Brussels Grill

So met up with desperately hungry US visiting folks who were staying at the Hilton and at 9:45pm, this was one of the only restaurants we could see open in the area.
Walking in, there’s a huge fire pit, and there were a fair few empty tables, so we got shown to one by the window. The menu is fairly garden variety mix of salads, steak, burgers, etc. and accordingly one diner got the green salad (after being informed by our wonderfully honest and funny server that her first choice, the soup of the day, was that great) and frites, and the other diner got a hamburger (and again, it was super cool that our server checked how he wanted the burger cooked) and then for dessert we got a waffle with whipped cream + strawberries, and all that plus drinks came to a total of around € 50.
So while the folks enjoyed their two main dishes, frankly the frites and the waffle were a disappointment. The frites tasted super oily and stale and even dunking them in ketchup didn’t help with the taste. The waffle tasted watered-​down, like cheap ingredients were used in the making of it, and the topping left a strange synthetic taste in the mouth. So while everything else was fine, I would def be wary of the frites, and frankly avoid ordering the waffle all together.
A shout out to our service however, as the waiter was super helpful and kind and had a great sense of humour.

Came here to have an early dinner with a friend on a workday that was blisteringly hot. The windows of the establishment show that there’s air conditioning inside, but either it’s a blatant lie or it was broken on the day we went, because it was just as hot inside as it was outside.
The staff was generally friendly but, apart from one waitress who was doing a great job, found them to be rather slow and unresponsive (perhaps the heat was getting to them too?). So it took us a long while to get just the menus and place our orders, and even longer to get our food.
The food itself was OK. Nothing really special (except you get big portions for a fair price). And our waitress was really nice despite being the only one running all over the place to help people out (she’s a true gem!).
Not sure if I’d go back, unless there are no other possibilities and I’m not pressed for time (like I would if I have a movie I need to go see quickly thereafter).

Generally speaking the food was good, my grilled salmon could have been more flavorful and should have been paired with a vegetable. Everyone else at our table seemed satisfied with their entrees.
What spoiled the experience for us is the snooty and snarky waiters. Too bad, the restaurant has an eclectic atmosphere and should have been a fun experience, instead our table of six all felt the aura of «assumed» superiority from our Swiss/​German waiter.

We had the salmon and grilled chicken. Really wonderful and cooked to perfection. Food was hot and served quickly.

Commandé, mangé et payé en 35min chrono!
Le Brussels Grill est à conseiller pour les gens qui crèvent la dalle en sortant du boulot mais qui né veulent quand même pas que le popcorn et le Coca de l’UGC De Brouckère (qui coûtent les yeux de la tête, soit dit en passant) constitue leur seul repas de la soirée.
Des valeurs sûres: les spare ribs et les burgers… Maintenant ce n’est pas de la haute cuisine certes (frites industrielles surgelées, salade en sachet) mais pour la bonne conscience, ça doit être un chouia plus nutritif que le McDo ou le Pizza Hut.

Eine vielveit von leckeren Gerichten bekommt man hier. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis stimmt. Die Gestaltung ist sehr angenehm und alles ist sauber.

The atmosphere in here was pretty bad and the place is full of fat business men and rude waiters. But it still gets 5 stars…
Amazing steak, ridiculous portions — carefull not to order too many sides!
Best steak house in town, even just perfect!

The «Brussels Grill» is surrounded by several points of interests and so is located very ideally when traveling through the city.

The dishes are adequate, filling and tasty.
Prices reach normal high, usual for big cities and restaurants close to points of interests.
