What a find we found...right in front of us. This small restaurant is an absolute delight. Don't be mislead by the limited menu. We found all of the menu items outstanding. Its seemingly ordinary seasonal garden salad turned out to be a tasty work of...art. The baguette was fresh and crusty. Our mid-60's companion pronounced the large --I mean large--French dip sandwich "the best sandwich I have ever had." Perhaps the "dip," really Brabo's superb French onion soup, was partially responsible The roasted and marinated squash sandwich brought similar raves. The the classic mussels! Perfectly done in a white cream sauce, only lightly--and perfectly salted, they had a roasted lecture. Dipping the baguette into the creamy mix brought almost sinful pleasure. Service was personable and attentive without being intrusive. Brabo is a keeper!More

Decent variety on the menu (in the Belgian/French style) and everything was delicious.The night I was in (Weds.) they were doing half off small plates until 7PM. What a great deal! The lamb meatballs small plate was very good. They have a house made ginger...beer which I really enjoyed as well. I am interested in visiting again and trying the waffle. Just a note, the "tarts" section on the menu is referring to pizzas. I guess I was expecting an actual savory tart. The pizza was good though.More

I am a little girl and the dinner barely filled me up! It was more like a tapas serving. Good atmosphere, but very limited on the range of drinks.

This is a small, informal place I had the mussels in white wine and a beer. Great meal! I wish I'd found it earlier in my trip.

The wine selection is very good and the food has always been delicious. The space is intimate but open enough to feel at home. Octopus and quiche are both cooked to perfection. I’ve been coming here when I visit for years and it never disappoints....The staff is professional, attentive and polite. The bartender, Asia, is so smart and engaging. Bread pudding!More

Happy hour every day 5-7 pm with 1/2 off house wine, beer etc and the small bits/table share section of the menu. Between 3 of us we tried about everything on that part of the menu (out of the beets) and everything was fantastic. We...also tried the classic mussels and the bread pudding. Zero complaints - octopus was some of best I have had!More

When you reach 50 years of marriage every year after should be a celebration. So we decided to go to Brabo's based on reviews and the fact we were in Alexandria. We went early on a Sunday around 5PM so the restaurant was quiet and...comfortable. We had a delightful meal and a knowledgable and fu server. Unbeknownst to us it was also happy hour (even on Sunday!). We shared about 5-6 appetizers which were all delicious and then had mussels, tarts and a French dip individually. Right down to the dessert, everything was worth talking about. A good time was had by all.More
