Wandering through Brussels we stopped here just for a coffee in the afternoon. Should have known just to leave when they required us to sit in particular seats because we were only having drinks. Service was rude, and drinks were unimpressive, not to mention overpriced. The MOST RIDICULOUS part is that they have a bathroom attendant who requires you to... More

Yes, the area is a bit touristy, but that doesnt justify serving disgusting overcooked burgers served with frozen fries. Service sucks. Waste of money. Dont go there.

Cafe Leffe provides a nice spot to dine al fresco with a view of Notre Dame du Sablon. The cafe's specialty is mussels (and how can you pass up mussels in Brussels?), which I ordered with a beer. The portion of mussels was generous and the quality was good. It came with a side of french fries. I would agree... More

We stopped off here for a few beers before going further into town. The service is typically Belgian. You'll get served if and when it suits them! Didn't eat any food so can't comment on that but they had a good selection of beers. Pleasant enough but only really a stop-off pub. Don't make this your main destination.

Decided to have lunch at this restaurant and the sausage and mash was cold, our salad had prawns the size of rice grains and the service was slow and forgetful (asked for water that never came, we had to ask twice for coffee which was terrible and also cold). Extremely poor value for money... but I guess you pay for... More

Where to start... As soon as we arrived we were made to feel a nuisance to them, they were arrogant, rude and unhelpful. My friend asked for a straw with her coke, but then asked the waiter politely for another one as the first was dirty. From then on they went out of their way to be rude. After ordering... More

We wanted to have drinks in the Sablon area and went inside as it looked cozy. It took the staff a good 15 minutes to take our order (and only because we waved someone down) and the waiter looked at us as if we were totally bothering him by existing. We first only ordered drinks, then decided to have a... More

Don't go there!!!! Very expensive and bad service!!! They should shame themselves to wear the name Leffe. I even wrote the brewery and advised them to take their name of the walls!!!

We stopped here for a dink a couple of times, and I have o say we found the service to be ok. However I could see how some may not, it seems a bit hit and miss. There's plenty of staff but not all are customer focused. The cafe itself is quite modern and well laid out. We didn't eat,... More

Another of my one-man dining experiences. On business in Brussels. It was mid-evening and I needed to eat SOMEthing, so I stopped in at this place. From the outside it looks like a traditional brasserie, but inside the decor is surprisingly modern. Second thing I noticed was that everyone was talking English - ie: this is a place where tourists... More
