133 Chez Adrien — Restaurant in Saint-Gilles - Sint-Gillis

Vegans be aware!

I debated whether to write this, but I’m still quite upset about how we were treated here, so I will briefly describe what happened. I find such behavior from a restaurant to be absolutely unacceptable.

We dined here in March. My friend and I both ordered pasta dishes, and I was very happy to see that there were dishes labeled as vegan. Since I haven’t consumed fish or meat products for over a decade this suited me perfectly. The dishes often had two options: the non-vegan and the vegan version.

The pasta I chose had anchovies in the non-vegan option. When my dish arrived, I very quickly noticed a very strong fishy taste and then found a piece of fish in my food. It’s worth mentioning that, due to the language barrier, we had used Google to double-check, and I even went back to the server after ordering to make sure I had indeed ordered the vegan version.

When I discovered the fish, I immediately reported it, and after some back and forth, I was basically told: "It’s just a piece of fish" — what?! When I said that I didn’t want to eat even a single piece of fish, my dish was taken away. I didn’t want to order anything else, as I found it very rude.

The worst part, though, was at the end, when the owner (?) made us pay 5 euros for the dish. I mean mistakes can happen but he initially wanted us to pay the full price, and when we refused, he insisted on 5 euros. For serving me something I didn’t order! Imagine if I had been allergic. Absolute disgrace! Such a disastrous service....

This is a real local cuisine restaurant, trust me. Cozy and comfortable atmospheres are in here, and many local people visit here, and they enjoy their foods.

I ordered 3 basic things, which are cheeze entry with bread, tomato-based spaghetti, and tiramisu. The entry dish's smell is quite strong, but well-combinated with white bread.

The tomato spaghetti is normal, but not too strong flavor. It was quite enjoyable for everyone, I guess. The disert so well made product. This is...

Manager was really welcoming, people there felt very community. The place is pretty and warm. We ordered the bruschetta that was very fresh, the cheese was nicely intense. Then we ordered a Carbonara that was amazing. The salsa was delicious, perfect pepper, it was a good surprise.

We ended up with an excellent panacotta. He recommended us a local beer L’Annexe, which factory was a 100mts from the restaurant. We’ll sure come back in our next...
