La Fourmilière — Restaurant in Anderlecht

WAOUW!

This bar is delightful. The two guys working there are tremendously kind and vigilant. I don't even want to get started with the drinks which are each one of them better than the other. The view on the church is incredibly pleasant. They have a stunning terrace, and when the sun is out, it feels like you just found heaven on Earth.

Inside, they did such a nice work organizing the space. It's ideal to work, but also to chill, have a good talk with an old friend, get dizzy with your best pals and having a last drink with the bartenders who always have that magic smile upon their faces that makes you think : well, in the end, maybe there is hope for humankind.

La Fourmilière changed my life, I wish it can change yours. It's worth a trip to Belgium even if you live in Australia. Yeah, it's that good.

Peace out and may the love supply...

This is an update to my review in November 2018, when I found this laid back, light and friendly coffee bar/pub utterly charming. Since then, the quality has dropped and the place feels more like a student flat suffering from last nights' party and the resulting slightly chaotic, but still charming, mess. Weekly bands and acts feature in the evenings and guest beers have been introduced, but the €3.5 coffee we had was undrinkable and there was no snacks or food. I have dropped 1-star.

The sunny front room is reserved as co-working space (10 people). The space is modern, fresh and comfortable for both working and chillaxing. The crew is friendly and well, studenty. Sadly, this kind of bar is missing in the area so I hope quality can improve so that this sets the scene for trendy hipster hangouts...

The place is cool but the service is awful. They are rather careless (too cool for school uh) and not very clean. I asked (and paid for) a plant based milk due to allergies; had the unpleasant surprise to taste it wasn't what I received. I had really insisted. Also they take forever to make the drinks (think like 15, 20 minutes for two hot drinks), there was nobody else inside. So, meh. I don't like going there but not a lot of choice in the...
