I don’t typically write reviews, particularly contrary ones. That said, I dined at Restaurant St. Catherine on June 11, 2013 and had a completely opposite experience compared to another TA reviewer dining on the same night. To begin, I found the restaurant unpretentious and welcoming. The host and staff were extremely attentive to my needs and I easily found an... More

Visited on the basis of TripAdvisor reviews. Some accuracies (met by the owner/chef?, asked whether we preferred meat or fish, served salmon on toast etc). However we were rather (very) underwhelmed with the whole experience. We were served the wrong cut of steak and not cooked to order. In fact the impression is you are served what the owner/chef? wants... More

We had dinner at restaurant Sainted Catherine on the strength of other good Tripadvisor reviews, and were not disappointed. It was a 10 minute walk from the main tourist areas, in a much quieter part of the city. It is not formal or pretentious, the menu is simple - either a set menu or a-la-carte, with not too many choices.... More

This was the best eating experience I have had in Europe, the restaurant is a little away from the main squares and is small and friendly and relaxed. The chef will come out to your table to give his advice for the meal and will cook to your order and specification. The service is great and friendly and the food... More

Quaint place a few steps off the noisy tourist zone. Greeted by personable staff that listened well and brought us unexpected treats. We started with scallops and commented how awesome they were.Mysteriously an additional serving showed up. Highly recommend Salmon. Perfect.

The owner/chef welcomed me into the place as soon as I walked through the door. Nice! They are very friendly here and as soon as I sat down they asked about a drink and made menu suggestions. After getting a beer and ordering a main dish, they brought me over a lovely smoked salmon on toast with a red pepper... More

I visited this restaurant with a work colleague, he had eaten there many times before and recommended it for a good meal and an entertaining experience. This place is great. It is small and a just a short distance from the busy areas of the city. If you are looking for a formal experience with many waiters and formal dining... More

We went to Bruxelles this february, and one night went to this restaurant. It's really small and in some way is like being at your uncle's house (if you have an uncle that is able to cook so damn well!) Fish was excellent and also meat. The cooker is very friendly and speak a lot of languages. I have adore... More

Been there three times with a group of about ten people, every time we have left the restaurant extremely happy about everything. Last time we visited the Brussels Sea Food Fair for three days and i took our group to eat to this place one evening. The owner... More

The owners were very welcoming and nice. The food was very good. You can see them make the food in the kitchen, and the smells are great. I'd recommend this restaurant.
