My sister had One night in Brussels and loved it, I had fried chicken & fries and it was DELICIOUS. Huge portion, super flavourful and fresh. No one else was in the restaurant when we came in (or the whole time we dined) which was shocking. Staff was great, attentive and helpful. THE place to go for brunch or lunch with your pals.

We ordered the champagne pancakes and waffles and chicken. Pancake presentation was amazing but beware it is a very large portion I would order it for two and share. Partner ordered waffle and pancakes he is a hard one to please but he ate it. Overall food was good, interior was super cute, patio small and cute.

It had been on my list for a while to go to, and then once I saw the good reviews on the Find Me Gluten Free app I knew I had to come! THEY HAD GLUTEN FREE FRIED CHICKEN. 😍 The owner is celiac & they have great awareness of it. Our server was very knowledgeable about it as well. Meal was excellent & the vibe is super cute. Will be back. 🙂
