The 31 best spots for soup in Brussels

I recommend it if you want a savory meal that will fill you up for the day. The green onions are fresh, grilled onions are soft and the garlic taste is present, but not overpowering. I loved the texture of their pork. The rice felt a bit too old/hard. Miso soup had no tofu in it but it came with a subtle garlic aftertaste and sesame seeds. The seating arrangement is deal if you are by yourself, not an issue if you are with a friend and you get to sit next to each other. Your glasses might steam up since you are seated around the kitchen, and the smell will impregnate in your clothes. If you need to use the restroom, you will disturb all the patrons seated and eating their meal. I got to relisten to Katy Perry's hits, luckily food came out quick. Staff enjoy to chat and are very friendly. Take-away is available. Nice beer options.

best ramen in brussels. authentic, simple, and delicious. the place is small and cozy, but with an actual ramen bar which i love. katsudon is also bomb

I had a delightful experience here in Yamato! The gyoza were really tasty, and the katsu rice meal was both flavorful and satisfying. The young staff were attentive and added to the pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I went here during the museum night because the place i first had in mind was packed. So decided to check this out with the good reviews. Inside it was packed you had to wait (it isn't super big inside), but we didn't mind to sit outside for it. I picked miso katsu ramen. And when i got it and i was a bit dissappointed with it. This is not a true japanse ramen at all. the flavor of the miso is weak, the noddles used aren't the best picked for it. It felt like how some chineese places say they do ramen and you eat it and noticed it is not ramen. exact same thing here. The food itself was okeay if you look on it on its own. But as a ramen ? I have to say this one failled.

Their Ramen and pork(if you are allergic to pork,stay clear from here)dumplings are highly recommended according to us. They have live cooking and have anime posters and mini figures on their shelves Fun Fact: If you are a fan of TinTin or Herge,the name of the restaurant is the same name as one of the bandits aiding Misturiato in the Blue 🪷 Lotus

The place is very small but charming, definitely a fun time for people that want the traditional Japanese eating experience. Because it's so small, the time you have to wait between the moment you order until you get your plate is very short! The food we got looked good but tasted bland. I don't think it was worth the price.

Great food, good music, good people, cool interior. We had the gyozas that we particularly loved with its super good sauce, then the miso katsu ramen that had a delicious bouillon, homemade noodles and great bamboo pieces. We were so full, the ramen portion is really good. The Yuzu beer was super nice and refreshing. The service was great, we had smiling and caring staff. Will totally recommend! Thank you!

Excellent Thai restaurant just steps away from the Grand-Place. The food is tasty, the vibe is homely, and the owners & service staff couldn't be more kind. Really a great place to stop by for a filling meal right in the centre of Bruxelles!

It's still one of the nicest Thai restaurants in Brussels. The food is good, but compared to my visit a year ago, the richness and bold flavours seem to have dropped slightly — especially the spice and coconut depth. That said, the staff are incredibly warm and helpful, the atmosphere is cosy (though a bit tight), and the prices are excellent for Brussels. The menu is well-balanced — not too big, not too small. A great spot overall, just hoping they bring back the flavour magic from before! If I were living in Brussels, I'd come here every week to dine in.

After reading all good reviews, I was excited to try Pad Thai in Thai Talks restaurant but I was highly disappointed. It tasted nothing like Pad Thai but just instant noodle. The food was not worth the money.

We were exceptionally impressed by the service and the food. The prices were surprisingly very affordable given its location and the food was very tasty. The man that served us whom I believe is also the owner was really kind and friendly, with very good disposition towards guests. I’d recommend it to anybody who would like to stop for a meal while visiting. We definitely enjoyed it a lot!

Restaurant was wonderful with great veg options and a relaxing place to eat, especially after a busy day. Staff was friendly and fast. Truly hidden gem status.

The food was amazing, it is a small family owned place, usually for takeaway but they have 3 tables outside where you can eat. Toilet was very clean, the food took a little more time than what is expected but it is obvious it is cooked fresh. I highly recommend to a casual dinner.

The food was a bomb! It was very delicious, literally coming here for the somtam a.k.a the almighty papaya salad! They really do good for the seasoning for the food ! They have a really authentic taste as well tho ~ so if you’re looking for taste i highly recommended this restaurant 😁

Authentic Thai restaurant with fast service. Already grabbed lunch there several times, always a good quality. Perfect for a quick lunch without reservation

The tastiest thaï restaurant of the neighborhood ! We both picked curry meals one veggie and the other one with meat. Lovely and kind staff. We were well greeted and had a nice time.

As a fan of Thai food, I walked 1 hour to reach this place, and the food is not disappointing at all. Added some spicy chilli flakes for the flavour and the food was amazing. Payed 28 euro for main course, water and dessert.

Nice Thai food. No glutamates in their kitchen. Acoustics to improve. We were called attention for having an “intimate” conversation. Perhaps what needs to be improved is the sensibility of the clients with an ear on other tables’ conversations.

Cute little Thai place. With actual Thai cooks. Pad Thai is tasty, but in my opinion not dry enough, but the red curry that my partner took really pleased her.

AKN went in this wonderful place with his girlfriend. The waiter was very polite and kind. Good food and positive vibes, POI BOI... Bets Pad-Thai in Brussels

the unpleasant experience. Upon walking into the place, I was greeted by the most condescending waiter I have ever come across. Not only was the restaurant dead, but the waiter's customer service skills were also equally dead. When I politely asked if they were open, he felt the need to give me a whole explanation as to how things work, as if I was a child who didn't know any better. If the door is open and I am here it means we are open 🙄. Things went further downhill when I placed my order at the counter and was scolded for doing so. Apparently, they had table service and I should have waited for him to come and take my order. I found it absurd that such basic information was not made clear to me at the beginning. As for the food, it was as tasteless as the waiter's attitude. It was just a blend of flavors that did not make any sense. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a good customer experience, as the waiter's demeanor was enough to make me want to walk out.

This place is really cute, and the food is great! The only thing I’d mention is that adding fried elements like shrimp and chicken to the ramen makes them soggy, losing the crispy texture that fried dishes usually have. Also, it wasn’t clear that this Takumi location doesn’t use pork. Other than that, it was a fantastic experience!

We have visited Takumi many times but this time we were super dissatisfied. The Ramen was tasteless and was not hot even. The chicken rice curry set was simply our biggest disappointment. The rice was cold, hard, sticky and very hard to eat. The curry was sagging and the chicken was smelly and super salty. There are definitely better ramen places in town. Staffs are very friendly and nice.

Came here for dinner, managed to get a table after waiting for about 15-20 minutes. A small diner, with efficient service and good food. The meat was halal, and we tried two kinds of miso ramen and their iced tea (would recommend!) staff was really lovely and we’d love to visit again.

Delicious meals bursting with flavor, served piping hot. Friendly staff ensures fast service every time. A perfect spot where taste meets efficiency.

Both the Kara-Ebi-Miso Ramen and the Tan-Tan Ramen had rather watery broths that lacked depth of flavour. The noodles and toppings were okay. Ultimately, of course, it's always a matter of personal taste.

My favourite place. Since I found it I always go to eat. Never dissapointed ! Staff frendly ready to help, food not heavy and with a big amount. You recive what do you pay ! Big quality and quantity of food ! 10/10 for takumi. Tip : try to keep the toilets more clean ! Thank you !

As we got there we had to wait a little bit for a table but it was definitely worth the while. The restaurant has a great vibe to it. The food came very fast and it was delicious. The staff wasn't very friendly but I guess they were maybe a bit stressed to get all the orders out. It was also a bit loud inside. However, I definitely recommend getting some nice spicy ramen.

A restaurant at a crossroads. You place your order first, then sit at the tables, which are not comfortable. After that, the waiter brings your order. The food is somewhat good, but the prices are high. The bill was €65 for small portions. The smell of the grill is also annoying. I do not recommend it.

This place is great and always packed with people but the service is very quick! There are tables across the street but it is self service! We had the shrimp croquettes and oysters! Both were amazing and really flavourful! The atmosphere was great with people from all ages having fun and enjoying good food and drinks! I would definitely visit again!

Visited in Oct 2025. Lunch for two. You need to first order your food at the counter. Then go find your table (like in a food court). When your food is read, waiter will call/shout your name and bring the food over. We had fish soup, sea snails, grill sea bass, razor clam and a small white wine. The food tasted ok. Portion was a bit small. It was still a interesting dining experience

Seafood is my favorite meat. And this place got variety of seafood. I had fried calamaris, razor calms, fresh oysters plus a French bread with something that I forgot what it was, possibly shrimps. Razor calms are rare, I didn’t expect to see it on the menu, it was a must. 4 different dishes satisfied me in one time.

Noordzee (Mer du Nord) in Brussels is a beloved spot near Sainte-Catherine Church offering incredibly fresh seafood in a casual, self-service setup. Customers order directly at the counter and enjoy their meals standing or at high tables outside, creating a lively street-food-style dining experience. The seafood is consistently praised for its freshness and quality, with popular items including shrimp croquettes, oysters, grilled fish, and fish soup. Prices are reasonable, and although seating is limited, the atmosphere is vibrant and authentic—perfect for a quick bite or a light meal outdoors.

This place serves fresh sea foods and its delicious. The place gets really busy during the day. It is closed on Mondays. There is a big outdoor seating area and also a small indoor seating area.the food is freshly prepared and when it is ready they will get it to you by calling our your name.i had to wait for a while for my food and went to the preparation counter to pick it myself. The taste was good. Surely recommen this place.

Amazing experience! Even though the kitchen wasn’t fully open yet, the staff was super friendly and served me salmon tartare on fresh bread — easily one of the best raw salmon preparations I’ve ever had. It was so good I came back later the same day to try more. Warm service, great food — I’d definitely return next time I’m in Brussels

The pizza was decent, though the toppings could have been better. They seemed to have been used straight from the fridge, as water was visibly oozing out when served, which affected the overall texture and flavor. The tiramisu, unfortunately, was a complete disappointment. It tasted as if it had gone stale or was poorly prepared. The mascarpone and raw egg mixture was runny and unappealing, while the ladyfingers were mushy and watery, completely overwhelming my palate.

The food was amazing friendly staff and pro tip order a drink I had lemonade will help you eat food with ease kindly specify and if your don’t eat too much salt also info before

Pizza is mid, very chewy and hard to cut through the crust it has a weird mouthfeel, almost gummy. Despite the texture the flavour was great. All around 3/5 pizza. Ambiance is warm and bustling with chatter which I liked. 🍕🫶

A lovely spot for outside dining that blends a young atmosphere with an oldschool traditional Italian feel. The food is authentic, the wine is good, the big pizza oven an eye catcher. It's the place to be…which means you may have to wait for a table in the evening but it is absolutely worth it. Perfect for couples, families and friends. The menu is focused on pizza. For pasta, you'll need to visit their sister restaurant just 50 meters down the street.

They use fresh quality ingredients on their pizzas. It’s a good vibe with good eats and house wine. Recommend!

I had high hopes for Nona, given its reputation as a pizza specialist in Brussels, but unfortunately, the pizza didn’t quite meet my expectations. The cheese was too milky and lacked the consistency and richness of a proper mozzarella, which made the overall texture less enjoyable. On the bright side, the service was quick and friendly, which made the dining experience pleasant despite the pizza falling short. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a try for the atmosphere and service, or their twin pasta restaurant.

Great pizzas for really good prices. All their ingredients are sourced locally and the pizzas are really good. Menu changes seasonally aswell.

The handmade noodles are a must-try! They were perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. The place has a simple charm, and the service was very efficient. I'll be back for sure!

Noodles are very good, but tofu they serve is cold and not well integrated in the rest of the dish. Also, they totally mix their sriracha sauce with water as it’s too liquid and not spicy…

best noodles I had, that are not italian, if you know, what I mean. prepared to perfection. small menue, but big portions. we came to the opening hour at 12 and the place was packed just 15 minutes later. we will come back.

Amazing place, easily one of my favourite dinner spots in Brussels. Amazing service and friendly staff, you can see the noodles are self made, which I absolutely love! Also, it’s a very good price for a huge bowl of selfmade noodles! The taste is amazing and you will feel so full after. I can only recommend it 🫶

The only good point is the handmade noodles, even though they are really heavy. The ingredients are tasteless not really coherent. It didn’t bring me back in China but just uselessly fulfilled my stomach. I tried But it was really disappointing and too expensive for what it is.

The only authentic thing is the worker!! The broth is definitely not authentic but the noodle and the proportions are good tho. Just the broth is not hitting the Asian standard. For 15 euro I think it’s not worth to come here.

Had lunch here on a Tuesday. It was the only Chinese place opened for lunch on a Tuesday. The service was quick and no fuss. You can see the noodles are made fresh in front of you. The toppings are prepared in advance. It was simple pricing for the noodles; soup €15, pan fried €16 and €17 (for the third style). My French is poor so I could not make out the styles. It was by far the cheapest hot meal I had in Belgium. The portion was very generous, but don't expect the broth to be authentic.

Nice place! The food are so good! A bit slow in the preparation anyway, good experience.

Sustainable Levantine-inspired Homemade Food Pois de Chiche is a must-visit for anyone looking for a sustainable dining experience. This restaurant serves fresh, homemade Levantine-inspired dishes made with local ingredients. The cozy ambiance and eco-friendly decor add to the charm. The menu features standout dishes like sabih, berloumi, cauliflower sharwarma, creamy hummus, and crispy falafel, all bursting with flavor. Sustainability is at the heart of Pois de Chiche, from eco-friendly packaging to efforts in minimizing food waste. Dining here means supporting a business that cares for the environment.

We had the best time, the food is great, the view is really chill and cozy and the waiter was super friendly and welcoming, amani her name was, she’s really great ! We will be coming back 🧆💞

Tasty and inventive menu, we had the plate of the chef , which includes a bit of everything 😋 The mint Thea is very good too Sesame Biscuits 🍪 are delicious !! Just a bit pricey tho but it’s worth trying 👍🏾

I don’t usually write Google reviews but as I’m sitting here I felt like sharing this amazing little spot; instant Brussels fave! I ordered the chefs bowl since it has most options included; a great variety of salads, beans, fried halloumi, cauliflower and eggplant, soft flatbread, crispy green falafels and you know I love a good hummus! (since I got the word tattooed on my arm) the chefs bowl looks fantastic, is just bursting with flavour and this home made ice tea is soo yummy! the atmosphere is cozy, the people welcoming and the jars of dried chickpeas in places (even bathroom) add such a fun original touch in decor!

Wow, my eggplant wrap was delicious. That said, beware of the drink costs! My lunch was about to be a bit over 11 EUR (eggplant wrap + extra haloumi) but I got an iced tea (unlimited refill) and it went up to 18!! They didn’t list it on the menu so I didn’t know the price until my card was touching the machine, how tragic. Also the breed of house music that was being played here was unbearable!!! I love dance music but time and place!!!! The other songs were sweet tho. Would recommend! Service was great

I had a great breakfast experience at this restaurant. You can have it brunch-style or order individually. The unique thing here is all products are from the local Belgium farms. They start operating as of 11h00 in the morning. The location is right at the Church door in downtown Brussels City. Recommended 👌

Stunning food! Loved it and the service was friendly and quick. I had the Dragon bowl with egg and my friend had it with tofu! Beautifully flavoured and it felt healthy! Light food that filling especially in this heat. This is definitely worth the experience.

Amazing food! Tastes fantastic, lots of options and imaginative range of ingredients and a lot healthier than most places you can eat out at. Staff spoke fluent English and were very friendly.

This is a very solid four stars for a vegetarian restaurant. We had the Dragon Bowl and Happy Bowl, and both dishes were very flavorful. The Dragon was more oriental in flavor while the Happy Bowl was reminiscent of a European style salad. The freshness of the salad was good but not amazing, which is the reason for the solid four. Overall, we would eat here again to satisfy a no meat meal.

Some vegan options. The "super bowl" was delicious. Many different ingredients, all fresh and a tasty sauce. Generous portion.

My bowl & water was 20 euros after adding one egg, but it was very little portion, I am going to have to eat something else.

Highly recommended! All the dishes were vegetarian and very fresh. Despite a large rush of guests for lunch, the bowls and ramen were prepared quickly and the portions were very generous. The quality of the food was outstanding. Everything was very fresh and extremely tasty and full of flavor and aromas. Many thanks to everyone, the kitchen and the friendly and fast service.

Really delicious and tasty food. Fast and friendly service, welcoming you and serving you with joy. A great non touristic alternative in the center of Brussels!

Good food, good prices and services was perfect! Large plates and nice food. Highly recommended!

Despite being busy on a Thursday evening, I was able to snag a table without a reservation. I ordered the Horia plate, which offered a variety of dishes. While the carrot and pumpkin were undercooked, I enjoyed the rest of the meal. The fresh, warm bread was a nice touch. However, the restaurant seemed understaffed, leading to a slightly longer wait time for service. A little pricey but I guess you’re paying for the quality.

A small eatery with a small and delicious menu. I usually go for lunch and they never disappoint. It's easy to grab a small bite like soup and flat bread with hummus, babaganoush or goat cheese or a bigger portion of tagine or other middle eastern dishes. It's nice to sit outside if it's sunny but it's really cozy inside. The food feels so hearty and nutritious I always try to go when in town.

100% recommended!! Food is delicious, waiters are really friendly and the vibe is cool. Good place to enjoy dinner/lunch for couples or small groups. Better to book a table since the place isn’t too big and it’s always busy! ☺️

We've had some really good food in Brussels, but this tops the lot. We had the Horia plate which has a mix of lots of tapas and vegetables - it was delicious! The accompanying bread was also superb and I recommend the Harissa too! Fantastic food, great atmosphere, great service, very reasonable price - everything you could ask for in a restaurant!

This place is quite famous in Google search when it comes to Middle East food in the center of Brussels. I found the food very good but I must say that the outstanding item in this restaurant was the bread. We got this absolutely fresh, soft inside, with a wonderful crispy crust on the outside bread that blew my mind. The most wonderful part was when we got a few extra pieces to finish our meal. Simply remarkable flavour on that bread. We tried a couple of API beers but one of them was not pleasant at all. Good location and definitely nice staff!

A very pleasant find in the city centre and, for once, the reviews are spot on. Great food, honest prices, friendly and competent service. We had a lovely time and won't hesitate to come back. Highly recommended!

This spacious cafe is good to catch up with people, to work or to go on a coffee date. This place has several places to sit, inside and outside. It is a bit loud though since there are always quite a lot of people inside so keep that in mind prior to going here but it’s still okay noise wise to have a conversation. The food is good and you have several options. I ordered their pancakes with fruits and this is one of the only places that is generous with the fruit quantity because most places only add a ridiculously small amount of overpriced fruits, but not here so that’s awesome. I tried two of their fruit smoothies, the ‘Sunny’ and ‘Pura Vida’. Both were really good and tasted fresh. The service was not impressive and slightly average. Specifically at the till. The person was cold and unpleasant to order so they should work on that.

My mom and I went for Brunch there almost a year ago and still remember it. The food was soo good, and nicely presented. The place was nicely decorated and luminous. The coffe was delicious it was Overall a really nice experience. There was a lot of people working too. Overall it was a young atmosphere, good to read a Book, work a little or have a chat with friends. It is self Service.

Nice coffee shop close to Bois de la Cambre. International, startup, youngster atmosphere… ice coffee was not the best I drink, sadly

Absolutely loved the cookies and hot chocolate both were fantastic! Rich, comforting, and full of flavor. A perfect little treat that made my day.

The cafe has become a feature in BXL and was for years the standard setter for both coffee, sandwiches and brunching. It has survived the change of ownership and the menu has been rationalised, but is still good and the service is excellent even on busy Saturdays. It is popular for brunch and tables can’t be reserved so plan accordingly. NOTE: The cafe is currently undergoing renovation and I am giving 2-stars for the unacceptable lack of toilets - no explanations, no advertising and no apologies and no deals with the neighbouring cafes to allow spillover.

Extremely crowded every time It takes 25 mins to get a coffee. If you go with the take away option you have a 15 mins queue and then 20 minutes waiting time: absolutely not worth the wait. I wonder if they play domino / monopoly in the kitchen to take as long to get anything done.

Nice café to work with reasonably priced drinks. Quite unfortunately, though, half of the interior is currently closed off due to works, including the toilets!! For a place that hosts a lot of remote workers, it would be important to note this somewhere at the entrance so people are aware! Had to leave early because of this...

We found this restaurant under a google search for affordable eats and decided to try this Chinese food for lunch. We arrived after the main lunch rush and found seats for four people within moments of arrival with no wait and no reservations. The food was delicious. The portion sizes were large for the price and the shared rice at the table was efficient. We tried 3 different beef dishes. What also impressed me the most besides the great food flavor was how clean the restaurant was! I would eat here again!

After a 10 days river cruise, my wife and I are ready for some authentic Chinese cooking?. We arrived right where they just opened at noon on a special day which is the no car Sunday at once a year thing in Brussels. Somewhat simple menu but by the restaurant being full within 20 minutes after we sit down, it says all! Both dishes we ordered are being very delicious, full of flavors and perfectly seasoned! My wife and I thing we will continue to come back in the 5 days we are staying in Brussels!

Service: Prompt and courteous service. Food: Generous portions. I loved the house fried rice(mixed meat with prawns). And the hot and sour soup was just the right thing to have on a cold windy day. Location: around 800m from Brussels central station. Ambience: nice and cozy restaurant. Seems to be quite famous as it was pretty occupied when I visited for dinner. The only drawback is that in order to pay with a credit card the minimum amount needs to be around 16 euros. So I had to order soup and have it right there at the restaurant and I took the fried rice for take away which was my original plan. But since the soup was so filling I couldn't really do justice to the lively fried rice.

Probably one of the best Chinese restaurants in Brussels. Some dishes are really good, with rather authentic taste. Other dishes could be improved, mostly by increasing the amount of protein in them (e.g. stir fried pork noodles had very few pieces of pork). The price of some dishes is slightly higher than expected. The service is efficient and the people working there are very polite. The space can be very hot sometimes, especially in the summer. Still, this is a place where one can enjoy very tasty and authentic Chinese food.

What an amazing and authentic Chinese restaurant to stumble upon! We got seated immediately when we came, but even on a Tuesday evening it got crowded really quickly. Everything we ordered was delicious and the Shanghai style beef was particularly amazing. The service is as authentic as you’d expect Chinese restaurants to be, so the food came out quick. It was definitely a no-frills restaurant but we left with full stomachs and were so happy to have found an authentic place in Brussels!

This place is very Chinese! Not too much adjustment considering European customers. Experience shows "Chinese" restaurant in Europe are the better, the less they care about what taste local people in Europe might like. Ok, naming the place "Gourmets Everyday" is an overstatement 😉. It's nice, reasonable food. That is a lot, compared to the most addresses introducing themselves being Chinese restaurants! And sure, the place is kind of a time machine. In a city center in China you will find restaurants designed very modern and fancy.

We called on a Sunday to make reservations for the same night at 8 pm (FYI - ressos are important in Brussels because once they’re full, they’re full - you can’t even wait). We showed up at 7:30 to see if they would be able to seat us and they did. I initially found this place on Google because we needed some Chinese food and this place had good reviews/was close by our hotel. I’m not sure if the food was worth the 40 minute wait, but it satisfied the craving. We had the steamed pork dumpling. This was pretty meh - you could get similar quality in the freezer section. We then had the black pepper chicken. I was thankful for the huge portion but it was pretty salty. It definitely needed more than the bowl of rice it came with. Finally, the best dish of the night was beef chow fun. I didn’t have high expectations for this one but it tasted pretty close to the ones at home in NYC, with plenty of wok hei. I’d definitely recommend this dish and if I were a betting woman, I would guess that their other noodle dishes might be pretty good too, so maybe just stick to those.

This brightly well decorated ramen restaurant is a nice place to have an easy going meal with friends or even perfectly by yourself. The service was excellent. I came in with tones of curiosity and questions and the waitress was genuinely happy to answer my questions, checked in with me and was very approachable. Even the people behind the kitchen for the small moments I observed them and made I contact, they had a positive energy. They make other dishes other than ramen, such as some rice dishes and maki’s. I ordered the ‘Fried Chicken Rice Bowl’ which I was hesitant about because I often find the rice for these dishes too soggy. It was “okay” sogginess wise, but flavor wise quite good. I do feel like there was something missing food wise for them to get a 5 star food rating. I feel like the food doesn’t necessarily stand out or is unique, for a better wording. It’s very much the overall atmosphere that adds up to its good rating.

Amazing restaurant! We had a great server, a man with blonde hair. He did his job amazing! We will definitely be coming back. The food was very delicious.

Very delicious. Bao buns were the best I ever had. Ramen fantastic! Went for the signature ramen special nr 1

A large indoor and outdoor eating area for some Japanese specialties. The ramen was very large with a good soup.

Ramen 4/5, Salmon bowl 5/5 Great friendly service and fair prices. Great spot for good food quickly delivered to your table. Had local beers from the restaurant and it was good too. The only change I would make is offering soy sauce or sesame oil at the table.

Wonderful place. The ramen was amazing, I recommend the chefs choice. The soup was interesting and creamy, I've never tried such a ramen base before. The staff was delightful, very friendly, fast and helpful. I'm a motorcycle lover myself so the Honda with 47k kms and the foldable japanese scooter definitely caught my eye. The retro japanese vibe of the deco plus the smooth background music made it a perfect spot. This place ticked all the boxes for me.

Some very tasty Ramen and Gyoza, really hit the spot. First time having kimchi in ramen, and it worked very well. The thick and thin pork chashu were nice too.

We came to Brut Organic Restaurant with high expectations, drawn in by its concept and focus on organic cuisine. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short on nearly every front. First and foremost, the quality of the food was completely underwhelming. We were served dishes that felt random and lacking any sense of cohesion or vision from the kitchen. The meat, in particular, was extremely fatty and largely inedible - a surprising and disappointing outcome given the restaurant's reputation. As fans of organic food, we were genuinely excited to try Brut, but left feeling deeply disappointed. The bill came to €200 for two people, with a few drinks — an outrageous amount given the lackluster quality and overall experience. Value for money is simply not what you’ll find here. I would strongly advise thinking twice before booking. We will not be returning.

Fresh, creative, and delicious. A tasting menu done right. Impeccable service as well. After living here for almost a year, Brut proved to be one of the best culinary experiences in Brussels.

It’s a lovely experience — I really enjoy how they use local, organic ingredients in their dishes.

We had a great time at Brut. We chose the 4 courses with 2 non vegetarian add-ons. The vegetarian courses were beautifully presented, with a range of different textures on every course and delicate tastes though the leek entrée felt a bit undercooked, leaving it a bit chewy, but accompanied with a creamy velauté like sauce which balanced it well. The dessert was amazing, but be aware you order it on top of the menu. The fish option was smoked mackerel, and the meat option was smoked duck breast. Both were delicious, but naturally rich in fat. For clients who are not familiar with this way of preparation, a hint might come in handy. Anyway, the restaurant is basically vegetarian and not the preferred choice for meat or fish aficionados. The choice of natural wines was very good as well (we went for the three glasses pairing wines). To us, considering Brussels restaurant prices, the prices were absolutely fair. The service was impeccable, heartfelt, smiling, and with the right level of information (ask for additional information on the wines!).

Get ready for watermelon sushi and oyster ice-cream... Creativity gets to a level where we lose the point: most of the dishes are simply not good or not tasty. The same night I had nightmares with pop-corns made with ants.... In all this, the service is friendly but not professional and the bill is far too high.

Refreshing, fresh produce restaurant from their own garden or partners. Tapas-style menu which allows (if you're decent sized group) to try almost the full menu (highly recommended). Great for brunch, but do schedule in enough time :)

Just perfect!! Amazing vegan food made with local ingredients. Amazing service with friendly and welcoming hosts/servers. Amazing atmosphere "décontracté", unasuming and cozy. Again just perfect!!

When we arrived at the restaurant, we waited around 3–5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We asked for a table for five and were told there was a "big table" available. However, when we were shown to it, we were shocked to find a large container filled with what looked like (possibly dirty?) laundry placed right there. The table was located right next to the restroom area and uncomfortably close to the kitchen, making it quite smoky. We politely asked if we could move to a more suitable spot—perhaps splitting into a table for two and a table for three—but were told no tables were available. This was clearly not the case, as we saw at least two or three free tables both upstairs and downstairs. It was our first meal of the day, and we were excited to experience local hospitality in a new country. Unfortunately, this restaurant completely missed the mark. Disappointing service and poor setup—definitely not recommended.

Cozy brunch place in Bruxelles :) The perfect combination of muffin, poached egg, home made hollandaise sauce is on point! Not to mention about the simple looking Latte but super tasty. Last but not least, the service here is top notch. (Not overrated ;P )

I can see why this place has such great reviews. First time visiting Brussels. The staff were lovely and speak English. The food was delicious we had the eggs Benedict with salmon. And a matcha latte. If I got to Brussels again l will definitely come back here.

ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN BRUSSELS! Our first meal in Brussels and the staff on-site that day weren’t accommodating and were not attentive at all - they even looked at us waiting to be entertained outside in the cold and just laughed. We were a group of five and was asking for a table that would fit us all. We were put at a table near the toilet which smelled and is beside a smoky kitchen. The table also had a basket containing laundry (that might have been dirty!) which wasn’t appetizing at all and ruined our whole morning. We asked to compromise and have us separated into two tables but they didn’t budge at all (people were seated after us into tables of 3 or tables of 2). They got our order and prepared the table with water and glasses. The glasses given to us wasn’t properly cleaned at all. Now I’m thinking if they were actually partially racist as it felt racially driven. When they saw us taking pictures of the basket, they removed it to save face. The food was served and it wasn’t even that good - was totally a mistake going here for our breakfast!!! Don’t recommend it at all. I don’t want to generalize but it gave me a bit of a bad taste on how I looked at Belgian hospitality crew (hopefully this is not the case for other restaurants). Lesson learned: Don’t forget to check the low star reviews before selecting a place! Ruined the whole Brussels trip I was on.

I was excited to try this cafe as someone from Belgium who’s lived in Melbourne for 7 years. The coffee is definitely better than what you’ll find in most Belgian cafes, but is still not up to par with Australian coffee. I ordered American pancakes with rhubarb and got poached pear instead without being notified by the waitress, which was disappointing. Service isn’t quite there either. I was seated by a staff member but no one was then sent to my table, I had to wait quite a few minutes before I was asked if anyone had given me a menu even though multiple waiters passed me by. Another table nearby seemed to have the same experience. I do have to say though, staff was lovely when I did interact with them.

Throwback to a day wandering around Brussels. I stumbled upon Frank Brussels just as they were opening their doors, and just before a queue around the block formed. A warm welcome at the door by chef, the team couldn’t be more helpful. The food portions are generous and everything is locally sourced. I enjoyed the Savoury Stack of Pancakes, Pancakes, triple stack, in-house smoked thin slice of pork shoulder, thick slice of slow cooked Brasvar bacon, baked green leaves, honey & lemon syrup, topped with a fried egg. washed down with a great flat white and apple juice. Highly recommended.

Bright and airy, stylish in a nice way. The waitress was wonderful and even turned off the music (has people close to her who also have difficulty with intrusive noise) the natural sounds of the place were so much nicer 💜 I had the sourdough toast and the bread was lovely, my cappuccino was very well made and good. My daughter was very happy with her eggs and loved her cold brew tonic, she in fact had three 😆walked out with one. I am coming again, will gladly walk 15 min for my morning cuppa.

Manola offers a truly authentic Thai dining experience with dishes full of vibrant flavors and perfect seasoning. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The staff is attentive, friendly, and always ready to recommend their favorites. Every meal feels carefully prepared and beautifully presented. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Thai food or trying it for the first time, Manola is definitely a place to visit and enjoy.

We came when the restaurant was not open. But probably owners invited us and explained that we have to wait a bit when personnel will come. We decided to stay, because there were very good reviews on Tripadvisor. And we made a right choice! The food was delicious! This is the best Asian restaurant in whole Belgium ! We strongly recommend it. + you will be surprised with prices🤗 thank you very much!

I had the chicken in green curry with coconut milk and unfortunately had a horrible food poisoning. Tried to call them to inform them in case it was a bad batch but zero interest or empathy.

The food is tasty however it’s very expensive for the portions received. We went for three chicken dishes; pad Thai, red curry and green curry. Neither of them contained much vegetables. So it was quite plain and basic although tasty. Rice was unlimited which was great. Ultimately, for the prices advertised, I wouldn’t be visiting this joint again.

I tried this Thai restaurant in Brussels, and we really like the food, ambience, reception and services. I give 5* for everything. Good serve size at reasonable price.

Excellent dinner with my wife. Exceed it expectations. Great experience

Was the first time trying Thai food. Delicious! Great service

This place is fully packed everyday and for a good reason! I advise anyone to come here 30 minutes before it opens as the queue can get quite long. Very friendly staff and absolutely delicious ramen and gyoza! We are definitely coming back

This is one of the most tasteful dishes I ever had. Everything was so flavorful and it felt extremely authentic. The only thing that I would change was the portion size of the meat. I wish they put some more pieces. Other than that, great food and friendly and sweet service. I had to wait for long in the queue as I arrived at a pick hour. I recommend going there early so you avoid the waiting line. Honestly though it was worth all the waiting. I could say that it was the highlight of my Brussels trip and would visit again this city to just have this experience again.

This was the best meal I had in my week-long trip to Belgium and the Netherlands. I ordered the spicy miso soup. The broth was so rich and delicious! I can't think of a place where I had a better broth. The noodles were also cooked just right. Basically it was a flawless meal. My wife ordered the black garlic ramen, which she enjoyed but we both felt the spicy miso was better. Koku Ramen is excellent. It is a bit pricey, but given the quality, I really can't complain. Definitely recommend!

🌟 KOKU RAMEN THE BEST 🌟 I’m Japanese 🇯🇵 and used to eat ramen at least once a week back home. Since moving to Belgium , I’ve found it hard to find ramen that truly hits the spot — until I visited KOKU RAMEN. Every bite was an explosion of flavor — I couldn’t stop! Even though the portion was more than I’d usually eat, it was so delicious I finished every last drop. This ramen literally made my day💖 And the service? Absolutely outstanding! 👏Thoughtful, attentive, and truly what you’d expect from authentic Japanese hospitality. Absolutely worth every cent of the €25 price!

My favorite food spot on my first trip to Brussels. We had the Gyoza, Karaage and Shio Ramen and it was the best Ramen me and my family has had not only on our visit but also back in the states in the New England area. It is definitely a required stop for us when we visit Belgium again. The service was awesome and everyone there is very considerate. It is worth the wait.

The best authentic ramen I’ve had in Brussels with super friendly Japanese hospitality. Come early before opening hours, or be prepared to wait! The hype is real

Tried Koku ramen and it was amazing! The ramen broth was rich and flavorful, and the gyoza were some of the best I’ve had in Brussels— crispy outside and juicy inside. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even more special. Cozy vibe, great service, and fantastic food— Really worth the wait.

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.

Great little cafe by the canal. Shame it sits by a busy road junction but many idiots drive here, so it's quite fun for idiot-driver-watching. Good beer and coffee. Food looks great too but I haven't tried it (yet!).

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. There are a lot of things to improve in this place.

I organized a private party here, and have nothing but good to say about this place. The food was delicious (buns with pulled pork or mushroom), and they provided alternatives for guests with allergies. Staff was excellent: very friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Thank you!

We privatised the venue for a high school reunion for just over 30 of us. The organisation process was super smooth (big shout out to Julie for the organised yet pragmatic booking experience). Staff were friendly and efficient, the food delicious and the drinks reasonably priced for central Brussels. I would highly recommend!

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.

A group of 40 of us (although there was space for more) hired out all three floors of the venue for the whole day. Mona and the team at Le Phare couldn't have been better or more helpful - especially working to ensure we were within budget. We also loved their sustainable ethos, which really fitted in well with what we were trying to achieve. The day of workshops and presentations was a huge success, concluding with drinks of the terrace. Highly recommended!

Last week I had the pleasure of working with Entropy Restaurant for an event at our Distillery. The entire team was incredibly professional and dedicated, making the experience seamless from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and their attention to detail truly sets them apart. Their setup in our Chapel was topnotch. They came in and transformed the place to an even higher level of exquisite that i ever thought was possible. As for the food, (Completely Vegetarian )—simply outstanding. Every dish was a masterpiece, showcasing both creativity and exceptional quality. They incorporated Dada Chapel perfectly in the food and made one off the best collaborations possible. It was an honour to work with this staff at our place. Can't imagine how good it must be at the restaurant itself. I'm going to visit the restaurant itself soon.

My wife and I had a great evening tasting menu experience here. The vegetarian food was perfectly prepared and presented and the accompanying wine flight (of unusual wines) paired perfectly. It was a great way to finish our 2 week European city break off.

We had the pleasure of dining at Entropy last Wednesday and it was outstanding from start to finish. We’ve enjoyed fine dining across Europe, but this was our first fully vegetarian/vegan experience… it certainly won’t be our last! Every dish showed precision & care: high-quality ingredients and a clever balance of flavours & textures. Personal favourites were the courses heroing squash, onion, as well as the creative take on a cheese dish. A special highlight was the non-alcoholic drinks pairing: inventive, thoughtful and one of the best we’ve had. Warm, knowledgeable service rounded out a fantastic evening. Whether you’re vegetarian or simply curious, Entropy is a must-visit!

Guys, tonight you hit me with an intergalactic slap. I was deeply moved by your work by the precision, the honesty, and the soul you put into every dish. For the first time in a long while, I managed to take off my chef’s hat, to let go, and to allow myself to be told a story. I came with a blank page… and you filled it with sincerity, mastery, and emotion. Massive respect to you, Eliott, to Adeline, and to the whole Entropy team. Thank you for this timeless moment. ❤️‍🔥

Thank you to the team at Entropy for the most amazing meal last night. I have coeliac disease so it is very difficult to eat out with strict measures required to ensure there are no traces of gluten in my food. The chef reassured me that he was taking care of the allergy and they ensured I had a gluten free and dairy free food. The service was also excellent, with the staff being super friendly and knowledgable about the restaurant, food and drinks. Highly recommended, especially for coeliacs - I didn’t have any reaction to the food. Thank you !

Had an amazing meal here, the atmosphere was relaxed and not at all pretentious, Adeline and her front of the house team were wonderful. The food was amazing, made even better knowing that underneath lay a social and sustainable cause. Will absolutely return.

We visited the restaurant to celebrate a seventieth birthday. From the moment we entered, we fell in love with the place. The atmosphere and design combined charm and beauty with a sense of ease. It was clear that every little detail had been thoughtfully considered, with functional and beautiful uses of recycled items (painted tennis balls in shades of orange and red to reduce noise in the restaurant, glasses made from wine bottles, and walls adorned with a magnificent display of papers and newspapers), along with shelves full of beautiful and fascinating books. The food, called “The Journey,” truly felt like one. From the very first bite to the last, two and a half hours passed in the blink of an eye. We chose non-alcoholic drinks to accompany the meal, and they were no less of an artwork than the dishes themselves. We also had a 10-year-old child with us, who thoroughly enjoyed the rich and flavorful culinary experience. A heartfelt thank you to the restaurant, the chef, the kitchen staff, and our servers, who made the experience unforgettable. For this experience alone, it is worth coming to Brussels! Thank you.

My personal favorite spot for ramen in Brussels the ramen is amazing, no doubt about it! The only downside is that the place often feels understaffed, which creates a bit of a stressful atmosphere. But the food definitely makes up for it.

My girlfriend and I visited Mendo in 2024, a noodle restaurant in Brussels, while battling a mild flu. We were pleasantly surprised by the restorative powers of their incredibly flavorful broth. It wasn't just a simple broth; the depth of flavor suggested a careful selection of high-quality ingredients and slow simmering, extracting the essence of each component. This, combined with the fresh, hand-made noodles, created a truly comforting and revitalizing meal. While the portion of noodles was perhaps a tad smaller than expected, the exceptional quality and taste more than compensated for this. The noodles themselves had a delightful texture, indicative of their handmade nature. Beyond the food, the atmosphere of Mendo contributed to our positive experience. The restaurant provided a pleasant and relaxing environment, allowing us to fully enjoy our meal and each other's company. The service was also efficient, with our food arriving in a timely manner, further enhancing our dining experience. From the moment we entered until we left, feeling rejuvenated and no longer hampered by our flu symptoms, Mendo provided a welcome respite. The combination of delicious, carefully prepared food and a comfortable atmosphere made it the perfect remedy for our ailments. We left feeling completely refreshed and satisfied, a testament to the quality and care put into every aspect of the Mendo experience. It's a place we'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly exceptional bowl of noodles in Brussels, and we'll certainly be returning ourselves. The experience was so positive, it turned a day that started with feeling unwell into a memorable and enjoyable outing. Mendo truly lived up to its reputation and exceeded our expectations, making it a standout dining experience in Brussels.

Tried the Umezu Mazemen at Mendo—brothless ramen bursting with tangy umezu flavour. Perfectly chewy noodles topped with tender chashu and a soft, rich half-tamago. The space charms too—walls dressed in 80s Japanese posters and magazines, and bathroom ceilings clad in vintage metal shop signs. A full feast for both taste and eyes.

Delicious ramen, noodles are fresh and cooked to perfection. I has the specialty ramen and the pork in there was bursting with flavor and had the perfect ratio of meat and fattiness. Service was also top-notch.

Start of autumn and craving some ramen, we decided upon Mendo and were very delighted with our choice. We ordered gyoza, the kurogoma ramen, the shio paitan ramen and to end with some mango mochi. The gyoza were crispy and light, a perfect starter. The ramen - very delicious and satisfied our craving! The kurogoma ramen has a pleasant nutty taste and the shio paitan ramen is creamy and very tasty. The mango mochi was my favourite! The place is understaffed but the waitress did an amazing job and the service was surprisingly fast! The only small downside is that the place is small and packed, so you kind of eavesdrop on people sitting next to you (which maybe a delight if you are nosy like me), and of course get eavesdropped on. Totally recommended for the food and we would definitely return. :)

super cute and cozy place and truly amazing ramen. wow! will definitely be back!

Incredible food. Super efficient & a super sweet lady running the place. Perfect ambience n vibe. Must visit for the perfect Raman + a very refreshing Japanese lemonade + great desserts

It was an underwhelming experience altogether. So it's a restaurant inside a grocery store or the other way around. All the bowls had their rims chipped, it's a weird detail but it bothered me. As for the food, things really don't get better. I ordered a spicy miso ramen with pork set. It came with only one slice of pork. It's kinda wild that you can serve that. Shoyu ramen wasn't that good either. Takumi is still a better alternative.

LOVED the experience! It's super quaint, the food is great and the people are super nice. The waiting time is non-existent. You get your food so fast. There's a grocery store in the restaurant filled with anime merch, and the people there speak Japanese! So, if you're a geek and like anime, this is definitely a place to visit! ❤️☺️

It was quite cool that you sat right in front of the kitchen where you could see the chef prepared the food. It was a Japanese woman who took order and a Japanese man who cooked. The food for me is quite ok, not to the delicious extend. I prefered the Ramen at Takumi chain. The chicken was too soft for me. And it's quite pricy in my opinion.

A Slice of Authentic Japan in Stockel: NOBU Nestled within the bustling metro station of Stockel lies a culinary gem that transports you straight to the streets of Tokyo: NOBU, an authentic Japanese ramen eatery. This delightful spot, tucked away in a cozy corner of the small indoor mall, is a haven for ramen enthusiasts and lovers of Japanese culture alike. From the moment you step into NOBU, the warm and inviting atmosphere envelops you. The staff, all Japanese, are not just incredibly nice but also exude a passion for their craft that adds to the authenticity of the experience. Their attentive service and genuine smiles make every visitor feel like a valued guest in their little slice of Japan. The star of the show is, without a doubt, the ramen. Each bowl is a masterpiece, brimming with flavors that are both complex and comforting. The broth is rich and savory, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the toppings are fresh and flavorful. It’s evident that NOBU takes pride in serving ramen that is not just food, but an experience for the senses. Adding to the charm is the relaxed ambiance, underscored by the soft strains of classical music playing in the background. This thoughtful touch enhances the "urban Japanese" vibe, making it easy to forget you’re in Stockel and not in a cozy Tokyo neighborhood. NOBU also houses a small Japanese convenience store, a delightful surprise that rounds out the experience. Here, you can find a variety of Japanese snacks, drinks, and other goods that are perfect for taking a piece of this culture home with you. In conclusion, NOBU is more than just a ramen place; it's a cultural experience. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in authentic Japanese cuisine and atmosphere right in the heart of Stockel. Whether you’re a ramen aficionado or a curious newcomer, NOBU promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you

One of the best ramen I've ever had, a must try for everyone.

Amazing original ramen! You don’t have lots of options and you can tell it’s an authentic Japanese restaurant. The staff is also Japanese. The food is simple DELICIOUS! If you want to try an authentic ramen restaurant, please try this one!

I'm happy to have an authentic ramen place in the town. Missed it so much after Yamato was 'closed'.

A beautiful place. They brew all their own beer which is all sold onsite. The Pilsner is excellent, although it was no bother to taste before deciding. We had Dikke Broodjes ("thick sandwich") for lunch, one vegan, one meat - both tasty, fresh ingredients and flavoursome. Great staff, lovely atmosphere and I highly recommend.

Shocking behaviour of service staff! I wanted to give this restaurant a try due to some good reviews on their dikkebroodjes. The restaurant opens at 10am on a Saturday. I walked in at 11:05am to an empty restaurant. A tall bespectacled male staff saw me enter, but immediately turned his back on me. This being my first time here, I didn't know where to place my order. I sat down for a full five minutes, yet no one approached me or took my order. It was when other customers started coming in and one placed his order at the counter. I had to walk to the counter to place my order. A blondish female staff smiled at me and took my order. She is the only nice one there. Then, a tall lady walked in (I presume this could be a former staff). Staff started coming out of the kitchen to greet her, chatted with her and even sat with her. What happened to my order? Then a lady with a dog walked in. Two kitchen staff came out to pet the dog with both hands! Their hands went all over the dog's body. Truly, I wanted to vomit when I saw it. I immediately stood up to get a better view of whether they would wash their hands after petting the dog. My order still hadn't arrived. One of them then took out a seat next to the aforementioned tall lady, and placed her hands on the counter top, and chatted away with the tall lady. Hands not washed for at least a few minutes (and I don't know if they were washed in the end). I pity the next person who is going to sit there. The other kitchen staff who patted the dog is male, with a bandage on one of his hands. I don't know how willing he would be to wash his hands and wet the bandage. I had seen enough. I cancelled my order of the dikkebroodjes. I paid for my coffee and left. This restaurant gave me a very bad impression of service standards and especially hygiene in a Belgian restaurant. Beware! No matter how nice the dikkebroodjes might be, no point getting diarrhea for it.

New place for beer and food to share in Marolles neighbourhood. Definitely, worth stopping by for a drink after your shopping/sightseeing tour in the adjacent flea market. Service is pleasant, food is good (bread and dips based). So, it’s good for sharing. Terrace is large- not so common in Brussels. Interior combines some modern elements with traditional bars in the area. I like this concept.

After checking out the flea market, we were ready for a drink, so we tried this brewpub. Don't be fooled by the lineup near the door, it's for the ATM next door! Very lovely terrace in the back. Friendly service. 4 house beers were available. We tried the rhubarb Berliner Weiss, a sour ale and a Kveik, all 3 were good. Didn't try any food, but the menu was interesting, with homemade bread. Prices were fair.

5/10- Beers okay, food okay. Definitely not a gastropub, menu is basically just bread. Slow service for bread.

Nice place with a super nice vibe in an interesting and cool neighborhood with a long history. They make their own beer which is VERY good!

Great place for drink a beer or a coffee and have a bite. The place is really nice and waiters are super friendly. I've seen some pets so I assume it is per friendly

“Pretty good” sums it up. Bit expensive for what it is. Food quality is good, but not outstanding. Refinement missing—a few pomegranate seeds in the salad, nuts on the pancake, or other delicious garnish could have upgraded the food a lot. The 25€/person brunch does NOT come with any kind of beverage? Serious missed opportunity to create a great value item with repeat customer potential. The place has potential!

I went there for Brunch on Sunday. The only problem was two months ago they stopped it, despite showing pictures and menus of it in maps and their webpage. To add to the problem at 11.30 their stop selling breakfast and don’t start lunch till 12 noon. When I asked why they showed it on maps the waitress said the kids follow us on Instagram….which is fine once you’ve been there but impossible if it’s your first time. Please update both especially as the menu is so limited.

Went for lunch and the food was really tasteful. Although there wasn’t much choice, one could choose between meat, fish and vegetarian depending on one’s preferences. With a 20€ menu, you get good food in a nice and simple atmosphere. Definitely recommend for a lunch break!

Recently the food became really bad, and very expensive. It drastically went down! Service is super slow, if you sit outside on the terrace and staff not trained well. They charge 16 EUR for bacon salad which is worth 5 EUR max! Seems like the owners just want the profit but do not care about the service and food quality. Do NOT recommend!

A great bar-restaurant. Nice selection of beers, some great wines, and really incredible but very simple food. A large terrace makes it a popular spot on a nice day, although watch out for the attention of the local vagrants (such is Brussels). Service here is always very friendly.

Pretty good. Juices and coffee were both tasty and the terrace is lovely, but the service was a bit slow/obstructive and the scrambled eggs were loose/watery. Prices are reasonable and there is quite a good choice of beers. A nice spot for a sunny afternoon but not necessarily somewhere to make a detour for.

Brunch: Plateau poisson: nice smoked haddock in a bun, with hollandaise, pickled onion and fromage blanc. Plateau viande: nice caesar salad, the chicken is lukewarm, not icecold chicken breast like I encountered too many times. Vinaigrette was plenty, but flavorful with mustard. Dessert wasn't too great. Could use either more sugar or salt. Very nice bar and selection of beers, however no one came to take our order after 20 minutes... EDIT: changed my review to 5 stars. Waiting staff did a great job and the food was delicious as well.

We were positively surprised by the amount of choices and the menu. The ramen were tasty, delicious and fresh. Great variety of original Japanese beers. The staff was super nice and helpful as well ⭐️ I would definitely be back!

Nice service, tasty takoyaki and flavourful ramen. I had the yuzu shio gyokai tonkotsu ramen. It was great but I forgot to ask for condiments like chili oil or pepper (I noticed they had them on the counter while paying, afterwards) It would be better to place them on the table. I also had a taste of my friend's spicy veggie ramen and I was suprised by the deep and full flavour of the broth. A lot of umami which u often don't get with veggie broth.

Veggie Ramen was very bad, the bamboo was still chilled, broth was not tasty but just oily. Noodle doesn’t taste right either. Very disappointing in ramen, I couldn’t finish even half of it. But my husband ordered curry and said was pretty good. Service is good.

Really bad ramen. Boiled chicken brest in an unflavored chicken broth. Zero depth of flavor. I'd rather have instant ramen, than pay €18 for unflavored chicken broth. Added a bit of soy sauce to see if it would help the flavors along, but no. The only thing they have going for them is the fresh made looking ramen noodles I noticed. If you've ever actually stepped foot inside of Japan, there are bowl of ramen worth $7 that have more flavor.

Amazing food and super friendly staff🧡Tried the karaage chicken with curry and rice and was totally delicious. Will definitely visit again in the near future!

Best ramen I've ever tried. Very tasty appetizers. Fast preparation and polite people.

Food was amazing. Traditional Japanese. Friendly staff

Lovely restaurant with a refreshing ambience, friendly waiters and comfortable seating. The food is healthy with many vegan and gluten free options, many vegs, nothing fried or oily. Not a lot of choices given the price, hence over-priced for a brunch in my opinion. The price is €32pp for dishes as pic, also include bread choices, vegan yogurt, and any non-alcoholic beverage. The hot chocolate was average. Enjoyed the feeling of a unique lunch experience, but not my cuppa tea regarding the food, as more suitable for any person with vegan/healthy eating preferences.

Concept restaurant "the daughters" - supposed to, and feels like home. There's a kitchen on every floor with a stove where meals are cooked you walk up to the stove and serve yourself. Plates and cutlery supercilious vintage. Waitresses kind, serving and making you feel like at home.

Excellent food, great service and really recommended! They can also place big groups but you have to reserve in advance.

A very nice restaurant with a very simple menu and great service. Three of us had a very enjoyable dinner. They cater for vegetarians too. The dessert was very good and the location is very handy too. Definitely recommended.

Really qualitative food. Everything was well cooked and the associations were out of this world. I warmly recommend this place to any food lover.

Very friendly atmosphere and the food is delicious. One of those places you want to visit again and again.

Overall, the place is great. The service is lovely; the food is good and healthy; and the atmosphere is chill and cosy. Yet, I give three stars due to the price-benefit ratio: price per person is way to high. It is not worthy. The multiple course, buffet-like concept is only worthy under two conditions: being really hungry and having a veggie-like mindset. For example, one course which includes only soup is 19 Euros/21 US Dollars during luncg, no drinks included. On the other hand, that might be the cost of eating bio and gluten-free.

Food is terrible. Drinks are super basic. Staff are not flexible at all and rude. If they make mistake with food, or salad has bugs or rotten leaves, or food has hair, they don’t even apologize. They just snatch the plates as if it is customer mistake. I have been to this place for lunch, at least 50 times because there are limited options near tenbosch park. Today is the last. Never again.

Utterly horrendous "food". They served my starving girlfriend one singular undercooked, unseasoned egg (actually less than one egg, it was mostly yolk and about half of the egg white boiled into a staggeringly uneatable witches' brew snot-thing), with a side of "parmesian crumble" of equal quality to the egg itself (basically cheese rind, also extravagantly unseasoned). It came with bread - a stale, weeks old imitation of real bread that would have been more useful to mix with cement and build the foundations of a house with. Atmosphere was nice though, and my cappuccino was not half bad (although making "bad" cappuccino would be a Herculean feat that, judging by the food, they'd be perfectly capable of achieving).

I was disappointed from the food at this place . It offers limited food items during lunch . The dupont beer is super light . They do not offer belgium french fries in brussels which is a shame. The lasagne was very saucy , the croque monsieur samdwich was okay , the salmon omlette platter was fade in terms of taste . The vegan steak was average served with a sweet tahini weird sauce thats not even called hummus . The decoration is urban , its nice for children .

Agree with the comments about some of the staff being rude. I would have left if I wasn’t with my hungry children. The sandwich was nice but the mushroom soup was not tasty at all. There’s a small area for children to play which is nice but it is difficult to access this place with a pushchair.

Staff is 100% unfriendly and not flexible at all. Restaurant was COMPLETELY empty at 11 am on a Saturday, and I asked if I could spend 20 minutes (!) there having a coffee (standing, if needed, in case all 10+ reserved tables would show up at once) with my daugther DURING A STORM as we had no umbrealla. I was told "this is not a bar" and asked to leave, as the restaurant was fully booked (yet empty). Will do my best to never go back, although - good for them - there's no real choice in the area...

One set menu for lunch (2 starters, 1 main, 1 dessert). Choose between 1 and 4 courses ranging from 14€ to 22€. Food is "healthy", tastes ok. When we got there they had run out of Crème Brulée so we got a not so great chocolate mousse, so ask before you sit down. No tap water available, need to pay 4€ for 0.5l! Waitress was helplessly busy, took 20min to bring the bill. Not sure I would go again for that price.

Nice place to be where I’ve always been and enjoyed. Today 26/09/2020 by 13h10 as my child was “crying to much” I was told by the waitress that I was disturbing and I should stop it..... well, it was my last time here.

What a great find! I'm vegan and not only did I get a choice of options but a choice of vegan cheese for my Arepas 😁. Delicious, home cooked food served hot and fresh with care and love. Will return if we visit Brussels again

We have been to this place many times and it never fails to deliver. This little Venezuelan restaurant serves delicious homemade food. You can try Venezuela's most famous dishes: arepas (savoury corn meal dough with savoury ingredients), empanadas (fried filled corn pastry), cachapa (sweet corn crepe with white cheese), tequeños (cheese fingers covered by pastry and deep fried), guasacaca sauce, soups, fresh sugar cane juice and so on. Even though this place serves traditional Venezuelan food, they also offer several vegan options and are eager to adapt any of their dishes and make it vegan without any fuss. The quality-price ratio is superb. If you would like a fresh Venezuelan meal in the centre of Brussels you should definitely try Arepa's Factory.

I have been in Latin American a lot, and part of my family also is from Venezuela. I really enjoyed the food today and it was very tasty. Definitely to come back to!

Suffiiently large and very tasty portions. Excellent for 100% gluten free and lactose free meals. Fully reccomend!

Great selection of different venezuelan specialties. Great place for people who cannot eat gluten but want to have a tasty meal. Strongly recommended. Would love if they extend the opening hours and include Saturdays.

We love this place for great food, quick and super friendly service. It has limited space but so far we always managed to find a spot. One of our lunch favorites!

Nice arepas, cosy place, friendly service, decent prices.

The concept is nice with the dumplings. But they do lack some flavor in overall I thought the food was bland. The interior is nice though.

It was my very first time trying húntun (wontons), and I couldn’t have picked a better place! I ordered the fried ones, and the chef was kind enough to make me one of each so I could taste different fillings — such a sweet gesture 💛 Everything was absolutely delicious, and the duck soup was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. A lovely experience from start to finish!

Located in a lovely street, it's a family business and you can feel it through the food made with passion and the friendly service. You can (literally) see that the wantans are homemade, and they are delicious. Next time I'm in Brussels I'll definitely come back!

Nice wanton bar. Try have fried and steamed options. I wished they would offer a bigger wanton plate with the flavours one chooses. The existing boards have 3 of each, chicken (lacked a bit of distinction to the flavour), shrimp (pretty good), pork (quite nice) and vegetable (I did not enjoy this one). Wanton soup was not heavy, mostly vegetable based it seemed, the noodles themselves were nothing special. The lotus fries were quite good, but sauce should come separate and not on top. We got a reservation with The Fork and had 20% off (not on drinks, and they are pricy).

Great place for lunch. We had soups with chicken and pork dumplings. We could observe how dumplings are hand made at a nearby table.

Walked in by myself and they could not have been more welcoming, offering me any open table of my choice. They did not have a straight ginger soda, but offered me alternatives including jury rigging something with fresh ginger. Super nice. The food itself reminded me of the noodles I would have from Hong Kong. Really pleasant broth and noodles, and very plump and delicious shrimp dumplings. In and out very quickly. If I lived here, I would definitely visit again!

Staff are friendly and welcoming! Selection of chicken, pork, shrimp or veggie dumplings (you can choose to have them steamed or fried). Nice amount of filling and well seasoned. Shrimp and chicken were my favourite. Service was very quick! If you are more than 2 people it’s best to reserve a table in advance as this place was busy by 20h! Great place if you want a quick and healthy work lunch!

Really good sandwiches and interesting fresh drinks menu. Busy spot during brunch/lunch times. Little pricey but sandwiches are big enough to share if you just want a snack. I've gotten the pastrami sambo twice now, it's excellent!

Quite expensive and not up to the standard. Took 20min to get our food and 25 to get coffee even thought it wasn’t so busy. English muffin was pretty good. The pastry was soft and dry.

The best grilled cheese toast I’ve ever had! I cannot describe its deliciousness with words, you must try this place if you are in Bruxelles and see by yourselves. Also, the place is very cosy and relaxing. Besides that, the staff is so nice and friendly, I’ve had some issues with my card payment and they were really helpful. 100% satisfied, I’ll definitely go again to taste other stuff

Great Place to grab a sandwich, especially when you are in a rush.they have also as more nice terrace with some chairs for the sunny days.

The food is OK, not awesome like expected: the grilled cheese is really delusional, not so much cheese and not great taste. The coffee is not good, while the matcha latte was amazing! The problem is that to have 2 grilled sandwitches we waited for 45mins, I undestand that there are just 2 waiters doing everything but anyhow the waiting time was too long. And paying more than 40 euros for 2 sandwitches, 1 coffee and 1 matcha waiting all that time is not worthy. Sadly I do not recommend it.

Passed by here on my way home from a yoga class and stopped to grab a Chai Latte and soup which I enjoyed. I really like the decor of the place - a lot of options on the menu sounded and looked pretty delicious. My neighbour took the ginger infusion which looked super good, will come back to try! The producers of most foods used is specified which I thought was quite nice. Service was very helpful and nice (despite working on a public holiday).

I would not recommend this place. It takes 20 minutes to deliver the coffee and then 1 hour for the food. The toast was way to crunchy, almost impossible to cut through it. Many people were waiting soo long for their orders. Besides prices are very high for the food you get, and a lot of products weren’t even available. 15 euros for just simple egg toast with bacon…crazy.

I was strolling through the neighborhood looking for a place to get a coffee, and I found this one, and I love it :) A typical local French Belgian cafe with low prices and the typical regular crowd enjoying a drink before at 11am. The service is great and very personal. There is a cute little terrace to sit on as well.

Wonderful service, great food, lovely neighborhood atmosphere. I will definitely come again!

Nice and friendly local tavern with a limited but decent menu. Large terrace in front to enjoy a drink with friends or family.

Friendly atmosphere and great service! Triple Karmeliet on draft and delicious Belgian bistro food options.

Warm and nice,place to feel local 😊

It's the bar of my neighbourhood, cheap and warm as it should be! Going there in summer after a bike ride to get a cold beer is a great pleasure.

55 mins for the fries

The place is authentic Italian, everything is really delicious but the prices are a bit crazy, a peace of bread with olive oil oil and mozzarella cheese is 10 euro. I understand is capital but, it’s exaggerated. :(

Bought a rather pricey ricotta salata, only to discover it had been expired for over a month before I purchased it. The owner quickly apologized, blaming their supplier, but did not even have the decency to offer any compensation.

Really good, italian guy is also friendly.

This is really my favorite place in Brussels! Since the opening I found not only the best Italian products but most of all the warm welcome of people who I can now call friends! I still and will always go there even if I recently moved to another neighborhood. I absolutely recommend Capito Come for your purchases but also to have a glass of excellent wine while pleasantly chatting with Cesare and all the other friendly habitués of the shop.

I've been living abroad for almost ten years now and I can say that this is truly one of the best Italian shops I have ever been to. Everything here is of the finest quality - you can tell that each product is careful chosen (but you can also find more commercial brands as well). The highlight of the shop are definitely the sandwiches: simply *the best*. I have already tried different flavors, but today's was fabulous (friarielli, smoked mozzarella and tomato). Highly recommend!

Finally a REAL ITALIAN SHOP in heart of Brussels!!!! As i'm living in the city center i found always difficult to find authentic Italian products next to where i live, but CAPITO COME make my life much more easier. GOOD PRODUCT FOR GOOD PRICE!

Charming small Italian grocery, with a fine collection of beautiful products. Tasted and approved 😋 And the owners are really nice and gave me valuable advices. Place to go!
