A very underwhelming / borderline disappointing experience.
We decided to give the restaurant as it looked so promising and it always looked busy when passing by (which is usually a good sign). Unfortunately we were let down on multiple fronts which I will detail below:
Food 3/5
We ordered the following:
- snails (6 pieces for 15 Euros, good, no complaints)
- frog legs (excellent)
- cheese croquettes (okay-ish, nothing great but quite overpriced at 16 euros for 2 pieces)
- shrimp croquette (1 piece cost 11 euros and it was very fishy, as if it was made with frozen, low grade shrimps, wouldn't recommend it)
- mussels in snail butter (very average, lacked salt and flavour overall)
- the fries accompanying the mussels were hard, as if double or triple cooked, which can quickly turn hard when cooling down
- rabbit in white sauce (at 28.50 Euros, the only rabbit dish on the menu and it was very bland, the white sauce tasted like double cream with almost no seasoning or salt)
- veal tongue stew (24.50 Euros, excellent, probably our favourite dish)
I attached photos with all the food and the receipt totalling €153.10 for your reference (for 2 people and no alcoholic drinks)
Service 5/5
Pedro was very friendly and attentive with great customer service skills
Ambiance 1/5
That night it was particularly hot in Brussels. The problem is that they don't have AC. We asked if they could turn it on and we were told that they don't actually have AC so, in all honesty, we were literally sweating the whole time. My clothes got stuck to the skin and the couch, drenched even before the food started arriving. Shortly after we started eating, all we wanted was to just get out of this sauna and get some fresh air outside. It's mind boggling how an expensive restaurant cannot bother with basic comfort for their clients. Unacceptable by any standards.
Based on our experience here, I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice time or delicious food in Brussels.

A must see for any car enthusiast!!
You get an impressive range of classic and modern cars, with some very rare specimens, and many cute, quirky cars which are actually adorable.
The place is very spacious and clean and when we went it was also quiet and chill.
Definitely a must see.
