Anna ProtopsaltiAugust 22, 2014A classic brasserie with friendly staff.It serves great entrecotes, steak tartar,omelets & delicious desserts.The wine list is limited but very effective.It takes no reservations.Upvoted Dec 24, 2024
- Matteo PenzoNovember 7, 2022Nice bistrot close to the gothic cathedral. The mussels Sto arrivando! Not the classic ones but totally worth it. French fries are a must.
Peter ZurichJuly 25, 2015A classic! You cannot say you know brussels without knowing Le VSM. Typical Brussels dishes, don't think about your diet and just live it. Order extra mayonnaise to accompany those French fries.
Sarp ErkayaJuly 27, 2015A Belgian institution. Try the crevettes croquettes (shrimp croquettes) and pair with a delicious bellini
Finally had the fillet americain. Very good quality food, formal service and top level ambience. Expensive but deserved.
Belen TerlemezJuly 22, 2019We tried cheese crouqet and beef, it wa de-li-ci-ous!! Fries are ok also loved the homemade mayonnaise
Former president of the USA, Clinton, dined here during his visit to Brussels. (His seat is marked with a golden frame on the wall)
Rob BSeptember 11, 2013Good but pricey. Good quality food and both local and French cuisine, freshly squeezed citrus juice, great mousse au chocolat!
Miss SloaneNovember 16, 2015Really nice restaurant at my favourite location in Brussels. Go for the tartare and the fish & chips 🌟
Ksenia NovikovaJanuary 1, 2019Tasty waterzooi and salmon stake. The service was good. The place is in the heart of Sablon district.
- Lisa LisaFebruary 5, 2022Food is good , tartar is special- filet americano , salmon - quite good . Service - depends .
Kim PhamFebruary 2, 2015Do not leave without trying their famous filet américain! (If you like steak tartare)
Michael KoolenFebruary 13, 2022Food tasty. Service sub-par. Service made me feel rushed. Service did not explain why dinner was late, though it was clear there was a problem. Not for a relaxed dinner, but for a quick but good meal
- Servaas WalravensSeptember 4, 2012... had delicious mussels-fritas with tartare and a very tasty perfectly cooked entrecote.
- Gerard Van SwietenFebruary 7, 2019Stay clear of this place. The good reviews have clearly gone to their head. The food is mediocre for Brussels, service is tardy and waiters have an attitude which reinforced by their manager.
Jan-Willem CallebautNovember 12, 2017Very busy -service not always that good. Very basic french and flemish dishes. Expect nothing special, but just decent quality.
bonny_blueJanuary 4, 2015Fashionable place, good service but food is totally not my taste. Quality vs price doesn't suit.- PeetXMarch 14, 2018poor service, way to much on your plate. small redt pieces of fries. dit not like it.
