We went to this seafood counter on Saturday at around 11-ish 12 for an early lunch. There were already quite a lot of people crowding at the counter at this time but we managed to get a standing spot quite near to the grill. There are no seats so the meal is taken at one of the standing tables littered... More

One of the excellent places for a quick stop for fresh sea food tasting and aperitif. A tuna grilled steak is a most. It is not that economic but worth the try.. Enjoy

It is all about the seafood at this wonderful little find. The seafood is always cooked perfectly and so fresh its like it jump right out of the sea onto your plate. Was in Brussels for a few days and visited this place twice. If you love seafood go here

I encountered this restaurant when I was looking for another restaurant. Smelled the food from across street, so I decided to dine in here instead. Apparently I made a correct choice. The prawn was absolutely fantastic. Their famous soup was top-notch. It tasted so good with the bread and cheese. Champagne was reasonably priced. Overall a memorable experience.

Great fishstore and exquisite small dishes from fishsoup, croquettes crevettes to tuna etc... Always fresh from the counter. Accompanied with good wine or Champagne. Sometimes overcrowded, but it ads to the atmoshpere of a small fish (gold)mine.

This is a bustling place at 2pm. Hundreds gather around a large counter to order. Kinda disorganized as there is no line - you just try to find someone behind the counter to order. It took me ten minutes but the server was pleasant, helpful and understood English. The menu is small and posted. I ordered the most expensive item... More

On one cold day in March, my husband and I took a day trip to Brussel during our 9-day trip to Paris. It was cold, but sun was out, beautiful day (warm day for people in Brussel they said). The place is located at the corner in front of St. Katelijne-plein, standing only, no seating, but It was worth. It... More
