This authentic Syrian restaurant was such a great find, just a short distance from Ambiorix square. It is a small, quaint restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. The service was excellent, and the staff was happy to answer our questions in English as we do not speak much French.

Needless to say we were fully satisfied. 10/10 recommend and would...
