The best place for anyone with a refined pallet tired of paying exorbitant prices and feeling hungry thirty minutes after dinner. With an ever changing menu written in chalk on the wall, Fin de Siecle is what a Belgian restaurant should be, lively yet quaint with plenty of great beer and stoemp. I would suggest a Leffe Blonde with your... More

Went here for dinner and absolutely loved the atmosphere of the restaurant - lively but cosy in a small, cafe-esque space. The food was okay - a bit overpriced for the quality (rabbit was dry, veggies a bit overcooked with little flavor, but sausage was nice, with excellent gravy) - if I could order again I'd go with the basic...

Our b&b owner recommended this place and we were so excited when it was crowded. We sit down and wait and wait and wait. After 20 some minutes of bad jokes regarding their poor service to foreigners not comparing to southern France, our waiter appears. He asks us what we want and we say menus. He says "board in back"... More

We have fallen in love with Brussels and find this charming town to be a place that we plan to keep coming back to visit. In fact, we have been here three times in the past year. And each time we return, we swear we will new restaurants. It’s not that we don’t like the places we’ve been to before... More

On a recent business trip to Brussels, I suggested Le Fin de Siecle to my husband and 21 yr old son. There was a long line out the door so my son went in to ask about the wait. It was roughly 30 minutes, and as my son was very hungry, we were pleasantly surprised when he told us to... More

Fabulous find! The host (possibly owner) was the best and soooo organised. Simple and fresh menu. Not so great for the veggies out there but that's not surprise. You can tell how good this place is because it's full of locals & people are still queuing at 10pm for a table. We queued about 20mins and totally worth it. The... More

After reading the reviews on here, I really wanted to try this place, so we thought we'd chance our arm on a Tuesday evening. The place was heaving, but as luck would have it (and perhaps thanks to our attempts at French), we got a table immediately. This is an amazing little restaurant that is lacking in nothing except pretension.... More

After a few nights of turning up to Brussels restaurants that "looked ok" and receiving bad service and average food, we decided to follow this recommendation. It is not easy to find - there is no signage out front nor any obvious mention of the name inside. Anyway, that aside, this place has a great atmosphere, friendly service and really... More

I've read the good reviews of this restaurant, so I decided to try it with my friends. We were going to order two from rabbit stew, lamb and spare ribs, but as we were deciding which two to order, we saw many people ordering Stoemp. In the end we ordered Stoemp and Spare Ribs. The Stoemp was the best Stoemp... More

It was a bit of a hunt - even with a Belgian resident in tow - but both the walk and the wait for our seats were worth it! We tried different dishes and none failed. Really heavenly cooking - the meats in particular, and with their choice of beers... Wow. Kudos to the very friendly and helpful staff; they... More
