Kitchen 151 • Middle East restaurant catering & event — Restaurant in Ixelles - Elsene

My friend and I were looking for a restaurant that would interest us mainly because of its originality and something unusual. I found the profile of chef Simona on Instagram, who also published her cookbooks and her books look beautiful. That's why we decided to go to this place.

I work in the European Parliament, so it was ideal for me that the restaurant is only 10 minutes' walk from the EP. The place is really original, everything was clean, unique and there was a very good atmosphere.

The restaurant was full around 9 o'clock in the evening, which means that the food is really good and that the restaurant is famous here.

We had cheese balls and chilli marmalade as a starter and then eggplant with pomegranate, olive oil and hummus. As a main course we had meat with tomatoes with pita bread, I'm sorry but I don't remember the exact names anymore. And since I'm a really big sweet lover, we had one dessert and it was almond cookies with homemade jam - the chef brought us 3 different kinds: Pear with tea leaves, fig and plum with lavender. You could really see that they made sure that everything was made from first-class ingredients and, above all, homemade, because you can see that everyone is there because they enjoy their work. We were served by two very pleasant ladies, to whom I am very grateful for this review. Unfortunately, I don't speak French and sometimes it's hard to find a restaurant in Brussels because of that, but here at KITCHEN151 everyone speaks English, so if you're a tourist, definitely visit this kitchen. I recommend this restaurant 10/10, definitely worth a visit, you won't regret it.

Thank you once again and I wish you success in...

I am usually not writing these kind of reviews, but this situation is absolutely unacceptable. We were planning a bachelorette party for our friend. It should have been a cooking workshop with Chef Simone. Two weeks in advance, she asked for a date change from the 12th to 13th of October, because she forgot she has an important family dinner invitation. We changed it to the 13th, although a friend of ours could not join on that date. Just to get another message a week in advance that she can’t do it on the 13th either and that the only days she can’t propose are the following working days before the weekend of the wedding. When I told her that this is unacceptable cancelling on us two times last minute and the only things she proposes are working days alternatives, she kept interrupting me argumenting it with human mistake and that I should not lecture her. When I told her that it is not serious and it looks like kindergarten the fact that she cancels 2 times on us, she told me that I am degrading at the level of not understanding her personal issues. When I told her that if the only thing that she proposes is another working day, I will have to write a bad review, to what she told me that I should not threaten her. I found this behaviour highly unprofessional. We are all humans and the human mistakes happen. But two times with the same issue, hiding behind personal problems and not offering anything in exchange other than a working day option. Asking for a deposit as a guarantee for yourself, however it does not qualify as a guarantee for the client. Would not recommend to...
