Pistolet Original

Amazing pistolet! It is something that we often eat on Sundays, but it’s so refreshing to eat it with other ingredients ! Buns are also bigger than a year ago, I think?? Everything is fresh and portions are perfect for a quick lunch. Original, fast, affordable, delicious !

The international tour continues and now ‘Swiss Note’ has decided to look for afternoon brunch. I would like a breakfast roll, bagel, baguette type…..fast breakfast with only one place on my mind here in Brussels, ‘Pistolet Original’. Now you all also know me as the ‘French Toast Connoisseur’ unfortunately I haven’t found that here yet but I’m sure it’s coming soon look out somewhere on this international review tour. ‘Pistolet Original’ nice team, confident workers that took my order and I could tell they knew I’d be more than happy. Beautifully cooked French-style scrabbled eggs (if you know, you know!) on top of a soft yet well toasted bun/roll with sausages perfectly cooked and another top bun to make a wonderful early afternoon brunch. Simple, compact and delicious food, that I returned for twice ordering the same thing on this trip. “The connoisseur knows what he likes.” and this was it!

Food is nice but the service is slow and confusing. Non-existent choice of sides, a shame since the pistolet will not fill you if you are hungry. Also impossible to know whether you are getting that little side pot of fries (more like crisps tbh), sometimes you get it sometimes not. I also got served the wrong thing, after 20min of waiting for a sandwich

I asked for Halal food and fully cooked but they given me a raw Meat which was disgusting and I called the police on them and filles a full dispute. The manager was very disrespectful and shouted on me with a hateful manners possible. Please do not go to this restaurant this waste of time and money!

The american is an absolute must: beef tartar in a crunchy outside soft inside bun. The roast beef and celeriac mayo was ok but lacked a little flavour. In the uk we always serve roast beef with horse radish or mustard, which gives it a kick. They accomodated my two year old woth no problem! They took his pistolet apart so he could eat it bit by bit. The fish sticks!!! Amazing. The tar tar sauce was home made and delicious.

Pistolet in Brussels is a spot I keep coming back to whenever I’m in town. They serve classic Belgian pistolet sandwiches, simple, fresh, and delicious. The “Americain” with raw beef is a must-try, but there are plenty of other great options too. Friendly staff, cute space, and always a solid choice for a quick, tasty bite!

Well-designed clean place. I had a vegetarian option that really wasn’t filling. I was still hungry after. Sandwiches are good for a quick snack but not for a meal. There were other options that may have been better.

De pistolei can never disappoint, they offer simple foods and the quality is always consistent. The sandwiches here are authentic Belgian ones and even higher quality than other sandwicheries.
