Brasserie Du Lac — Restaurant in Rixensart

This is a belated review which I felt compelled to write because of the outstanding Belgian, French seafood I ate there back in 2016.

I dined here on a Tuesday evening 6:30pm, having made a reservation at noon. For a Tuesday, this places is really busy after 7:30pm, really busy. If you want the full attention of the wait staff, it's better to dine here as soon as they open 6:00pm.

I ordered med-style octopus and sea snails for starters. Both were really good but portions aren't that good. For main course, I had salmon tartare and traditional Belgian grey shrimp and tomatoes which was really awesome. I've had similar dishes around France and this is by far the best. My friend had salmon linguini and the portion of the pasta was overwhelming. It tastes great.

Drinks, especially fresh fruit juices were priced high, €6.50 per small glass. Dessert prices and other non-alcoholic drinks were reasonably priced.

Dine here if you really want to enjoy Belgian, French seafood. It's all about the seafood here. Would I dine here again? Hell yeah! One of the best seafood I've had in an inland restaurant in Belgium. I don't really mind if the wait service isn't attentive, or some put it, impolite. So long as the food is good, that's what...

We went there three times over three days. Twice for dinner and once for apperitivo.

We can certainly acknowledge some minor mishaps for service (e.g. forgotten order), but nothing that would make this restaurant a no go as some reviewers suggest.

The quality of the produce, and the execution in the kitchen, is without reproach. Flavorful and savoury.

The menu and the wine list are relatively short, but clearly the owners are working on their strength. Expect seafood items prepared with with French beurre noisette or even better, a cabillaud with mousseline sauce that is just perfectly served in a brasserie style.

We are all thumbs up for this restaurant. And once the staff starts to recognize you, service is friendly and...

Very,very dissatisfied,for a restaurant that claims to have a Michelin star, the food was not special, my girlfriend ordered croquettes de crevettes and i had to share my food with her since they gave her 2 small croquettes(for 19 €) ,as staff we waited for 20-30 minutes or more in total to just be noticed ,the guy at the entry in a blue suit had a disgusted face welcoming the clients ,no respect in the manner he spoke ,we went inside and all the free tables were dirty, and keep in mind the place wasnt that busy for the many waiters they have,overall bad experience,they are lucky with the view ,definitely overpriced and not worth checking out, couldnt regret more going to the...
