We've been eating here twice, vegetarian and fish. The food was ok, but not special or surprising, certainly not better then at home (offcourse this is subjective and depends the home cook). The staff was correct, but nothing extra. First time, 2010 was better. Brussels Lof has the name of being the best vegi restaurant in Groningen, hope they keep... More

This is a nice 'cosey' fish restaurant. Approx 12 tables so need to book in advance. Manu is not extensive but choices between fish, shell fish and vegi. Ambience was very nice, and food was good.

Stasrted was quite good, but the main course was tastless, also the vegetables were undercooked, al dente to the extreme, just like eating warm raw vegetables.

Usually, I don’t write reviews of restaurants. I believe, that culinary likes are subjective, and vary widely between cultures and tastes. But in this case, I was compelled to write something. Was our first visit, as my girlfriend recommended the place, after reading the good reviews. We were greeted by attentive and polite staff, and seated at a good table.... More

Resto near good pubs of Groningen. Fully booked on a saturday night - with rather "silent" clients. This is Groningen..... not the Den bosch, Breda, Maastricht or or Antwerpen. A place like this usually buzzes with chat and laughter and tinkling glasses. No music whatsoever in the back. Food OK - bit pricy - cook (and owner) friendly and commuicative... More

For those who need to have their meet, obviously this is not your restaurant, but if you like fish and vegetarian this is a great pleace to be when you're in Groningen. I often find the level of service in the dutch restaurants a bit too laid back, but here all was thought of. I thought the service was excellent... More

On Tuesday, Friday and Saturday there is a market in Gronigen, with wonderful fish stalls. We had oohed and aahed over them that afternoon, so were delighted when taken to the Brussels Lof for dinner. Dog wasn't the only spaniel there that night and the other seemed to be a regular. We had a tight schedule but the staff got... More

This lovely restaurant is situated on a quiet street about two blocks from the historic administration building of the University of Groningen. It specializes in vegetarian and seafood meals. Bouillabaisse Is on the menu only as an appetizer. However, I was able to order it as the main course. I also had a glass of red wine, French Maison Virginie.... More

Brussels lof is my favorite restaurant in groningen. I have been there 3times so far. Me and my husband like to keep it for special occasions. What i love about it is the good quality of food combined with a 'gezellig' atmosphere. They only serve fish and vegeterian food, so dont go there if u dont like seafood, beacuse this... More
