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

Fresh and delicious seafood at a reasonable price. The service was ok. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good by the time I visited Brussels. So it was a bit hard for me to stand and eat in the open-air stall.

Chaotic but fantastic. Once you've figured out how on earth to get served the food and atmosphere are superb. Excellent and not too touristy.

We've read enough reviews about this place and decided we must really go there! We've ordered fish soup, scampi, scallop, fried calamari, shrimp croquette and a shell dish that i couldn't recall the name. The seafood are really fresh and reasonably priced. As this is not exactly a restaurants. You would have to either stand at the counter to eat,... More
