice flavour experience. A fantastic spot for brunch or breakfast in Brussels.

A very cozy breakfast spot with perfect morning music, a terrace, and plenty of seating inside. The atmosphere is great with very friendly staff. We had a small granola bowl; not much, but very tasty. Two excellent coffees and a croissant. Definitely recommended for a relaxed breakfast.

Edit: I do not know what you mean but I am a different person and I am quite frustrated that your place is open only one day. Plus, your attitude towards your customers here is plain rude and obnoxious. Everybody should know and avoid this arrogant place especially if you are a tourist and have limited time, people should spend their time better than drinking tea with mold (based on reviews) and being constantly scolded by such an establishment.
Selen K — Google review
I received a 40€ voucher for my birthday. The store is not in my neighbourhood so it took me a while to claim it. When I finally made it there, the voucher was expired a month ago - and there was no way to get even a part of the gift. “The system will not allow it.” Why would a tea shop issue cheques with only a six month validity?! The shop looks amazing but the service is not.
Joop H — Google review
I was planning to go and have a look for some nice presents, as friends and family are real tea lovers. But after reading through the usual very positive posts I do not feel anymore that I want to go, because I find it kind of rude how the owner reacts to the posts that express where customers were not happy. We will see how the owner reacts to this post...and maybe he can convince me to still pass by and buy from the shop...

This is my go-to, one-stop destination for tea in Brussels. The shop is tiny and can get very crowded on busy days, but the variety of teas on offer is astounding, the prices very reasonable and the staff knowledgeable and professional.

These people are beyond the pale. If one dares to comment upon the rude behaviour of their vendors, they will always find fault with the client. The possibility that their shop-assistants are really unbearably arrogant doesn't cross their mind. If you really want to get these teas, I'd suggest ordering them on line. Or trying to find a different supplier.

They use so much sugar! It is much more than needed, in my opinion. Seriously, who would like to consume so much sugar in a pastry given the scientific fact that sugar is not healthy to consume. I would humbly suggest them to reconsider the sweetness of their pasteries. New bakeries have already realized that people no longer fancy over-sweet pasteries and now there are many amazing bakeries that provide delicious pasteries. There is no reason for this place to stick to the old standards.

Beware tourists. Staff full of racists. Me and my mother was inside ordering food but the staff lady came to us and told us that it’s an expensive place to eat and we are not welcomed. Me and my mother was speechless and shocked. I guess it is how they treat other races. Maybe it’s their way of feeding their pitiful ego by treating foreigners like this. They should be ashamed to have attitude like that with such a potential cafe place. Not recommended at all.

The store is small, compared to the one in Brussels Zuid, but very nice, and very beautiful. The staff is very kind. I bought a small box of Imperial Matcha, and I'm glad I didn't buy a larger quantity. Although it bears the name Imperial, this matcha is not of very good quality. As a structure it is very finely ground and when touched it has adhesion to the skin. This is very good. On the other hand, the color is dark green, so it is an older matcha. Matcha that is of a higher category, that is, real, ceremonial Matcha, is of an intense, vivid green. This matcha is too dark, too old. An old matcha sold expensively. In the future I will not buy Matcha in Belgium without being able to see it. When I was in Japan, I used Uji Matcha, which is one of the best Matcha in Japan. I gave three stars because of how the store looks and because the staff is very friendly. Otherwise the product is not very good. A company like this should have a better trained buyer because these teas are very expensive, therefore they must be of good quality.

Interesting assortment of teas with a good quality. The shop's customer service suffers from the location: it takes everything too granted, and the service is not really impressive, unfortunately. Of course, I could just go to another branch - and I probably will do so in the future, 'cause I actually like the teas.

It was really a nice experience 👍 The food was delicious plus the Nans were really soft and nice, a real close match to what we get in India (unlike other indian restaurants in Brussels). The service was good. The ambiance was on point, music was subtle. The best part was that I have a small baby and did not want to expose her to too much crowd and hence, This restaurant is best if you want to dine-in after 7.45 or 8pm as the crowd is really less after that and you can occupy a lot of space for yourself and baby stroller etc. Must recommend 👍

Great dinner! I was invited here by a friend, and very happy about that! Very friendly welcome, and great food. I chose the lamb saagwala (lamb with spinach, fresh coriander and Indian spices of course) and it was great: spicy, but very balanced flavours, with soft and succulent lamb. The portion was just right; generous but not too much (I would have over-eaten myself, if it had been more, because it was too good…). We ordered two different naan breads (garlic and kheema), both were very good, and the portions were generous. I stole some of my friends’ Rogan Josh… that will be my choice next time. Because I will definitely come back here! I’m glad I live nearby… but I would drive to Zaventem if I lived in the center of Brussels, for a great Indian dinner!
