tl;dr classics are classic for a reason. the potato was to die for, and the lamb & sauce incredible. martini on point too.

Amazing find in the middle of Brussels with a local feel & good attention to detail on food, service, and atmosphere. The lamb & portions amazing, as was the lobster bisque and the espresso martini.

The restaurant is warm & cozy inside, with an intimate and modern feeling that puts the focus on the food & conversation in front of you. We’re here for the meal and company, that in of itself is the ultimate show.

Service was also amazing, considerate & understanding. While a typical Belgian pre-summer takes most diners indoors, I had some work calls coming in and asked to sit outdoors even if a bit cooler & risk of rain so I wouldn’t upset other customers, and the staff were kind & accommodating with that request.

My only concern, and I think this is more me, the crème brûlée is meant to be shared and is a bit much for one. It could also be a little bit more firm but this may be down to my tastes/opinions. Plenty of vanilla bean, good firm crunch on the top, taste was on point, and if i had my partner dining with me, then we certainly would have devoured it whole. Suggestion - call out on the menu if it’s meant to be shared, then a patron can make the call or try many of the other delectable desserts you had on offer.

Would certainly eat here again, looking forward to both new twists on the classics, with Lola putting their stamp on things.
