PANAM KEBAB Fernand Cocq — Restaurant in Ixelles - Elsene

A social media product . I m well willing to pay 12 euros for a kebab even if it 's a strange revisitation of a Berliner kebab but: chicken (why?) .poor meat quality , quite dry and had that typical white foamy collagen that comes out from large-distribuition-factories meat when you cook it. And ,the spices come from a cheap supermarket (yes , spice quality is important).

Onions. They were good. But red pickles are made with red onions,otherwise they are pale.

halloumi. Great , well cooked and good taste .

veggies. A disgrace. Apparently you don't know how to cook an aubergine? Season a salade? Cut and marinate a cucumber ?. A sad view . Even if it's a snack, take care of your veggies guys.

-bread. Personal taste ? Well I don t like a brioche with a marinated chicken and feta cheese, but I can understand some people liking it. It s a flour pillow. With no taste. Really not important if it s made by Renard or Ladurée if it's bland.

packaging . That' s the best thing about the place. Branding is really cool , nice napkins and placemats (wow) .Ambiance trés a la mode that makes people come to the door like grasshoppers ,kudos to social media manager and marketing campaign.

Not the worst kebab in my life. But there s plenty of Anderlecht and Molenbeek kebab shops with some great chefs that could and would definitely learn you guys a few tricks . For half the price . And being less pretentious. But hey, you're in...

I had high expectations for this place. The reviews are good and their branding even better. Going with high expectations can of course always be a curse and this place sadly didn’t live up to its reputation.

First off, the most important: the food. We had two chicken kebabs and one chicken plate. In general I liked my kebab. It was filling and ingredients seemed fresh. The bread and sauce was the best part. I was however more lucky than my friend who found several bigger pieces of bone in her kebab and barely got any sauce.

It is clear that different people make the food and that they lack a standard for how to both present and assemble their dishes.

The biggest problem with this place is however the service. The girls behind the counter are both rude and unpleasant. They seem rather annoyed that you want to order food and were too busy with taking pictures of each other then to say goodbye when we left.

Interior is cool, clean and trendy. Plus for that!

Overall I would say that the food is decent and that the place itself is nice, but the service definitely is on the more unfriendly side (even for being Brussels). I recommend to...

Let's be honest, kebab in Brussels is generally not good. So, when I heard a different kind of kebab place was being opened in Brussels, I had to try it. They sell it as high-end Berlin-like Gemüsekebab, it's pricy - contrary to Germany - and indeed it's a different experience. However, it doesn't live up to expectations despite the nice atmosphere and aesthetics: the bread itself is very good, but the rest including sauce, meat and fries are disappointing. Truth is, nine times out of ten I would still go to a less authentic Brussels kebab stand than here, because the concept of gourmet kebab does not resonate with the purpose of kebab itself: filling your belly fast and cheap with its unforgettable taste. On the plus side, service was kind (but so it is elsewhere) and they gave us a cute sticker. The search for an authentic Döner experience in Brussels still continues, I will stick to pitta or poulet maison in...
