We had read previous reviews and we were excited to go and try it. Unfortunately, the place is just a glorified canteen with pretentions of a Turkish restaurant. The all-you-can-eat option is too expensive actually if you're the "normal" type of eater and you don't eat a lot, so in this case go with the formula 1, which is by weight. But beware: the hot buffet only has 4 options: musaka - which, as far as i know, it's not Turkish, but Greek-, some grilled vegetables and cheese, octopus and some chicken. Please, I can eat chicken anywhere! The rest of the food was cold buffet, which consisted of aubergine prepared in different ways, salad, hummus, tapenade, olives, rice, rice-filled sarmas and 2-3 dishes more. So you're paying 30e for aubergines prepared in 3 ways and for pumpkin. Come on.... But to end up in a positive manner, I have to say that the food tasted fresh and it was ok and the 1 type of baklava they had was actually very good. Unfortunately, we're not going back for all the other reasons mentioned above. Place has potential, though, so maybe if they make the decoration more Turkish, if they offer Turkish tea served in the way they do it in Turkey, if they change the music, the atmosphere and most important, if they serve real Turkish food, then they might get...

Je suis désolé, je ne peux pas m’abstenir. J’ai trop lu de bêtises d’un coup. Tu lis les avis bas de gamme Les champions du 1, 2 ou 3 étoiles punitifs… brefs. T’as pas envie de débattre — t’as envie de les prendre dans les bras… et de les pousser doucement… dans le vide. 👉 “On paie l’assiette !” Voilà. On a touché le fond. Avec les dents. L’assiette est déduite. Tu vois une balance ? Tu vois une tare ? C’est pas un piège, c’est un système de pesée. Si t’as pas compris la tare, c’est peut-être que t’es déjà bien taré. Si tu crois qu’on te facture la porcelaine, va te plaindre chez IKEA aussi. 👉 “On m’a demandé de mettre ma gourde sous la table !” Écoute, si tu viens au restaurant avec ta gourde perso, j’imagine que tu vas au cinéma avec ton Tupperware de popcorn ? Ta bière maison au bar ? Ta raclette dans ton sac au resto suisse ? Non ? Alors range ta gourde et respecte le lieu. 👉 “La nourriture est simple, genre snack.” Faux. La nourriture ici est étudiée, raffinée, pensée avec précision. Les chefs sont formés, jusqu’à la gastronomie moléculaire s’il le faut. Mais évidemment, pour les simples d’esprit, tout paraît “simple”. Quand ton radar cérébral est mal réglé, même un chef-d’œuvre te semble “plat”. 👉 Le service ? Impeccable. Implacable. Attentif. Non seulement ils sont accueillants et rapides, mais ils repèrent les pickpockets, ils protègent les clients, et ils connaissent leur clientèle fidèle depuis des années. Ils sont même tellement aux petits oignons qu’ils veillent à la sécurité des tables — et la grande terrasse, qualifiée de “cute outdoor square” par plusieurs clients, bénéficie du même soin. Pas vraiment l’ambiance d’un snack lambda, hein ? Gérée avec le même soin : confortable, ensoleillée, et toujours sous surveillance bienveillante. Et là t’as Jean-Kevin-la-Lanterne-Éteinte, cousin du pigeon confus et de la mouette à trottinette, venu une fois en expert TikTok auto-certifié, cerveau sous vide et palais calibré sur le menu enfant. Il demande où est le ketchup, croit que “buffet au poids” c’est une arnaque cosmique, cherche les nuggets au sucre, comprend rien… repart vexé et laisse une étoile — entre deux fautes d’orthographe, comme si c’était Koh-Lanta. Une étoile, juste pour se venger d’avoir rien compris à la vie. ➤ Un mauvais commentaire malhonnête peut faire du tort réel à un lieu d’excellence. ➤ Si tu ne sais pas apprécier, abstiens-toi. Tu fais du bruit, pas du sens. J’ai même mis des pictos et des flèches pour aider les une-étoilistes non diplômés — vous savez, ceux qui lisent un avis comme on suit une carte au trésor... mais sans la boussole,...

This place could have been 5 stars, because the food was amazing. Still, service brings it down to 4. I was with a group of 12. I had my water bottle with me, and I was asked to remove it from the table. The reasoning - "if clients see the water bottle, they will bring their own water. And I won't sell any water". This I find unacceptable, as my group already paid for water. I don't think it's right to deny a paying customer the ability to bring their own water. I didn't bring outside beer or juice. I brought water.

Again, food was great. But they should reconsider their reasoning in certain aspects, as they don't know if clients need water for medical purposes...

Are you tired of not getting what you want on your plate? Not to fear, the answer is here! At El Turco you get to choose from a selection of goodies to satisfy your current cravings. As a vegan-ish, I was more than happy with the result. The price? Depends how much you put on your plate - you pay by weight. The drinks were okay, nothing special. The environment, about the same, nothing I will remember on my deathbed but still satisfied for the moment. Don't dwEL, your TURn to choose will COme as well.

Good Turkish food: a wide selection of meze and salads, with chicken, shrimps or minced lam kefte, and a few sweets - all chosen by guests, self service. Paid by weight: EUR 3.80 per 100g - not cheap as a full plate ends at about EUR 20…. The food is good, fresh and tasty. And the place is full - if you come at lunch time you may spend 15-20 minutes queueing. Service and atmosphere is just average - if the weather is nice it is possible to sit outside which is much better…

This place perfectly shows that the Turkish cuisine does not consist solely of kebabs. Many choices of open-buffet type home-made cold dishes, and a number of warm meals including Turkish desserts, wine and beer. Being nicely decorated in contrary to crappy kebab houses, El Turco represents the real Turkish experience in Brussels with a very friendly staff. As a Turkish, I often bring my colleagues for lunch here and I am leaving this resto everytime proudly.
