Pushing back the flappy canvas entrance you stumble into a real Brussels Brasserie with sand on the floors,white marbled topped tables close together so no secret business discussions here. It looks rustic and a bit run down but the menu selection puts you at ease immediately.We shared a plate of Pata Negra as a starter -the best I have tasted... More

Very traditional place with marble top tables, excellent service and serving fairly simple, but well prepared, good quality food. Excellent fish choice. Very busy and a bit cramped, but really good atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit for real Brussels experience.

We went to L'Ogenblik at the suggestion of a colleague who lives in Brussels - always good to get a local recommendation. The food and decor are unpretentious as you'd expect in a brasserie but there's lots of choice on the menu and the cooking is excellent. The staff are busy but friendly. It's not cheap - but nowhere in... More

One of our favorites for many years. How sad to see the service suffer to such an extent. On a not especially busy evening it was inefficienct and even rather arrogant.

This is one of the classic bistros: small, in the centre of Brussels, unusual and very pleasant. The menu is unconventional, the quality of the food very good indeed. Service is businesslike and very efficient. Highly recommended

To eat here more often....!! Hidden away in the Galleries St Hubert, this is a small cosy restaurant - particularly if you like 'sanded floors, white marble topped tables & green glass light shades'. It really feels authentic and maintains a nicely traditional style - despite its proximity to the very tacky 'tourist traps' 100 metres away. The food is... More

The problem with food in Belgium is that it is too often delicious, and you tend to put on those extra pounds... L'Ogenblik is certainly very guilty in this regard! We had a delicious meal, not cheap but excellent value for money. The decor - a real brasserie - and the professional service were to match. Also, for tourists like... More

We avoided the dreary Bourse - full of touts and ghastly photocopies of food to lure tourists - and then we found Ogenblik - the real deal. The very fact that it was full of people who obviously knew each other and were known by the staff was a great start - as was the fact that, instead of a... More
