Le Jardin de Nicolas — Restaurant in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre - Sint-Pieters-Woluwe

The Garden of Nicolas stands as an establishment of most distinguished charm, where one may delight in a fine drink or share a meal upon the terrace, amidst an atmosphere of grace and leisurely refinement. The absence of any need for reservation lends the place a singular allure, inviting spontaneous escapades and moments of unhurried pleasure.

The house honours its guests with a generous and varied menu: delicacies of noble character such as aged cheeses, delicately marinated olives, and artisanal cured meats sit side by side with sumptuous assortments. Among these, The Nicolas Platter deserves particular mention, featuring parmesan fritters, Parma ham, and tender fried calamari — a true feast for the most discerning palates.

Gourmets will also find great satisfaction in the selection of pastas: spaghetti bolognese, carbonara, baked macaroni, and truffle ravioli, all prepared with care and finesse. Each dish offers genuine pleasure, though some — priced around eighteen euros — may seem slightly elevated for the more traditional recipes. The truffle ravioli, however, present themselves as a delicate indulgence, their cost fully justified by the excellence of their ingredients.

In a gracious gesture, the establishment extends its attention to younger guests, offering a baby spaghetti bolognese for twelve euros — a thoughtful touch that families will surely appreciate.

For those who wish merely to enjoy a drink and the passing of time, the place exudes exquisite charm. The terrace, bathed in light and overlooking the majestic Cinquantenaire Park, serves as a perfect setting for an aperitif among friends. As the sun sets and the sky adorns itself with golden hues, a gentle warmth emanates from the terrace heaters in mid-season, enveloping the guests in delightful comfort. The staff, courteous and attentive, add the final flourish to this...

Good for what it is: a nice place with lots of conviviality and the necessary grain of salt of pretentiousness...open practically all day long with a good enough menu and almost reasonable prices ...sunsets offer it a golden aura... especially if, weather permitting, U are sitting outside, on the covered terrace or in the tiny but luxurious tropical garden ...the youthful (but not necessarily young) public is buzzing continuously...staff as good as the rest... parking in the area not that difficult (with a bit of inventiveness, inquisitiveness and luck)... enjoy the place but don't expect the culinary experience of your life...for late hours they have also a very promising bar space upstairs but it has not become (yet?) the highlight of the local nightlife despite its...

Mixed experience. On a positive note, I liked the cocktail! It has to be one of the best I've tried. The steak tartare "American" was good, but the mayonnaise tasted industrial. Food is okay. The menu is very similar to what I've seen at other Brasseries and restaurants.

The service was okay. Twice in a row, I saw food sat on the counter for 5 minutes, waiting to be served. One of the waiters was doing most of the work, almost multi-tasking (two things at the same time), whilst the other waiter at the bar didn't bother serving me the dish and drink that was sat at the counter for 5 minutes.

The ambience has to be one of the best, especially given the area/location.

I recommend this place if you are meeting up with friends, where you will be talking for most...
