Called ahead to find the place since it&#39;s a bit tucked away. Owner picked up right away, super friendly. The private tasting was the highlight&mdash;felt personal, not rushed. Food came out at a good pace, which I appreciated. Solid spot if you want something a bit different without the fuss. Just ring them first, saves you the hassle of wandering around.

Stopped by for the first time after hearing so much about it. The eel and frog legs appetizers were the highlight for me&mdash;really tasty. Mussels were solid too. Place was busy, so booking ahead is smart. Maybe slightly touristy but I get the appeal.

Dropped in for a quick lunch. The three-course menu is decent for the price. Had the duck breast, cooked nicely. Sea bass was fine too. Bourbon vanilla mousse for dessert, pretty good. Service was quick, which I appreciate. Place has a nice vibe, not too fancy. Solid spot if you need a decent meal without wasting time.

The onion soup was decent, rich flavor. Scampi with garlic came out quick, cooked just right. Mussels were fresh too. Solid spot for a fast lunch, nothing fancy. Got in and out in under 30 minutes, which is exactly what I needed. Prices fair for the quality. Would stop by again if I&#39;m in the area.

Real Italian food. Small menu offering real flavours from Italy. When it&#39;s sunny it is a very nice option for a lunch outside

The Meli Mely is an excellent, family run restaurant. It has a good menu and each meal is tasty and terrific value for money!

The crepes were solid and cheap. Got one with ham and cheese, hit the spot. Place is fine for a quick bite but nothing fancy.

The Art Nouveau room in Schaerbeek is something else, really. Had the octopus carpaccio and the truffle souffl&eacute;&mdash;both were solid. Staff were friendly enough.

Solid Greek spot outside the center. The grilled octopus was fresh and done right. Gets a bit loud when packed, but that&#39;s part of the vibe.

Came here with a big group of 16 and honestly, everyone got their food at the same time. That never happens. The young couple running it are super friendly too.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Pizza had a solid char from the wood-fired oven, crust was chewy enough. No complaints there. Place itself is casual, nothing fancy. Service was efficient, got my order without much waiting. Fine if you&#39;re in the area and need something decent without the fuss.

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon&mdash;place had that warm, easy vibe with soft music playing. Beer list is seriously long, which I appreciate. Went with a local pale ale, paired nicely with the hearty stew. Staff kept things moving without hovering. Only hiccup: my glass sat empty a bit too long before a refill came. Still, solid spot for a lazy afternoon drink.

The outdoor seating is really charming, quiet enough to actually enjoy the meal. Fried fish starter was great, sea bass cooked well too. Nice little neighborhood spot.

Steak was actually better than I expected for the price. Place looks a bit tired, but the mint tea on the house was a nice touch. Service friendly enough.

Everything&rsquo;s made in-house and you can taste it. Pasta and desserts were the standouts. Service was efficient, no complaints.

All-you-can-eat sides and dessert buffet with a main is a solid deal. Mains were hit or miss though.

Been coming here for years and it never misses. Mixed grill was solid, pasta cooked right. Had a nice glass of red with the steak &mdash; good pour, didn&#39;t break the bank. Staff remembered me from last time, which says a lot. Place gets busy, so don&#39;t expect a quiet dinner, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

Came here on a sunny afternoon and grabbed a spot outside on Dageraadplaats. Ordered the stoofvlees and a couple of tapas&mdash;portions were honestly bigger than I expected for the price. Paid around &euro;30 for two and left full. Staff knew the menu well and pointed me toward the better deal. Only downside: it took a while to get the bill.

We came for a late lunch, not too crowded. I ordered the pasta with seafood, portion was decent for the price. Dessert was a nice extra, though I wish the tiramisu had more coffee taste. Service was friendly, no complaints there. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The hummus falafel was the star&mdash;creamy, tangy, just right. Carrot juice was a nice touch. Service lagged, but who cares.

The print-themed decor is what caught my eye&mdash;old pages and typography all over the walls. Cappuccino was solid, staff friendly enough. Seats are a bit stiff though, couldn&#39;t really linger as long as I wanted. Nice spot for a quick coffee if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by for a quick bite near the center. Mixed grill was a solid plate, plenty of meat for the price. Nothing fancy but it hit the spot. Place was busy around lunch, took a bit to get the food but whatever. Fine if you&#39;re in the area and hungry.

The scones here were genuinely good&mdash;warm, with proper jam and cream. Garden seating&rsquo;s a nice escape from the shopping crowds. Just wish they had a better wine list to go with the afternoon tea vibe.

Came here for a steak dinner and honestly the rump steak was spot on. Bone marrow and snails as starters were good too. But the fries were kinda dry and the salad didn&rsquo;t have enough dressing. For the price we paid, I expected a bit more care with the sides. Still, the main dish saved it.

Stopped by for a late lunch and ended up staying longer than planned. The guy running it clearly knows his stuff&mdash;helped me pick a nice glass of wine to go with the charcuterie board. Cozy spot, not rushed at all. Just wish the bread was a bit fresher, but the drink selection more than made up for it.

Stopped by for a late breakfast and grabbed a cappuccino. It came with a tiny cookie on the side, which I honestly loved. Coffee was solid, nothing crazy, but the vibe was chill enough to hang out for a bit. Wish the pastries were a little fresher though.
