What a fascinating and remarkable place this is. Was really amazed to see the detailed work carved on all these buildings in this famous square. The buildings are about 400 years old but they will still give you the most amazing aesthetic view. You could go any time and stay around to get the beautiful vibes from this place. Loved it and is must visit place.

The Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium, is highly regarded for its stunning architecture and historical significance. This UNESCO World Heritage site is the central square of the city and is known for its intricate Gothic and Baroque buildings. Visitors are often captivated by the intricate detail of the buildings, particularly during the biennial flower carpet event. The square hosts various events and festivals, making it a vibrant hub of activity. Surrounding the Grand Place, you'll find charming cafes, restaurants, and shops, making it a perfect spot to explore and immerse yourself in the city's culture.

Stunning sensation when stepping into this beautiful space full of wonderful buildings each decorated with its own special details. I approached it from every side street, amazing every time. A day visit was as interesting as the night visit, both highly recommended. Soak in the grandeur of the history...

Fantastic place to pause and enjoy the architecture after walking around town. My favorite activity here is to just grab a drink and people watch! Make sure you visit once during the day and again at night because the buildings are gorgeous when they are lit up.

It is the symbol of Brussels and a must visit location. Every building in this place worths a photograph. There are nice cafes and restaurants around. And if you come here during the day, you must wait for the evening lights to show up and see the buildings again with a night view. Be careful for the robbers around and watch your belongings always.

Amazing hang out spot in a huge open area. A multitude of restaurants and sweets shops are in the area to satisfy your cravings, and there is lots of other shopping all nearby too. This place is one of the reasons they say Belgium is the heart of Europe!

This seems to be the main place to visit when in Brussels. It was packed with tourists every time we passed through. The building are all excellent to look at, with really interesting external details. You can easily get from here to other attractions by walking (the inner centre isn't huge). Loads of Cafes/waffles/Chocolate and lager/beer in the surroundings.

A great place in Brussels any time of day and late night. Always bustling qith tourists and locals. A lot of restaurant choices all around the place. I visited this place both during the day and the night and it was equally good. The nighttime view is great die to the wonderful colorful lighting. We had a wonderful time visiting this place.

One of the most interesting and beautiful spots in Brussels. The square is surrounded by very beautiful and astonishing buildings. It's a must visit place in Brussels. It's fantastic during the day and marvelous during the night with the lights making it very special. Highly recommended.

Stunning grand place! The guild houses are beautiful! Check out the town halls architecture. At first sight it look symmetrical but if you look closer nothing is symmetrical. The plaza is also used for open air events. When we were there the Jazz festival was taking place. Definitely worth a visit!

It was so amazing visit Brussel.. especially grand place. It is full of historical building. The building so huge. Old but classic. Fantastic. I suggest you to visit grand place and try to eat the waffle and French fries ... so yummy ... But it is better you visit on the work day... Because will full of people on the weekend or holiday time. Have A good one 🥰

One of the best centric place of Brussels, it's close to the central station.. it's a very much crowded area... The buildings and statue architecture is so unique and attractive..you can walk and enjoy the beautiful city places and views..

An amazing place steeped in history and character. The hustle and bustle of the area added to the atmosphere. I was pushing my son in a wheelchair and found it a little challenging but it was manageable. I felt safe and didn't need to worry too much about pickpocketing.

The Manneken Pis in Brussels, Belgium, is a beloved and quirky symbol of the city. This small bronze statue of a little boy urinating into a fountain has captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike. Despite its size, the statue has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. It has been dressed in various costumes and outfits, reflecting different themes and occasions. Visitors often find it charming and amusing, and it's considered one of Brussels' most famous landmarks. The statue's wardrobe is kept in the nearby Brussels City Museum, and there's even a tradition of occasionally flowing beer from the statue during special events.

This is also a must do if you come to Brussels....but don't expect it to be huge and magnificent..... it's actually really small. Small doesn't mean unrelevant, or to be disregarded. It's like an awkwardness! This little guys is being dressed differently all the time. And the streets to to it are beautiful

A small statue of a naked boy child pissing is kept in the famous square. Has a historical significance. The original statue is kept in the Belgium museum as it was stolen so many times. This one's a replica. And there's always a huge crowd to watch this statue. The irony is there isn't a single restroom available nearby, if you felt like pissing! There are many shops lined on the road towards the Statue from the Grand Square, you can't miss the crowds. A restaurant right next to the statue has a huge queue as well for people wanting to fine here. I loved a Lace shop exactly diagonal to the Statue. It has lovely white & Black lace objects like handkerchief, decorative items, artifacts, etc made from white Belgian lace which was once a very handy, delicate & famous Art form. I bought myself a White laced Umbrella for thirty Euros from this shop as I am a big fan of hand made articles, as I come from India.

A overrated Statue you find only because a lot of crowd is around. Few 100 meters from Grand place. A nice walk from Grand place.

I wonder why so many people gather to see this little statue of a boy pissing! It is a success of promoting a city! They prepare different clothes for the boy on special occasions and you can see its previous clothes in a museum just a fifty meters up the street from the statue. To avoid crowds, visit the statue early in the morning

30/04/22: having been to Brussels 4 times, it is only in the last few years that I have documented places I've visited, as a part of my Google legacy. This time in Brussels I was celebrating my Stag Do with 18 friends. Probably one of the most famous photo opportunities in the whole of Brussels. Scout Day today, hence the little wee lad was eventually dressed as a Boy Scout!

A cute little sculpture, one of Brussels’ attractions. The sculpture is really not that big so low your expectation. The surrounding area is somehow clean despite a lot of visitors. It’s an easy walk from the center.

The symbol of Brussels, a bronze figure of a naked peeing boy. Those who see it for the first time may be disappointed by its greatness. Always surrounded by crowds of tourists, Manneken Pis is often dressed up in different outfits. Around delicious Belgian snacks: waffles and fries.

We stopped here as a stop of our tour. It’s a very nice statue with a beautiful story behind it. Amazing vibes and lots of tourist around it. Awesome to visit and I guess even better to see it while they’re changing his attire! Highly recommended There is even a calendar of when they change it

Extremely cool visit. Was glad to see that they managed to keep the full tour going while accommodating all the new Corona guidelines. The travelling art installation in the higher spheres had everyone stopped in their tracks as soon as they entered.

A good place which is the information about its history and construction. The lift takes you directly to the uppermost sphere from where you can watch the city all around. The other spheres can be explored only after coming down. The audio visual display could have been better.

While this is a Brussels landmark it’s really rather boring. It looks impressive from the outside, but you can save your money & look at it from the outside. The interior is an observation level on the top which is only 95 meters high. I’d recommend not paying to go in. The coolest thing is at the end they have some funky lights going up and down the last escalators.

A must do if you are in Brussels. What a construction piece!!!! was extremely futuristic when built prior 1960s. You better take tickets online as I forgot and could not take them on the same day and needed to stay in the cue for almost an hour. The tour takes approximately an hour , once you manage to go in. You can read about its construction, you have a nice view up there and have a light and sound show.

This was such a pretty place especially when the sun hits it correctly. With the tour it’s 16 euros per person and 8.5 for kids. A little pricy but you can combine it with the Little Europe tickets! I definitely recommend for a good view and lovely photos! Overall a 4.5 just because the top is a little boring as you will probably only stay up there for a 10 minute experience. But the light shows and the glowing escalators made up for it and was absolutely beautiful!

My visit to the Atomium in Brussels was an absolute delight! The futuristic architecture of this iconic landmark left me in awe. It's a must-visit attraction that truly stands out in the city's skyline. I highly recommend experiencing the light exhibition while at the Atomium. The dazzling display added a whole new dimension to the visit and made the entire experience even more memorable. It was a fantastic way to appreciate the structure in a different light, quite literally! Booking the tickets online was a smart decision, as it helped me avoid the long lineup and save valuable time. With the place being busy, it's definitely a tip worth following to make the most of your visit. One of the highlights for me was discovering the lovely picnic spots around the Atomium. The picturesque surroundings provided a perfect setting to relax, enjoy some delicious snacks, and take in the beautiful views. All in all, the Atomium is a must-see attraction in Brussels, and the light exhibition is a great way to enhance the experience. Whether you're a history buff or simply looking to admire stunning architecture, this place won't disappoint. Plan ahead, get your tickets online, and don't forget to bring some snacks for a delightful picnic experience!

Great location. Nice park for small picnic with family and kids. Ample parking available at site. Walk and bike riding dedicated spaces available. Day well spent given weather is ideal.

It's amazing! A real work of art, engineering and architecture. I've passed by it a couple of times over the past few years and I've always been amazed by it, but, unfortunately, I never got the chance to visit inside. Finally, this summer I chose to tick it off from the bucket list and I'm so glad I did it! First of all, approaching the park and seeing the Atomium from afar leaves you speechless because it's something you can't find anywhere else. The exhibition at the lower levels shows the whole history and construction process of the building it's so interesting and enriched by photos, documents and flyers from the '50s. Seeing the initial designs and then what it turned up to be, proves that the human mind is capable of grand things! The ID#2021 - Symbol exhibition is a full immersion in sound & light. Simply mind-blowing. Going from one sphere to the other is exciting and getting to the upper sphere and enjoy the panorama is really great. If you happen to be in Brussels, you definitely have to reserve a couple of hours to fully enjoy the Atomium!

There are two parts of a visit. First, you take the staircase to levels and enjoy light shows with music. Second, come back downstairs and queue for the elevator. The elevator takes you to watch tower part where one can have higher look at view. Tickets can be purchased in the entrance (with combination of Mini Europe optionally).

The Atomium in Brussels is often praised for its unique and futuristic design, offering panoramic views of the city from its observation decks. Visitors appreciate the historical significance of this iconic building from the 1958 World Expo. Its interconnected spheres provide an interesting museum experience with exhibits about the Expo and the structure itself. Overall, it's considered a must-see attraction in Brussels.

Highly recommend going early as it can get quite busy. Beautiful building from the world fair. It's a fantastic experience, the panoramic view at the top isn't all that great since there isn't much buildings around. However the exhibitions are quite interesting and fascinating as it takes you through the history of the world fair and the construction of the building itself. Also there are some nice light shows in some parts of the exhibition. Keep in mind that you will have to use stairs in some parts of the building.

Super super super touristy spot. Nice to walk through the “tunnel” and go window shopping . Tons of chocolate shops, waffles, and fancy clothing stores. There is even a cinema playing indie artistic festival films that we enjoyed

Another legendary area of Brussels. Here you will find great food and lots of shopping. There are some unique shops where you can find gifts and souvenirs unlike any I have ever seen before this trip! Absolutely a must visit.

A must visit in #Brussel to explore world famous beautiful Grand-Place square, the city has the first glazed shopping arcades in Europe when Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries opened in 1847, 365 costumes for the city’s famed Manneken Pis statue, Tin tin & smurf too. Amazing beer session at nearby pub with hundreds variety to choose with great taste making you more thirsty 🍻.

There are numerous luxury brand shops inside this beautifully built building. Either you wanna shop or do a window shopping its a must visit place. I loved clicking loads of picture not just the shops but the architecture of the saint huberts hall. And nor to forget to get few pictures of us clicked as well. If you wanna get some pictures without the messy crowd, have a walk early in the morning around 8 am and you should be able to get some beautiful shots!

Initiated around 1837, the project led by the young architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaer aimed to revitalize a disadvantaged neighborhood by constructing a building that would accommodate residential units, shops, cultural venues, and recreational areas. Construction commenced in 1846, and the official inauguration occurred on June 20, 1847, with the presence of Leopold I. The place formerly known as the Umbrella of Brussels was designed in the Florentine Renaissance style. Its most notable feature is the ingenious glass roof, supported by a series of self-supporting arches. The roof is adorned with fish-scale style tiles, which enhance ventilation and prevent condensation. Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert is a great place for shopping and browsing, both for locals and tourists. I can say that it offers a shelter from the unpredictable Belgian weather. There are a variety of shops, restaurants, and cafes, with a focus on chocolate ateliers and gift shops. The prices at the mall are higher compared to regular shops, as they mostly offer luxurious gifts and souvenirs. It is a pleasant place to spend time and admire beautiful things. The mall tends to be crowded during the day.

It is always a pleasure to stroll through the Royal Galleries St Hubert and see the exquisite items on display in its beautiful shop windows, buy gourmet chocolates, or sit in its cafes. Maison Dandoy is always worth a visit to get Speculoos! Italian-style gallery in the Belgian capital. Today the lighting was the same as the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

It’s really an eye catching experience strolling through the shopping mall. The high glass ceilings provide much charm and elegance. So many beautifully displayed shops and cafes. Most of the stores sell chocolate.

Beautiful arcade with very nice shops. Managed to get all my gifts here, which was handy. Also a great place to shelter from a rainy day without boxing yourself up in a restaurant or indoor cafe.

Another famous place of Brussels. It's a hub of chocolates , different foods and shopping...All the stores are really beautiful and so colourful.. it's near the central station..

Stepping into the Royal Gallery of Saint Hubert was like entering a realm of enchantment. The grandeur of the beautifully adorned architecture, with its soaring glass ceilings and intricate detailing, left me in awe. As I strolled along the elegant promenade, surrounded by luxurious shops and bustling cafes, a sense of wonder filled the air. The exquisite displays of haute couture, fine jewelry, and artisanal chocolates captivated my senses, making it a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The melodies of street musicians filled the gallery, adding a touch of harmony to the vibrant atmosphere. It was a truly unforgettable experience, where time seemed to stand still, allowing me to savor every moment in this remarkable place."

We happened to be here during the national holiday and we're treated to an event that honored those that fought for Belgium. Beautiful big cathedral that towers over everything else. Lovely pipe organ that we got to hear for the event. Definitely worth seeing.

An incredible masterpiece of architecture and art… well worth the visit! So much history and so many pieces of art and sculpture… Enough to fill hours if you want! The building is very impressive.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever seen in my life. The atmosphere inside the church is very quiet and peaceful. The entry is free but you can light candles with 1 or 2 euros. It seemed like a popular tourist spot and the place is near grand place.

A beautiful cathedral with a presence over the skyline in Brussels. Love the architecture and the decoration on the outside of the cathedral. It was equally as nice on the inside. Not as decorated as some places I have seen, but very nice.

Well maintained/restored structure sure to be popular with architectural history buffs. You can roam around freely to take in all the details and there are not any restrictions on photography (like in some cathedrals). I especially liked the old school confessional which brought me back to my parochial school days.

Super beautiful, both inside and outside. Really big cathedral, inside there is a machine for you to get a souvenir coins for 2 euros. Architecture is super amazing, super amazed by the inside.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever been in. Go early if you don’t want to see a lot of tourists because it gets busy very quickly. Stunning architecture, and they had a gorgeous display of nativities from around the world. Colder inside than outside, so dress warmly!

Beautiful church :-) When you enter in the afternoon (I went on a Saturday), just next to the door you have volunteers who take you around. The visit was around 1h and went in great detail (interesting information) of the church, stain glass windows and history. It's a great way to see more than what appears at first glance.

The restaurant was classy and cozy. And the waiter was welcoming, but they forgot (?) what we ordered menus several times. It was little bit weird feeling. By the way, highly recommend you to order the lobster, it was really delicious and also fresh. But... the seafood spaghetti was not that good, soggy noddle and not fresh squid on it.

You should eat here at least once in Brussels. The owner is a Spanish expat and the food reminds me of Spain! Very authentic and delicious. Not very salty. The seafood was so fresh and tender. Omg the squid 🐙🦑! Tender, sweet, and generous amount. It's a bit pricey but you cannot avoid it anywhere in the age of the global inflation. I will definitely come back here if I ever visit Brussels again but probably try a different dish.

The service was a bit stressed and not that friendly. Therefore they did not advise me properly on what I get. the lobster bisque was ok but nothing special. The whole lobster was a bit overcooked and plates are too overfilled to properly start eating without leaving a mess behind.

Delicious Seafood and Good Service! We decided to try out the lobster spaghetti (Lobster Royal), mussels with white wine, and grey shrimp croquettes, pairing them with a glass of white wine and local beers. The ingredients were fresh. Our food arrived promptly, and the staff was friendly. At €118, it was worth every penny. I recommend paying a visit, especially if you're a seafood enthusiast!

Superbly perfect lobster! ❤️ Great atmosphere even for a very packed Wednesday evening, definitely upscale--but dress as you like--no dress code and a wide diversity of people both young and old. My husband had the steak with pepper sauce which was heavenly as well and cooked to perfection. The Maître d' was excellent as well and extremely helpful with the menu. Highly recommend! PS. Thanks for the beer 🍻 😊👍🏻

Best lobster in Europe! Fresh and tasty. The squid and shrimps were so fresh too. Reasonable price. The staffs are super nice , smart, enthusiastic and warm heart. Highly recommended. Better make a reservation before go. Definitely will be back again.

The Lobster House food was delicious. The seafood pasta was filled with fresh seafoods (Shrimp, squid, clams, mussels). The pasta was also perfect. The staff was friendly and the service was good. Great place to sit down and eat when your in Brussels. The Belgian waffle topped with ice cream and chocolate is a great dessert.

If you are looking for a traditional lobster restaurant, this is it. Very old world decor & feel, the place feels like a non nonsense lobster fest & we booked this place with exactly this kind of expectation! Prior reservation is a must as they fill up quick! Order their lobster. That’s it 😁😁 One star less coz the service can be a bit better!

Absolute favourite seafood place in Brussels! ✨🦞🦐🦀 We came for a city break for two days and usually don’t like going somewhere twice but we visited Lobster House twice within a couple of days! Fantastic service, very knowledgeable and fun team. The food was super delicious and could eat there every day. Very fresh and tasty seafood. Oysters as fresh as you get them straight from a boat. Had the mussels, one full pot, my partner had to help me fishing it. The sauce garlic & cream was amazing too. Everything just top! My partner had the seafood paella, it was perfectly cooked and such a good portion. It's a simple restaurant but I guess you come there for the food. The restaurant gets booked up very quickly so make sure to reserve a spot

Made a reservation a month in advance and it was well worth it. Service was great with helpful and friendly staff. Ameen was great! Lobster was cooked to perfection and portion sizes are definitely made to feed an empty stomach so make sure you go there hungry! Beer on tap was also a great choice. Best food we've had so far in Europe!!!

The best restaurant for lobsters and shells food. Location is very close to the Grand Palace. The service is excellent. Chef is a lady that obviously talented. Price per person is about 45-50 Euro. Lobsters are brought from Canada and kept alive. Better you reserve the table via Google Maps

Brilliant food and quantity. Great service too, very friendly staff, the lobster, mussels, fish soup and paella was fantastic!! Highly recommended.

It’s interesting that I found all clients are from Asia when I walked in. I think they all checked Google reviews and picked it? The lobster spaghetti is awesome. The mussels and beers are good. The starter and dessert are ok. The service is excellent! Highly recommend it when you visit Brussels.

Good pasta, but the sauce is nothing to be crazy about. There are a lot of variety but the sauce and paste taste doesn’t blend too well. The sauce itself is very mild on all dishes but the taste is mainly in the “meat” which is way too salty if eat by itself. So you are left with salty meat and bland sauce.

Real Italian Pasta in Brussels! I referred google reviews and reserved a table for lunch- it was great choice. Basic, simple but special pastas were authentic Italian and the portion was large enough. The man seems like Italian and proud of restaurant, who explained all the menus with passion, was generous and professional. To enjoy real Italian in Brussels, strongly recommend you to reserve a table in advance.

I was a little skeptical when looking at the location but this was really really delicious and nice. The owner who is a true original Italian comes explain all the pasta that his wife is making on a daily basis and these did not disappoint!! Definitely will be back

This is the best pasta place I have ever been to. Since its in the centre of Brussels you would imagine it to be very commercial, pricey, etc. But this place is authentic, run by a family. The owner(s) explain everything with a lot of patience and explain the menu the ingredients etc. The staff is very friendly. Overall its an experience plus everything is delicious. It's worth more than what you pay for. Highly Recommend.

best pasta in town. all pasta is homemade. i have been here several times, every time choosing a different dish and not once have i been disappointed. because the pasta is so good it is very hard to find a table. so I recommend to make reservations whenever possible, either by calling or via Whatsapp.

Absolutely fantastic food and experience! The older gentleman was passionate in explaining the dishes and the pasta was delicious. It's popular, so it's a very good idea to make a reservation (send a WhatsApp message to +32 476 24 90 23).

First of all impeccable service!! We got a proper explanation, the tables were clean, didn’t catch the waiters without a smile! The best part was the food, absolutely delicious and enough to be full. I came with my family of 5 and we all tried different styles of pasta, you can taste that they are home made and with lotssss of love!! Will come back for more! (I’m a local so don’t worry it’s not a tourist trap)

My favourite restaurant in Brussels center! Heavenly pasta plus delicious desserts! On top the cozy/chic ambiance and the sympathy of the staff is always remembered 👏

Family owned, authentic, homemade pasta. Absolutely fantastic! The Buffalo mozzarella caprice appetizer was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The mushroom pasta with smoked ham was divine! Sorry for the red pictures but we were seated outside with the heat lamps.

This place exceeded our expectations. We have high standards for pasta since we’ve been in Italy several times but this was absolutely amazing! We unfortunately found this our last night in Brussels otherwise we would’ve had dinner there every night! Pasta was so good, after our two dishes (we ordered the truffle pasta- no other restaurant in the world will top this one off) we ordered 2 more because we wanted to try more of that amazing menu!

That's the first time I eat something with truffles which I can actually taste also the other ingredients, doesn't only taste truffle. This was the most delicious dish with truffles I ever had. My family had the tagliatelle pizzaiolo and was perfect too, perfect balance od ingredients. Extremely fresh pasta. Memorable end of trip!

We had a great dinner and experience. The food and the service were terrific! The meat and mushroom fettuccine, the salmon pasta, and the Caprese were all fabulous. Great dinner to end our stay in Brussels!

EPIC experience. You cannot go wrong here. We had the amazing rabbit stew, mussels in garlic, cream and wine sauce, and a Caesar salad. Best Caesar salad we’ve had anywhere. You can easily share the Caesar salad as a starter between 3-4 people. The mussels say one person portion, but it was huge also. We saw the ham bone special at another table and it was amazing as well. Stellar service by all, friendly, welcoming and chill. Nikolaus was our server and was absolutely first rate. Food arrived quickly, but they never rushed you. We really appreciated that there was enough staff to provide good service. Throughout the evening no less than three people checked on us. In this economy some restaurants seem to be economizing by reducing staff and as a customer you feel like you’re searching for help. Never the situation tonight at Le Bistro. Literally cannot say enough positive about our experience. You will not be disappointed.

It was good memory to visit here in Brussels. The waiter was friendly and it was vood time to have lunch there. The mussles and spaghetti bolognaise was very tasty We was outside tabld for lunch, but the atmophere inside was really delightful. They also gaved us tea for free before leaving👍 Highly rcommend to visit here :)

I visited this place with my significant other. The day was sunny and this place was simply perfect. The outdoor seating was accompanied by a gorgeous side view of what appears to be a castle. The service made us feel at home. I ordered the pork knuckle (knuckle of ham) and I ordered the salmon for my girlfriend. Needless to say, the food was great.

Rude service and mediocre food (and really really bad fries). We booked this place in the hope of having a great traditional Brussels dinner experience and it turned out quite disappointing. Mostly because the service was very rushed and rude. We had a relatively early dinner booking and arrived when there were plenty of free tables (both downstairs and upstairs!). Yet they wanted to seat us in the dark corner under the stairs. We asked for another table and reluctantly they gave us another one. The waiter was very abrupt in his communications with us which created a very bad atmosphere for us as we felt very unwelcome. The menu is small offering a few classics like the mussels and beef dishes plus a few starter and dessert options. We had cheese croquettes and caprese salad for starters which were edible but not particularly tasty. For main we had the mussels which also were just okay. The fries were such a let down. I can’t remember when the last time was that I had such badly made fries. In the end I had mussels with white bread instead.

Nice place with a lot of character and pretty view on Porte de Hal. We had Flemish Beef Stew, Meatballs with Tomato Sauce, beer and ice tea. Everything was good. Flemish stew very tasty if you don’t mind meals with a beer taste. Meatballs could be a little bit more spicy but still very good. Don’t recommend homemade ice tea, but I guess you go there to drink beer, not a tea.

Amazing location and vibe at the foot of the Porte de Hal castle, food was good but not amazing. Ample outdoor seating, but the indoor vibe was nice too. Moules were pretty good, fries not so much. My father got the chicken with green pepper sauce, which I enjoyed a bite of, but still not fantastic. Chocolate mousse for dessert was great! Grimbergen beer was kinda flat despite the beautiful bar where it was poured. Come here for the view, not the food. It was still worth the metro trip away from the hotel and most restaurants.

Great food, great servers, and great atmosphere!! Highly recommended. Love their BBB beefs, it has been a while in Europe that i can find a beef as good as the one in Texas. All dishes stew with beer are the must tries.

Starting by saying that the place is medium priced. But it's just absurd that water is more expensive than beer....¿? Mussels were very good (1 portion is perfect to share by two). Good burger and the other dishes were OK (not exceptional). Fries not good, little boring. The service is great! Understanding that 5 is for outstanding places, I give it 4 stars

Quite expensive in terms of both drinks (3,5eur for a 25cl pils) and food. Medium portions almost all priced more than 20eur. Cuisine is traditional Belgian but only average in taste. We tried vol au vent was not so tasty and the salmon too cooked and tasteless. It’s on a big and busy street, just next to the hospital so it gets very noisy. Otherwise very nicely decorated- Belgian beers in a traditional bistro setting. Friendly service

Great location! We walked up and were able to sit immediately. We sat outside and enjoyed the ambience. I had the smoked salmon and my wife enjoyed her meal, too. They did not rush us even though people were waiting. Highly recommend

September 2023 The restaurant is located little away from the crowded area. It is in between St. Catherine and Grand place. Staff is very nice and food options are good. You will always find it full but you can find seat. There are many non-vegetarian (meats and seafoods) options available. You may not find many vegetarian options. There is sitting space outside and you can enjoy your drink.

Was trying to find a different place but ended up here somehow but I think we got lucky! Such a lovely place with delicious food. I love that they brought bread and butter while we were waiting for our order, these details can be important... We ordered the tomato/mozarella salad, cod fillet and vol au vent. Everything was very well made, even the fries on the side but my favorite was the cod for sure! The cod fillet was cooked just the perfect amount, the potato puree was a bit under seasoned but it was fine. We didn't have the time to try out the beer, unfortunately. But I did manage to buy some from the market the following day and I really liked their blonde beer. Would highly recommend!

Really nice place! Not only great beer but amazing food! We had a traditional (and huge) smoke ham with mustard sauce and a steak tartare. Both are well served and very tasty! By far, the best food we had in Brussels, and of course, great beer. It is not that cheap, but it is worth every penny.

The food was delicious. Order from the local section and get anything with stoemp! The sausage was savory and smokey and the gravy was plentiful! Great beer selection as well. It helps if you speak French, but some of the waiters do speak English.

The food was good except for the sausages, they were over cooked. The beef stew is easily the best dish they serve and their fries are good but really greasy because they’re fried in pig lard. The service was good.

We got this place as a recommendation from our hotel staff, and I can say we’re very happy! As entrance, I got garlic shrimp and my husband Garlic snails.. really nice! As a main dish I got the flemish stew, it was beyond delicious and my husband got the rabbit, he was in heaven according to his face while eating it! Hahaha really nice local place to eat! Friendly staff!

We went here during the evening to have the croquettes because there were none from the Christmas market stalls. The ambience was great. Staff was friendly. The croquettes were amazing! They were crispy and tasted great. The facilities were clean. Great location too

The fish and squid rings were fresh and delicious. Squid rings are definitely a must try here. It is uniquely prepared. It comes with squid ink sauce which is amazing. The amount of potato on side was good and huge in portion. The lime and mint lemonade was super refreshing. The location of this place is very convenient. It is centrally located.

Bia Mara offers the best fish n' chips in Belgium, in my opinion. The classic is a bit on the salty side for my taste, but overall it's a lovely place to enjoy good fish. I can especially recommend the garlic truffle sauce! On this occasion, my husband and I enjoyed the classic and the curry.

Best fish n’ chips in town! The place was very cozy and the food was tasty. They were super fast btw, and very nice waitress. A bit more expensive compared to other fish and chips places but it’s worth it.

Really good fish and chips! The potatoes tasted fresh and delicious. The pollock isn’t my favourite but it’s still good! The staff is nice and welcoming! But the dish is a bit pricey.

Price performance ratio was a bit off. The fish was tasty however my portion and husband's varied greatly. I felt that the potato wedges were cooked in older oil. Mushy peas tasted great as well as the curry fish.

Very nice fish and ships. The crust is perfectly crispy but thin and the fish moist. Just wish they had some regular mayo to go with the fries. Also highly recommend getting the shrimp nibbles. They’re sunny tasty.

Easy-going fish and chips restaurant, ideal for a quick bite. 🐟🍟 Hearty food with lots of flavour. Fish is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Chips on the side are crispy, with plenty of delicious sauce on the side. 🪑 Rudimentary but still cozy interior. Service is fast, so you should be able to get a table without booking. 💶 Became a bit more expensive over the years, but still good value.

Good experience indulging in their Fish and Chips. The place was cozy and the staff were friendly. As a starter, Recommend trying the Sesame Panko Prawns. They were perfectly crispy and crunchy, offering a combination of flavors and textures. For the main course, We opted for the Lemon & Basil Tempura and the Spanish Panko Fish. Accompanied by homemade sauces and flavorful fries, both dishes were a treat . The fish was fresh and flaky, making it well worth a try. To quench our thirst, we enjoyed the refreshing lime and mint lemonade, which complemented the meals perfectly. It is worth noting that the place tends to be crowded. Overall, if you are in search of a good fish and chips experience, this spot offers a cozy ambiance, friendly service, and tasty dishes.
