Came in on a very cold night, had a good worm dinner with good beer. Had a very romantic evening.

A cozy restaurant and a nice little piece of Belgium in Houston. Food was OK, service fine but slow. Overall way overpriced for what you get.
Chris Reid
Excellent, authentic Belgian food. Peaceful, cafe type atmosphere. I never feel rushed to finish and go and the owner is a pleasant, down to Earth individual. Sometimes you'll need to be patient, but it is worth it.

Best authentic frites in Texas! Wish they were closer to home so I could have a croquette everyday! I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. My husband is Dutch and everything on the menu including the waffles are exactly as in Belgium!

Best Belgium Waffles I've had in Houston.A few years ago I got to visit Brussels and had the most amazing Belgium Waffle- that said, I've been trying to find something as authentic and delicious as I had when I went there. Finally found it (and by a happy accident!).Me and my friend ended up only getting dessert as we hadn't plan to go out for dinner. We had the Belgium Waffle and the Creme Brulee. Both were so delicious, though to me the star was the waffle. It was authentic and so similar to what I had in Belgium. The food menu looked good, much variety. Prices varied from affordable to a bit more pricy- but I think there's something for everyone. I definitely want to go back and try their food.The service was good, very chill atmosphere. It's not a trendy place at all, but it does feel warm and authentic. Would recomend giving it a try. The owner and son were very kind as were the rest of the employees that interacted with us. I'll be back!

I have noticed this small authentic cafe many times driving by. I finally had enough time to stop in for an early lunch. It was a classy relaxed atmosphere, the service was great and my lunch special dish was wonderful. My experience was great and I will definitely visit again.

Wonderful little spot.

Delicious brunch, warm and friendly service. No picture of the fries because we ate them up as soon as they hit the table!

Great place and better yet the mussels were awesome!
Mark Garcia
Packed on a Saturday night. Staff a bit slow but very polite. It's a European restaurant so you can relax. No uptight corporate vibe here. Excellent food.
Andrea Rojas
It is a nice place, very good food and very good service I recommend it.

Quirky interior. Excellent mussels. Owner serves guests every day. Lots of regulars who appreciate originality.

DELICIOUS!!! Tried La Salade Liégeoise, Les Carbonades à la Flamade, Croque Monsieur, Gaufre, Lait Russe, Belgian Hot Chocolate, Mango Nectar, and Squirt in foreign soda bottle. They brought bread and butter meanwhile waited. The service was most excellent. The decor is cozy and very welcoming.

Great little cafe. Feels like your in another country. Food was great and the Belgian beer selection was second to none.
Kelly McLean
My husband and I have been here multiple times and we love it. The croquettes are awesome and we love the chocolate mousse. Dinner is always great. Laid-back European service where they allow you enjoy your food without being pushy.
Tj Anderson
It was good and I enjoy the meal that I had, I had a Brown Sugar crepe and it was really enjoyable I will recommend it to others

I found this spot by happenstance as I was driving by. I decided to stop for breakfast. I had the Spinach Crepe with Salad. It was delicious! The ambience of this cafe is so laid back and mellow. It's quite relaxing. The staff was also so friendly. I will be returning.

We went here to try a traditional Brussels meal. We had great service, and the atmosphere was lovely. It was nice to be able to get some real European food. The owner moved from Brussels and it was such a nice feeling she could understand both french and Flemish. The food was delicious. We shared the traditional pot of mussels with onion and garlic, had real friet (the European home made fries) and a few other things. Highly recommended
Vanni Muller
The place is really nice. The waitress was a full character of her own. She was delightful! The beer I had was called a kwak. It was the most amazing drink I've had so far. It's so full and it just begs you to drink more and more. I ordered the, le boeuf. The sandwich was perfect, its like a french philly cheese stake. The flavors have so much of an impact and the frys were perfectly crispy. Dont forget to order their specialized mayonnaise, it taste like a really good butter! Overall I had a great experience in this small place. If you're their early you can catch the cafeza and maybe I'll be reading your review.
Terran Walters
Their food is really good. I had the cheese croquettes and spinach quiche meal. The house mayo is AMAZING especially with the fries and the chese are my new favorite thing. The ambiance is very relaxing. The staff is great!!! Not really a place for kids but great for lunch or dinner dates!!!

Can we say yum! Went during my #Staycation and thoroughly enjoyed brunch. Would highly recommend the three course option! Tip: More than enough to share! #MissKatMoon

Love the mussels, fries and draft Belgian beer. Fun place.
Diana Nava
A bit expensive but the beer is good and imported so I can understand.
renegadegeeK
A menu that caters to folks that love rich foods and rich, filling, old world beers from top Belgium brewers. The escargot is amazing because of how tender and large the meat is...and honestly, I always go for one of their amazing mussel pots...so savory. My wife tried their French equivalent to a chicken pot pie and it was amazing....I forget the name of the dish. Cozy, open dining room, and there is decent parking for this neighborhood...reservations not needed ...third time here and service has been consistently good...
Thomas Step
Rich and tasty food. And an awesome beer selection
Ryan Davis
Authentic and tasty Belgium cuisine with a wide variety of true Belgium beers. This establishment is a must for any Houstonian.

Nice restaurant near downtown. Easy place to enjoy a meal, good Belgian beer and have a conversation. Onion soup was delicious.
Gabie Woodard
Wowee - amazing flavors! Friendly staff! We stopped in for brunch after church at Ecclesia (recommend that too) and shared mushrooms on toast (named something else in French) that were crazy good a creamed spinach crepe (rich and scrumptious) and an omelette with sausage and potatoes (tasty sausage, not too eggy) ... all was amazing! WE'LL BE BACK!
Gabriel Duenas

Tony Quiñones
Wonderful food, really enjoyed it. Although a bit pricey it was different and I genuinely liked the waitress she was very accommodating. The atmosphere was relaxed which is what I love in a restaurant. Also the beer selection is pretty good! I'll be back here soon!

Nancy S
We went for dessert, coffee, and hot chocolate. Very flavorful dessert and a nice rich chocolate. Various coffee choices too. It was a nice place. Looking at the menu they have a extensive selection of beers and wines. Promptly greeted and seated as we walked in and thanked with a hand shake as we left. The servers and employees were very professional. We were told the mussels were a specialty there and noticed many other tables eating mussels. We will definitely be back to try the food.

Came here for Sunday brunch. Great presentation, good service. I was a bit disappointed in the food though.
