Bij den Boer Review

Very good seafood restaurant, the seafood here is still very fresh

If you always go into a restaurant experience in a relaxed and enthusiastic frame of mind, then the dining experience will reward your positivity. The staff at Bij den Boer were lovely and the food was superb. I can heartily recommend the foie gras and my partner very much enjoyed her corvina (both on the €24 lunch menu.) All four of our party walked away from BdB happy to have eaten there for our last meal in a fabulous trip to Brussels.

Excellent food, good service but stressful welcome… We booked the only available time slot (as from 14h), we arrived on time but we were told that the restaurant did not received the booking and that 14h is too late… Nevertheless, they accepted to serve us food but maximum one dish… Finally we received main dish, dessert and coffee (all excellent), so it’s a pity that we had this useless stress at our arrival.

We had an exceptional lunch at a local establishment. Wait staff was extremely professional and kind. He assisted us in explaining the menu due to our lack of the language. Everything from drinks to dessert was sublime. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending this restaurant to all. What an enjoyable gastronomical experience.

It was dinner for two on a busy Friday evening and the food was great. We had the set menu of fish soup, scallops and oysters which were tatsy. And we had the sunfish and monkfish for mains, though dishes were quite similar in taste profile, delicious nevertheless. The staff were friendly however the service was slow and had to prompt them every step. The couple on next table were still waiting for starters when we finished our mains, though having being seated at the same time. Would definitely return but perhaps on a weekday.
