Nice restaurant, nice pizza, nice service and nice location with a little terrace outside, BUT (and is a sad BUT in this review), there is a horrible wannabe musician hired to animate the weekend nights.
Terribly close to costumers’ tables so much that his cello played with bow in high pitch tone is disturbing up to the point of being impossible to chat and even becoming painful to ears after a while. All tables around seemed disturbed but that didn’t seem to be a surprise to the staff.
For some unclear reason this self-taught cello student was not chased away or re-located to a less painful location within the restaurant terrace, even when we complained to the owner/manager, so, unfortunately, as the cello was emanating horrible sounds literally less than a meter from our table, we had to interrupt our dinner to pay and leave. Kitchen staff even joked when I went in to pay in a rush to just leave.
The repertoire goes from unrecognizable sad depressive pieces played imprecisely with bow, to 1st year music exercises, to careless random pizzicato notes.
On my way out I joked that he should play Mozart, Beethoven or Vivaldi instead but he didn't have sense of humor and didn't get it.
Nice nearby restaurant but we will never go again while this musician is there creating sad and loud musical ambience.
Good luck for his...
Read morePopped in an attempt to find a good quality (take-out) pizza after a day's meetings - what a wonderful place. Keen, helpful staff and an excellent Margherita pizza. A bonus was to be able to sit out on a simple cafe table in front of the restaurant with a cold beer watching the world go by in this lovely traditional 'local' Brussels neighbourhood
A further visit in November 2024.... I have now visited this pizza restaurant several times on my visits to Brussels, it never fails to please! Staff always helpful and good humoured, and the pizzas are a delight and very good value. It is only a tiny place, probably with 14 or so places to sit inside, but when I visited in the summer, there are plenty of outdoor tables and chairs where you can enjoy a pizza, a beer, and watch the life of Brussels pass you by. I look forward to...

I made my birthday dinner here because they have vegan options. The owner was grumpy all the time and not helpful at all. There is no atm so when it was time to pay, he tried to persuade me to go to my friends one by one (we were 14) and get the money from them. I told him this was impossibe so he answered: "ok, so if I have no change for everyone, people wont get their change". In the end, he tried to persuade me there was like 30 euros left to pay (basically, he tried to rob me"), while saying "this is what you get for paying one by one". My friends told him this wasn't true so we didn't pay him the 30 euros. But it was a terrible moment. As if this wasn't enough, I discovered that he had been stalking a friend of mine on Facebook....
