    We just love Brussels Bistro on Forest Avenue down in Laguna Beach... and it's especially great for special occasions! For three years in a row now, we have celebrated our long-time friend Carla's birthday in this charming lower level eatery... and it never disappoints! THANKS Brussels Bistro!

    We love the vibe and the food at this place. The chefs selections and menu, wine and cocktail list are all terrific. They were very busy on a Saturday night so we can only attribute the slow service to that, certainly not a lack of care. Great care is taken with every element of the food and atmosphere. We plan to return again and again. Everything we ate was wonderful, perfectly seasoned and tasty. Favorites: mushroom soup, trout almandine, pork osso buco- loved every bite!
