A respectable house since 1882! To have a good meal in a festive atmosphere, there is one good place in Brussels! The king of mussels and chips and of good old Brussels cuisine. At a time when Brussels tries to become trendier, where restaurants and other lounge places compete to design from bare to trendy atmospheres; Au Vieux Bruxelles as its name shows, has been able to preserve its simplicity! And this is exactly what makes its charm. The building is located at the border of two mythical neighbourhoods of the capital: the exotic and smiling Matongué and the very trendy Saint-Boniface neighbourhood. This nice situation gives that place some anachronism. In an informal atmosphere, Au Vieux Bruxelles has always benefited from good reviews for its good old Brussels meals, its smiling staff, its authentic old pub-like design with wooden furniture, old mirrors and Vichy curtains... Most of the design dates back to the beginning of the 20th century! But what is more important, let's be chauvinistic and proud to be for a while, is that it serves hand-cut fresh chips! Take this! The young, the less young, trendy or untrendy people, people keep coming and coming, and the pleasure remains. Let us give you some of our tasty meals to open your appetite: a dozen ways of preparing mussels, melted Maredsous cheese, home-made shrimp croquettes, a mixed selection of warm blood sausages and onion jam, beef with Lambic gueuze, pork with Tierentijns pickles sauce, meatballs with tomato sauce,... and many more! Prices attract customers, only quality holds them. This is what you can read on the walls of this very old Brussels restaurant. |
