Le Perroquet — Restaurant in Brussels

Le Perroquet – A Place of Togetherness in the Heart of Brussels

There are places you don’t just enter – they welcome you. Le Perroquet, right in the heart of Brussels, is one of those places. The moment the door swings open, you step into more than just a space. It’s a feeling, a presence, something that has been shaped by years of encounters, conversations, and quiet moments that linger in the air.

It starts with a smile – the owner’s, warm and unchanged despite having seen countless people come and go. But it doesn’t end there. It lives on in the paintings on the walls, in the stories that have been told and lived within these very rooms. If you allow yourself to slow down, to listen, you can feel it – the dignity, the history, the weight of something that has always been here.

And then, there is the grandmother. The one who once had a parrot. She is gone now. The parrot, too. But their presence lingers, their stories are still told. Voices keep them alive. In the clinking of glasses, in the bursts of laughter, in the gentle hush of a quiet conversation late at night.

People move closer together. This is a place where strangers don’t stay strangers for long, where people meet in a way that feels rare these days. And isn’t that exactly what Europe needs right now? Not division, not distance, but this – this act of welcoming, of making space for others, of sharing a drink and a moment that matters.

Outside, the world moves faster and faster. But here, something remains. Not the glittering flash of modernity, but the quiet, enduring magic of human connection. A place that deserves to be celebrated – not for being loud, but for keeping something precious alive: a space for...

If I could give 0 stars, I would.

A restaurant’s reputation is built on two things: its staff and its food. Unfortunately, this place fails miserably on both fronts. I honestly don’t understand how they’re still in business with such mediocre food quality and unprofessional, disrespectful staff.

We ordered pitas, which took over 40 minutes to arrive — and when they finally did, they came with rotten salad leaves and dry, flavorless chicken cubes. No wonder they drown everything in sauce — it’s clearly meant to cover up the poor quality of what’s inside.

The salads? Absolutely inedible. Just a waste of money and time.

And the staff? Rude, careless, and unapologetic. When we voiced our concerns, the waitress simply looked at us, walked away, and never returned.

As we were leaving, we caught a glimpse of the kitchen — and I genuinely don’t know how that place passed any kind of hygiene inspection. It was filthy and clearly not up to any sanitary standard.

Honestly, it’s a disgrace. But from the way the place is run, it’s obvious they...

So desapointing !!! I m local so I know several places who will do real good pitta in Brussels but this one should defintely be your last option ! Maybe they are surfing on a past success, but for sure, the golden age is over !!! The meat is dry, the quality of the bread is really cheap and the service.... ohhh my god... I m not sure we can call it service. They are rude, without a smile and if you try to ask them a service dont expect any help :-(The restaurant was cold inside (like the service :-((( I kept my jacket for eating) I m pretty sûre it was better to eat outside. At the end, even the bill was a pain... We just wanted to split it in two but it was not possible for no reasons. I understand they dont want to spend time dealing with bills but at that moment the restaurant was almost empty, there was no rush so they could do it easely... We are almost on 2019 and this kind of service should really stop. There is so many good places to eat around so i m not going recommend...
