Great, cosy spot. Excellent beer selection, a good small choice of food. We had a yummy toasted sandwich at 3pm in the afternoon, I think they also had spaghetti, and it smelt delicious. Great decor - it's filled with old puppets and mannekin pis memorabilia. More

Very interesting bar right next to the Mannekin Pis fountain and as other TA friends have mentioned, you'd expect it to be very 'touristy', but apart from the standard chairs and tables outside, inside it's a completely different and quirky perspective. The beer menu is a bit more limited than Moeder Lambic or Delirium but still a good comprehensive choice... More

If you want to taste Belgian beers, not necessary coming from big international breweries company, but from various small belgian places, come here. I know the place since more than 20 years, and it's still a very good address. Well placed in front of "Manneken Pis", not far from the GrandPlace More

As another noted, you might expect the eateries surrounding the Mannequin Pis to be as disappointing as the statue itself, but this is a happy exception!
