We came here for a drink but decided to stay for dinner as the menu looked interesting and the bar got good reviews online. It was quiet in the bar (four people in total), but the server forgot our drinks, our cutlery and got our...food order wrong. I ordered the mussels but as soon as I took the lid off it was clear they were very burnt. There was no liquid at all and there were a lot of mussels stuck to the bottom. We'd already had to wait for my partner's food to be changed so I didn't want to have to wait again for a replacement. We did get the money back for the mussels and were offered some free drinks, but after so many mistakes we just wanted to leave. A real shame.More

Lovely place, away from the centre by a little, and serving tasty food. I loved the pork and all washed down with some good Belgian beers.

Good spareribs, with salad and French fries.. good prices and cozy/ bar atmosphere. In the city of Haarlem, not really easy to find.. but around 3min walk from the big square (Grote Markt)..

The restaurant is on a hidden street and it is one of the most cozy-relaxed atmosphere restaurant with fantastic lamb pesto and heavenly sticky toffee. The beer on tap is Belgian and thus just perfect. We got a seat by the window and had a...wonderful night. We leave you with a photo of empty glass because it was too good to be photographed.More

After reading a few reviews I was convinced this was the place for a good affordable feed, and I was 100% correct! Tucked away down, this unsuspecting place is worth its weight in gold, plenty of locals and travellers alike enjoying the good food and...awesome vibe of this place. My brother and I were able to eat good food and drink beer, and still come within our tight backpacking budget. Give this place a visit if you are nearby!More

We must have liked it. We went every night for three nights. We had swordfish once, and otherwise sliptongs, delicious, sweet baby dover soles meuniere, with chips/ vegetables/ salad. After drinking either at Uiltje or Jopenkerk, there wasn't much of a choice for late night...eateries, so this was a good amenity. The beer selection was a bit of a disappointment after those other two great places, but the staff at Bruxelles were friendly, the prices were keen, the sliptongs were ace (why can't we have them in the UK?) and we got Chupa Chup lollies after every visit. We still have all six.More

I read the reviews here, and decided we should try them out. We enjoyed the food, and service so much, we went back a second time. At the first visit, we had steak, fish, lamb, and ribs. My 17year old kept raving about the ribs,...and was nice enough to let us try them. This brought about visit #2, when we all had the ribs. The restaurant is tucked away, and definitely worth finding.More

The place is super cozy. They serve delicious food and maybe even more delicious beer! Beers are from the tap!!! And most of them come from Belgium.

We decided to go here after reading the TripAdvisor reviews. We had been in Haarlem for ten days and only just discovered this place in our last few days! As soon as we went in we got a really warm welcome and were shown to...a fantastic table in the window. The waitress was very helpful, providing us with useful translations! The beer was great and the food was absolutely fantastic. I ordered the fish of the day, my one son had a kids meal, the other had ribs and my husband had pork. We had puddings too and they were superb. We've eaten out in Amsterdam, Germany, zolendam, Giethoorn, Belgium, Haarlem and Zandvoort while we have been here and this was definitely the best meal we have had. The service was great and the music was perfect. Really like the decor and the ambiance. We were later served by a gentleman, who was also really helpful and kind. We found the whole experience really enjoyable. Thank you Bruxelles! 😊More

Had the rack of lamb and the fish of the day finished with ice cream and coffee. Both were cooked to perfection and tasted great. We would gladly go back again.
