CafÉ Des Epices - Etterbeek

A very extensive menu. Very good value for money. A clientele mostly composed of European Commission members.

Terrible service with a waiter who had to come back three times to take the order because he couldn't remember it (just two dishes to remember!).

On my second visit to this restaurant with a group of five, the waiter only brought four slices of bread to our table. When I requested another slice, he rudely responded that we wouldn't need it until the main course arrived. I had to ask for bread again when the main course was served, and he reluctantly brought one slice and tossed it on the table. Moreover, when I paid, I noticed that the change given to us left us with nothing. I will not be coming back to this restaurant.

I ordered 4 different dishes at this restaurant. The wok scampis were very good but the portion size was small. The tagliatelles salmon was bland. The Salad of the sea was good but not enough for a full meal. The vegetarian flat had a problem with the server's lack of friendliness. Overall, the politeness and friendliness of the staff is a real issue at this restaurant.

The only positive aspect of this restaurant is that it is conveniently located on Square Jourdan. I dined there twice. The first time, I ordered the chili con carne, which had a strong raw curry powder flavor and low-quality meat with bones. I was unable to eat it despite being very hungry. During my second visit with a group of five people, the waiter only brought out four slices of bread. When I inquired about the missing slice, he rudely said that it wouldn't be needed until the main course arrived. I insisted on having the bread with my main course, and he begrudgingly brought a piece and tossed it on the table. Additionally, when it came time to pay, I noticed that the change I received back was incorrect, leaving me suspicious that he had shortchanged us. I will not be returning to this establishment again.
