Le Petit bon bon

Seriously this is a place worth visiting for their food, service and ambience. The shrimp croquette is the best I’ve tasted in Brussels; there are solid chunks of shrimp inside. They make their own cocktails and I ordered their signature which was really good. The service is also impeccable. I’m surprised this place is also family friendly but it’s great if you have kids. The restaurant is heated so don’t wear too warmly; there are places to hang your coats at the door.

As someone who’s currently pregnant, eating out at nice restaurants can often be a bit frustrating — so many dishes are undercooked or heavily sauced, and I usually end up picking around the menu. But this place went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and cared for. The waitress was incredibly thoughtful, checking in to ensure everything was cooked well and safe for me to eat. To top it off, the bartender even came over to offer custom pregnancy-friendly mocktails — such a kind and personal touch. The ravioli was delicious, the fries were to die for, and my mocktail was not only beautiful but genuinely one of the best I’ve had. So grateful for the warm service and attention to detail. Highly recommend for anyone, especially if you have dietary needs or just appreciate thoughtful hospitality!

Food was underwhelming. Was plated nicely as you’d expect from such a space , but the flavours and preparation were meh. Even their most modest side dish left you wanting. You can get better fries in most basic Belgian establishments. Place is trying too hard, and not delivering.

Amazing spot. Google doesn’t do half stars otherwise I would rate it 4.5. Excellent food, service, and setting inside the nicely restored Astoria hotel. The chef himself brought one of the dishes which is always a nice touch. Great wine list - but many wines on the young side still (they are new so it’s understandable). The only downside was that smoking is allowed on the outside terrace where we were sitting, which is a shame as some folks having a drink were disrupting our food experience by chain smoking nearby. I hear there is a proposal to ban smoking on terraces in Belgium, I’m all for it!

A perfect dinner! The staff were welcoming, friendly, and very professional. The 'brasserie' cuisine was incredibly comforting and perfectly executed. We'll be back!

I can’t imagine that this menu was created fully by Mr. Hardiquest. The venue is beautiful, and could be a fantastic place to be if the food were consistently good throughout all courses. We were a party of 5, and the appetizers were great, but the main courses were heavy on the sauces and on the crude side. None of our main dishes were satisfactory — the vol au vent, boulet liégeois, steak, or ribs. They need to rethink the amount of sauce they’re slathering on the food. Overall disappointing, we were hoping for better!

Great restaurant in a beautiful hotel. Bar tables and kitchen pass tables are great to watch the behind the scenes of top notch cooking and serving. Loved everything.

Decent food. 4.5/5 is accurate.
