Brasserie de la ville — Restaurant in Brussels

Massive tourist trap, I would advise to look elsewhere. The mussels (half of which were empty) and fries are frozen (shameful for the capital of fries), the accompanying sauces are overdiluted by an excess of celery (maybe in a poor attempt to cover up the general insipidity). The wine (white Chardonnay) tasted of the metal from its aluminium screw top. Service was dismal (except for one waiter who was new and very nice). The manager was unpleasant and yelled at me for tearing the receipt off the credit card machine myself (and kept telling me off very aggressively even after I apologized and explained that my intention was just to help him out). They also refused to serve tap water (even just one glass), and the water bottle is 8.50€. The toilets are dark, dank, and stink of week-old urine. I believe this place lives off its formerly good reviews which are now...

A fuir ! Nous sommes aller manger dans ce restaurant samedi soir. Mes amis ont commandé des moules et moi "un vol au vent" (prix 19,50€). Le seul vol au vent dans l'assiette etait noyé par la sauce. Le poulet qui avait été ajouté, etait très ! Ils n'ont meme pas pris la peine de le rechauffer avec la sauce... Je me suis mis à douter de la qualité quand je me suis a mâcher très fort pour le manger. J'ai alors demander au serveur de quand datait le poulet. Tout ce qu'il a su me repondre c'est qu'il m'offrait le plat. Depuis samedi soir, je me sens pas bien du tout, j'ai fait une intoxication alimentaire. Je trouve cela inadmissible que vous serviez des repas avariés a vos clients.

Je ne recommande pas du tout cette adresse !

To flee ! We went to eat at this restaurant on Saturday night. My friends ordered mussels and I "a vol au vent" (price €19.50). The only vol au vent on the plate was drowned out by the sauce. The chicken that had been added, was very dry ! They didn't even bother to reheat it with the sauce... I began to doubt the quality when I chewed very hard to eat it. I then asked the server when the chicken was dated. All he could tell me was that he offered me the dish. Since Saturday evening, I don't feel well at all, I had food poisoning. I find it unacceptable that you serve spoiled meals to your customers. I do not recommend this address at all!

Vluchten ! Zaterdagavond zijn wij bij dit restaurant gaan eten. Mijn vrienden bestelden mosselen en ik "een vol au vent" (prijs € 19,50). De enige vol au vent op het bord werd overstemd door de saus. De kip die was toegevoegd, was erg! Ze namen niet eens de moeite om het op te warmen met de saus. Ik begon te twijfelen aan de kwaliteit toen ik heel hard kauwde om het op te eten. Vervolgens vroeg ik de server wanneer de kip gedateerd was. Het enige wat hij me kon vertellen was dat hij mij het gerecht aanbood. Sinds zaterdagavond voel ik me helemaal niet lekker, ik heb een voedselvergiftiging gehad. Ik vind het onaanvaardbaar dat u verwende maaltijden aan uw klanten serveert.

Ik raad dit adres...

Microwaved food for 40 euros?? I can understand a bit of French, and listening to the waitress tell the table next to you "you'll get something special unlike those tourists" really ruined my appetite. On our romantic holiday to Brussels we booked a table for dinner at this restaurant in hope to taste authentic Belgian food. We arrived a little later than the French-speaking table next to us. Our food came first (obviously microwaved) mine was meatballs and fries, but the meatballs and sauce (with clumps) were a lot colder than the fries. The waitresses were condescending and a lot less service-focused than any other place in Brussels. Utterly terrible experience and very...
