It's a small restaurant which could accommodate about 20 people. I found the many courses (many amuse bouche, a few in between courses/desserts) are quite interesting which enhanced the dining experience (of course unless you are in a hurry, then shouldn't even come for dinner). I read that the dishes here were supposed to be very creative, but I honestly... More

After a mediocre champagne for aperitif, we decided to have two “small” menu (5 serving on paper, many more if one counts the never ending series of amuse bouches – some of them good, but not very “amusing” after the third, though). It started well, with an interesting combination of scallop carpaccio and cottage cheese (or something similar with a... More

Firstly, the restaurant itself is really nice. It is a small room with max. 8-10 tables. It is nicely decorated with paintings and other artwork. Very classy. Then, the cuisine is of very high level. It is a perfect balance of savours & texture, the cooking is excellent and everything is nicely served. At the end of meal, the chef... More

Excellent lunch in quite a compact restaurant, excellent service and tasty innovative cuisine with reasonable portion sizes. One slightly negative critic would be the location, except for the draw of this restaurant I would definitely not wish to go to the zone again.

Smallish restaurant (25 people can fit) so it's better to book in advance. nice wine selection, with wines from different countries and at various prices. 2 set menus in the evening. Prices are on the high side (not over expensive for this kinf of cuisine though !), but food is definitely very tasty and the chef is nicely mixing flavours.... More

Enjoyed an interesting meal here.Very enthusiastic talented chef.One fixed price menu with choice of fish or meat for main course.Very long evening.Began at 7.30 and left before coffee at 11.45.Lots of small courses.Very El Buli influenced.Booked on Top Table and they claimed they didn't take bookings from them-almost a disaster for us!

Alexandre is the best possible choice in Brussels: even better than Comme Chez Soit which is just a few meters awayCooking and elaboration of dishes is close to perfection. The place has room for only around 25 guests so it needs to be booked several weeks before. prices are high but the experience worth them..

Good luck to make a reservation in this 5-days of the week working restaurant ( restaurant closed during the w-e). After so many expectations, the food is ok, too many dishes that do not give you the time to remember them. Meat better than fish. Good wine selection. Overrated ( 140E/ person)!!!
