Le Marmiton

The food at this place was absolutely amazing. If you want authentic Belgian food, this is the place to go! Definitely make a reservation though, maybe a few weeks ahead of time. This place fills up quick. I was able to “squeeze in” by stopping by exactly when they opened for dinner and was lucky to be seated.

Had a fantastic time today at La Marmiton. Our waiter Raphael was more than helpful and amicable. He helped us in seating during this busy time in Brussels although we didn’t have a reservation. The food was superb. I will definitely come back when visiting Brussels. Highly recommended to all Brussels visitors.

We got lucky to get a table for 2 during a very busy evening without a reservation.
The food was soooo yummy!
And the staff was impeccable!
They are so friendly, sincere, and accommodating.
I would definitely recommend eating here!
But don't test your luck, make a reservation because I don't want you to miss out!!

Do book before coming here, they are usually full house! Service was great and we particularly liked the hare, mussels, foie gras and the grey shrimp croquettes! Highly recommend when you are here at Brussels

Tried to book online a day before and it shows fully booked for 2weeks, so we decided to try our luck and went to the restaurant in person
Luckily, we got a table
We ordered one carpaccio beef to share as starter.
We got 2 separate plates so we thought the waiter misunderstood and put in 2 starters but we were only charged for one starter at the end, so turns out the chef separated it for us! It was a great surprise and the portion is large if that's one portion!
I had mussels for the main, ordered the spicy one but it wasn't spicy, turns out it was mussels with white wine, so can't comment on the spicy soup hahah
The carbonnade was good too and the chips were crispy and very flavorful
Had apple pie to finish and it was tasty 😋

Chic restaurant in the heart of Brussels at the Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries. The place was bustling, and we were lucky enough to snag the last table. Making a reservation is highly recommended, as we witnessed many being turned away.

The food was outstanding! The grey shrimp croquettes were crispy and warm, the mussels were plump and juicy in a delicious broth, and the beef carbonnade melted in the mouth with tenderness and was engulfed in a rich, tasty gravy. While not cheap, the quality and exceptional taste of the food justified the price.

However, the service fell short: they forgot to bring serviettes, wet wipes for the mussels, and even bread upon request. Overall, the evening felt a bit rushed and hectic, as if they were eager to turn tables quickly.

Everyone was so lovely to me the tourist. And the other reviews are right - these are the BEST MOULES FRITE (MUSSELS AND FRIES) IN BRUSSELS. other places are not as flavorful or plentiful or food service wise. Yes it's a nicer restaurant but it's the real thing and it's worth the price. I got the spicy house moules frites and they were one of the best things I ever ate. And I eat a lot, everywhere! Go here if craving the best. Look at the menu before you get there too because they also have some fun tasting menus as reasonable prices. Lastly the drinks were cheap overall, Yay! Enjoy the food and view and service. 10/10
