  • (Translated by Google) A completely accidental find, but what a discovery! This little family-run brasserie (and a special thank you to "Sadri") offers very generous portions and all the flavor you could wish for. For me, it was the "Seafood Casserole," but everything else was excellent... from the mussels to the soups... bravo! What a pleasure to still find such well-run and welcoming establishments, even late in the evening. We arrived at 10:30 pm... and were received as if it were early in the evening, without any hesitation or pressure to finish quickly. On the contrary, "Sadri" made it clear that we should take our time, that's what they were there for... I'll be returning to Brussels largely to eat there again 🤗🤗🤗. I went back for a beer the next day to thank them again. (Original) Une trouvaille par pure hasard, mais quelle découverte, cette petite brasserie, tenue en famille( et surtout merci "Sadri") avec des plats très généreux et tout le goût qui va avec, pour moi ce fut "La casserole de fruits de mer" mais tout le reste était excellent...que ce soit les moules ou les soupes... bravo, quel plaisir de trouver encore des établissements si bien tenus et aussi accueillant même tard dans la soirée, nous sommes arrivés à 22h30... et on nous a reçu comme en début de soirée, sans aucune hésitation ni pression pour finir rapidement, au contraire "Sadri" nous a bien précisé de prendre notre temps qu'ils étaient là pour ça... je reviendrai à Bruxelles en grande partie pour revenir manger chez eux🤗🤗🤗, j'y suis retourné pour boire une bière le lendemain et encore les remercier.
