Why just 4 stars for a place where I've been and gone back many, many times.
Well because inside (despite a decor that works), it tends to be fairly noisy, whereas outside it is simple perfection. Set on an isand in the middle of a little lake in the center of the Bois de la Cambre, it's great way to escape the busy city.
We usually bring visitors to this place, because just the little boat ride to get to the island is fun and makes the place a little special.
Food is well executed, and very classic belgian brasserie cuisine (Filet américain, Boulet de Liège etc.... but also lighter dishes for those of you who like to watch the callorie intake :-) )
For desert they do they great classic Dame blanche (Vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, whip cream) in various versions: Dame rouge, dame noir, dame brune. My personal favorite.. Dame brune, where chocolate is replaced by caramel.
On a sunny day, kids will love running around the island, and they might stumble upon a little rabbit or two.
