    Popular restaurant in Ixelles. The burgers are delicious! A bit expensive though but it’s worthy. The area is also very nice and it’s to eat on the terrace (read sidewalk).

    Nice theme for a restaurant. The cordon bleu was very rich and fullfilling with comté, chicken, duck meat and foie gras! Brunch also seemed promising. Make a reservation!

    Been here 3 times now over the period of one year and they have never disappointed. Whether you order fish or meat, it's always excellent. Great atmosphere and nicely decorated. Reservations necessary

    The atmosphere is super cool inside and the terrace is nice. But for the price, the portions are rather small, we were both still hungry after. My salmon (even “mi-cuit”) was still raw in some parts.

    Relaxed atmosphere and pleasant service. My entrecôte was tasty but the burgers look decadent. They deserve to be tried next time in Brussels.

    Try everything!! Just kidding... Tartare is raw meat chopped into pieces and it's delicious! So is their tuna-steak!

    The entrecôte was really great but they forgot to bring fries for a friend's dish. When we asked the check there were things on it we didn't order...make a reservation or they'll out you at the toilet

    Très bon rapport qualité prix! La cocotte du chef un vrai délice. Le café gourmand avec son assortiment de desserts, vivement recommandé! Une très bonne adresse pour de la bonne cuisine franco-belge!

    Une cuisine originale mais simple, goûteuse et sans chichis, à prix abordable! Très chouette déco et ambiance. Personnel très sympa. Le mi-cuit de thon était à tomber! J'y retournerai!

    Brunch copieux et plutôt bon. Concept original. Le service est très mal géré, à la fois en cuisine et en salle - communication entre les membres du staff inexistante. Desserts attendus + D'UNE HEURE

    Excellent resto à 3 ou 4. Concept sympa, rien que lire la carte fait sourire ! Le burger roblochon/chèvre est énorme au propre comme au figuré contrairement à l'addition. Réservation OBLIGATOIRE.

    Le tartare de boeuf aux truffes est à tomber! A seulement 12€, ça vaut le détour. N'hésitez pas à tester le vin rouge du patron (Syrah).
