very authentic, tasty, good service, food of best quality, excellent location but not easy to find. hope to come back again once

We arrived to find that our table was taken by a smaller group. The maître d made us wait outside in the cold, pretending to be hurrying the unwanted guests to finish their starter before moving them to another table (poor them!). All the while,...no apologies, no offer of a drink on the house... We have come to expect this kind of detestable, unprofessional service wherever we go in Brussels. You could call it a trademark! We left after the waiter lost his cool after we complained. No more Ogenblik for me, thank you.More

Traditional food in Brussels downtown. Cosy place with traditional furniture. All meals are prepared daily with wide wine selection. Menu is only French. However, it’s worth to try.

Restaurant in the heart of Brussels that serves authentic Belgian cuisine. You'll feel a very jovial and welcoming vibe when eating here. Love the old fashioned atmosphere of this place. My friend and I loved the food and the friendly waiters. The carpaccio of scallops...was outstanding and the steamed cod with spinach lovely. We were seated quite close to the kitchen, which wasn't ideal, because of the coming and going of the waiters. I would ask for a different table when visiting again.More

Loved everything about this place. A friend recommended it and we gave it a try. It was crowded at lunchtime and we were lucky to be squeezed in, I think. Waiter Luis recommended the Norwegian skrei and it was every bit as good as he...promised. We only had three days in Brussels, so we only managed to get back one more time for lunch. I would return to Brussels just to eat at L'Ogenblik. The place has great ambiance and charm and the very busy staff are helpful and delightful.More

We came upon the restaurant by walking around the very chic galerie and were lucky to get a table on a Saturday night. We absolutely loved the food and there is a great choice of wines.

Ogenblik is always deliveries sizable portions. Streamed cod was well cooked but they should serve the sauce apart. The place is brasserie style. It gets crowded as the place is small. Some wear and tear is obvious in this place. Service friendly and at times...attentive.More

An excellent brasserie located in the Galerie des Princes. It is an authentic Belgian atmosphere with a very careful decoration. Exquisite and high quality food. The price matches the quality offered and the service is professional and friendly. Highly recommended to book in advance.

In an age where we cannot escape sameness or “English translations” it is refreshing (to us) to find an unapologetically French/Belgian Restaurant that has a menu ONLY in French and which no one translates. This is a true experience of another culture in my humble...opinion. We worked out ordering items that sounded familiar. The salmon and beef were amazing! It was all about the sauces. This restaurant is worth it. Convenient (galleries shopping area) and authentic and delicious!More

An amazing place. Just be aware that getting you order through might take some time. But the wait is worth every second. Actually think it’s one of the very best places I’ve been at in Brussels. And if the waiter recommends something - take it....They know what they are doing. Clearly a place to come back to. Again. Been there three times now.More

Excellent food and good wine list. We had scallops, tomato salad, sea bass and beef stroganoff, can’t fault any of the food it was simple and really tasty. Large portion sizes too, you won’t leave hungry! We found the waiters friendly and patient as our...French is rusty. Quick service, we were done in 90 minutes. Best to reserve a table, we saw lots of walk ins get turned away on a Friday evening. The restaurant is cosy and decorated in traditional bistro style. The only slight downside is that you pay tourist prices given the location so close to the Grand Place etc. Two courses & a bottle of wine was €170. Nonetheless the product was good and would visit again.More

Let’s be clear, food is very decent and the proposals in the menu very attractive. I’m just a bit disappointed by some (important) details, such as a superb fish tartare, with very good seasoning but completely drowned in oil. People with me had similar issues:...good dishes, but you feel they could go the extra mile without much additional effort to go from good to very good.More
