I recently visited Coincoin in Brussels with my boyfriend. We are both pescatarians and had a disappointing experience. The menu was in French, which we are of course fine with living in Brussels, but we did not understand some of the things in the menu.

Oh, it's just drinks, and if we ordered something to eat, we would have to wait another hour or...
