Great Frech-Moroccan fusion food at a very correct price. Two brothers running the restaurant with great enthusiasm. Everything (everything!) is home made. It is a bit of the beaten track in the Cimetiere neighbourhood - go find it, it is worth the 2 min. extra walk!

This is a great little place with really lovely decoration, so cosy in the evenings. The staff have great timing, are attentive without being oversolicitous and the food is really good. Helpings could be a little more generous as it's not cheap, hence four stars only.

We visited this restaurant with our friends in the middle of Sep after 9 PM. Were impressed by food (steaks were fantastic especially), beer (good selection with different type of taste) and very good service. Do you need something else on top of what is mentioned? We do not! So enjoy please!

We found this place on trip advisor. I had sole munière. My boyfriend had the wild boar. Both dishes were outstanding. I had crème brulée and he had the sorbet trio. Again both were outstanding. The owner of the restaurant was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

I am sorry to mark poor rating for overpricing on sparking water no matter how good at the cooking. The one litre SPA costed me 10 euro but the same one in supermarket is selling at 0.62 euro. Itâs multiple 16 times. Does it make sense? Maybe your restaurant was starred but frankly speaking itâs not my first time to try similar quality restaurant even much famous and better. Even famous hotel , Mandarin oriental hotel , itâs grill house priced their wine in multiple 3-5 only. Usually, I trust the professionalism in the restaurant and such that I didnât check the price and to follow the suggestion. Also, I donât expect such overwhelming price of water in Brussels. It wonât be happened in Paris and London. I am quite disappointed for it to make comment here!!! The staff serviced well with good suggestion on wine pairing with the starter. Impressive. One point is to remind that tuna is not fresh enuf. The main course for the pork is cooked well but the curry sauce with peanut seems not intense , not Thai, not japan, not India one. Cannot tell how it taste indeed. The side dish esp. the potato is pan well, crunchy surface and soft inside. Dessert is ok.MerciDear KidultCoolfirst of all... ouf, the food was good, and you had a relative Pleasant lunch (at least it's what you said when you left the restaurant.About the pork, it's absolutely not a curry sauce (neither japonese, indian, nor thai, nor either part of the world), just a classical french Brown jus with some peanuts butter and chinese saté Inside⦠Nothing more ;-)Then, thanks for the 2 stars rate for your good moment in our restaurant! ;-) (it's ironic, just in case if you do not understand) your comment about the price of water gives me a platform for some explanations:your emotion is understandable, but your argument is somewhat truncated â¦Let's start from the premise that a restaurant is a for-profit company and that its goal is to make profit (in the preamble, know that it is the same prices everywhere in Brussels in this type of establishment .. and that it is cheaper than in Paris)First of all: we do not sold it really 10â¬, in fact it's 8.26 â¬, the rest is the value Added tax (1.73â¬) like mentionned on your photo ⦠we call that the TVA and it's directly for the State ;-) Secundly, after delivering in the restaurant, water costs us around 1.20⬠⦠yes our provider doesn't work for free (he has to pay his employees, his truck, fuel, tax, and soâ¦) --> yes we have a ratio of 6.8 for the water⦠but It's quite less than in Paris where water is cheapest in supermarket (they have no tax on water in France, like we have in Belgium) and where the sold it on higher price, like Shangri-la (8⬠for 1/2 l (5⬠in the Stirwen) 11⬠for a liter ⦠and with a VAT of 10% (21% in Belgium) to summarizeBelgium : buy 1.20⬠(vat excluded) --> 8.26⬠(vat ex) => 10⬠(vat included) the price you payFrance : buy 0.55⬠(vat excluded) --> 10 â¬( vat excluded) => 11 ⬠(vat included) the price you payDid you really imagine one second that a restaurant will really sell a bottle of water at 2⬠(multiple x3.5) and earns less than 1.20⬠for giving you a 100% cotton toppings, tablecloth,, high level porcelain and cutlery, three kinds of fresh bread, two kinds of butter (from local craftsmen), organic olive oil â¦noooo you are too smart to Believe the opposite ;-)since you stayed more than one hour at table (and it's our pleasure to se you having good time) ⦠since you were not in a crownded restaurant with no napkins where they Don't allow you to stay long time because they want to sell the table a second time and give you frozen industrial bread and butter (which has only butter in the name) ⦠and where they finally sell you water at 8⬠.. me personnaly, I prefer giving 2more euros!

Tonton Garby gave us a very warm welcome when we arrived at his restaurant. We helped us choose our sandwiches and was very thorough in explaining the ingredients. Theyâre very generous with the cheese and meats so the sandwiches are very tasty. I loved #7. We went back to eat there again after a week and I was surprised that he recognized me (despite serving hundreds of customers in a day) and said âI never forget a smileâ

We like to try the best restaurants when we visit different cities and Le Rabassier is one of Brussels' best.It's menu is choice of four degustation/ tasting menus for various fixed prices. We chose the second one at â¬90 each. Each menu contains similar dishes with the differences being the number of dishes increasing with each step in price.The food was excellent and the wine list extensive.While it was excellent in quality we found the flavours quite strong in some of the dishes (mainly the Parmesan )which took from our total enjoyment.My favourite was the venison which was sooo tender and delicious.It is a small venue with seating for 20 and there was 16 on our night. Making a reservation would be advisable The service was impeccable. Highly recommended
