Brasserie des Belges

It was a good experience in front of a huge station Gare du Nord. The food was good vegetable lazanha was great and the cortesy of Melina was so amazing. I recomend them strongly.

Beware !! Never in my life have I’ve ever felt so disrespected. We were paying to leave on Saturday night. My friend asked for them to charge her phone so she can Apple Pay the bill the server and the other bartender that were there got mad. I was drinking my orange juice that they had already served me and the tequila shots. As I was drinking my juice the server legit grabbed his hands and took the drink out of mouth and hands as I was drinking it, and started taking the shot away from my table . I told him stop. What are you doing? I can afford to pay this because I have credit cards. I was gonna pay with my card if they were not going to charge my friends phone it was no big deal. They yelled at me and told me to pay now. I had never been disrespected at a restaurant like this ever. First time visiting France, staying at a hotel nearby and this was a place to grab food. Worst experience ever. The bald bartender/server at this restaurant was so disrespectful. Good luck to you if you’re dining here.

I ordered my steak medium rare, but what I received was clearly rare at best — cold and raw in the middle, with barely any sear. I could still hear the cow going MOOO When you dine out and pay good money for a proper steak, the least you expect is for it to be cooked as requested. The presentation was rushed, the service was indifferent, and no one checked in to ask if everything was okay. I left feeling like the kitchen either doesn’t know what medium rare means or just doesn’t care. Won’t be returning anytime soon.

If you are stopping at Gare du Nord in Paris and need a chill place to rest, have some coffee, have something to eat and drink while smoking and relaxing, this can be your place! The staff is friendly and attentive. They were welcoming and courteous from start to end. I met up with a friend because she needed to take the train from Gare du Nord and this was a convenient stop for both of us to sit and catch up 😊 We sat outside. We ordered cider (which was not mentioned on the menu so do not hesitate to ask 😉) and a Nutella Waffle with a side of fries. There was nice music in the background loud enough to hear it discreetly but not too loud to bother conversation. Merci encore!

One of the many outlets across the road from the Gare du Nord. Ideal for passing time people watching whilst waiting for a train or sheltering from the rain, as we did. Strong coffee and machine hot chocolate did the trick for us. Pleasant enough staff but it does get busy and remember that the local custom still allows smoking at bars.
