Rubis Wine Bar — Restaurant in Saint-Gilles - Sint-Gillis

The place is nice and you feel good there. They welcome you with a smile and give you good advice. Of course, you have to like wine but you can taste something else. Mr. Patrick is warm and attentive. He advises you well. The place is quiet and it's not as difficult to find a parking space as I thought.

The tables were not cleared, there was no one serving & the selection of wine average at best. We didn't stay to actually have wine. There are too many lovely places in Saint-Gilles to waste your time...
