Le Phare du Kanaal — Restaurant in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean - Sint-Jans-Molenbeek

Chose this place for my lunch, seeing good reviews. I was very disappointed, the only thing I could choose here for lunch was soup. As a drink I took iced matcha. It was brought fast and the matcha was nice, so nothing bad here. However soup was very watery with big clumps of something, I guess it was supposed to be cream soup but was not mixed properly. Was served with bread, so the only thing makes you less hungry was bread but come on. You don't come to a cafe for lunch to eat just bread. Adding photos. Spent 13,5€, left hungry and dissapointed. Had to go for another lunch. P.S. changed it to 1 star. As from my bank account they took 13.5€, but on the check they gave me it is 12.5€. Feels...

Friendly service.

I really liked the hot chocolate. I wasn't a big fan of the homemade ice tea, but maybe that's on me because I have been trying many homemade ice teas at places all over and I've actually never liked any; I should order something else 😅

The food was great! I really liked the grilled cheese, the potatoes and bacon, and the fregola. The pancakes could have used something extra as I found them a bit lackluster.

The price is reasonable.

You get a small flag with your name on it, which I thought was funny.

I'll definitely be coming back.

We had to sit outside, so the recommendation of other people to make a reservation during the weekend should be...

Le Phare is a special place and my personal favorite co-working-cafe. What makes this place special - the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the super-friendly owners & team, the industrial yet cozy design, as well as the delicious culinary creations that come out of the kitchen! Whether you're looking for a nice place to have lunch, apero after work or a place to co-work amongst down-to earth, friendly, driven people - this is it. And when there's sun outside, you can enjoy beautiful sunlight in all the areas. Bonus: Great events on regular basis for all the co-working members ( called "sailors"). I'm proud to be one of the very first sailors...
