Frank.

Cozy brunch place in Bruxelles :) The perfect combination of muffin, poached egg, home made hollandaise sauce is on point! Not to mention about the simple looking Latte but super tasty. Last but not least, the service here is top notch. (Not overrated ;P )

Throwback to a day wandering around Brussels. I stumbled upon Frank Brussels just as they were opening their doors, and just before a queue around the block formed. A warm welcome at the door by chef, the team couldn’t be more helpful. The food portions are generous and everything is locally sourced. I enjoyed the Savoury Stack of Pancakes, Pancakes, triple stack, in-house smoked thin slice of pork shoulder, thick slice of slow cooked Brasvar bacon, baked green leaves, honey & lemon syrup, topped with a fried egg. washed down with a great flat white and apple juice. Highly recommended.

Hands down the best cappuccino I’ve had in a long time! The girl who made it was an absolute artist – perfect microfoam, beautiful latte art, and the taste was spot-on. Super friendly service and such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Already craving my next one!

Frank isn’t the kind of place you stumble across, and I think that’s kind of the point. Hidden away on a low-key Brussels street with barely any signage, it’s the definition of a “if you know, you know” café. But walk through the door and you're instantly rewarded: bright natural light, a calm minimalist interior, and the kind of coffee you actually want to sip slowly. I went for an iced oat latte (twice with no regrets), and it was easily one of the best I had on this trip. Smooth, nutty, and balanced with none of that watery afterthought energy. Food-wise, I ordered the Eggs Francine; a colourful, seasonal plate with poached eggs, roasted pumpkin, sunchokes, baked greens, and the brightest, zingiest hollandaise I’ve had in ages. It’s brunch that actually feels considered. What makes Frank stand out is the quiet confidence: no need to shout about itself, no over-designed gimmicks. Just quality ingredients, a semi-open kitchen, and the kind of laid-back elegance that makes you want to stretch your coffee break by an extra hour. Worth the hunt.

I can see why this place has such great reviews. First time visiting Brussels. The staff were lovely and speak English. The food was delicious we had the eggs Benedict with salmon. And a matcha latte. If I got to Brussels again l will definitely come back here.

I was excited to try this cafe as someone from Belgium who’s lived in Melbourne for 7 years. The coffee is definitely better than what you’ll find in most Belgian cafes, but is still not up to par with Australian coffee. I ordered American pancakes with rhubarb and got poached pear instead without being notified by the waitress, which was disappointing. Service isn’t quite there either. I was seated by a staff member but no one was then sent to my table, I had to wait quite a few minutes before I was asked if anyone had given me a menu even though multiple waiters passed me by. Another table nearby seemed to have the same experience. I do have to say though, staff was lovely when I did interact with them.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we waited around 3–5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We asked for a table for five and were told there was a "big table" available. However, when we were shown to it, we were shocked to find a large container filled with what looked like (possibly dirty?) laundry placed right there. The table was located right next to the restroom area and uncomfortably close to the kitchen, making it quite smoky. We politely asked if we could move to a more suitable spot—perhaps splitting into a table for two and a table for three—but were told no tables were available. This was clearly not the case, as we saw at least two or three free tables both upstairs and downstairs. It was our first meal of the day, and we were excited to experience local hospitality in a new country. Unfortunately, this restaurant completely missed the mark. Disappointing service and poor setup—definitely not recommended.

ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN BRUSSELS! Our first meal in Brussels and the staff on-site that day weren’t accommodating and were not attentive at all - they even looked at us waiting to be entertained outside in the cold and just laughed. We were a group of five and was asking for a table that would fit us all. We were put at a table near the toilet which smelled and is beside a smoky kitchen. The table also had a basket containing laundry (that might have been dirty!) which wasn’t appetizing at all and ruined our whole morning. We asked to compromise and have us separated into two tables but they didn’t budge at all (people were seated after us into tables of 3 or tables of 2). They got our order and prepared the table with water and glasses. The glasses given to us wasn’t properly cleaned at all. Now I’m thinking if they were actually partially racist as it felt racially driven. When they saw us taking pictures of the basket, they removed it to save face. The food was served and it wasn’t even that good - was totally a mistake going here for our breakfast!!! Don’t recommend it at all. I don’t want to generalize but it gave me a bit of a bad taste on how I looked at Belgian hospitality crew (hopefully this is not the case for other restaurants). Lesson learned: Don’t forget to check the low star reviews before selecting a place! Ruined the whole Brussels trip I was on.
