Philema — Restaurant in Ixelles - Elsene

If you like fish , it is the place to try! I ordered the recommendations from staff and I didn't regret at all ! All was so delicious. Don't forget to have ouzo to refresh :) After dinner , Greek coffee is the best to digest :) If you like sweet, baklava is recommended. It is really nice restaurant with very kind & friendly staff .

If you are looking for a place with big portions Philema is ideal, also price compared to the amount of food they serve. As feedback, it's nice to have music but with Greek music you have to be careful as it's a type of music with high pitched ... If it's relatively high people would tend to shout inside the restaurant and its a cozy small restaurant...I like noise but maybe too much. I am sorry to give the 3 stars there at...
