" Just had the most delightful evening at BXL Cafe! The mussels were exquisite, and the fries were perfect—just as you'd expect in Belgium. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the beer selection, which made choosing the right drink a fun experience. The atmosphere was cozy, perfect for unwinding after a busy day in the city. I can't wait to come back again next week! Highly recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I decided to celebrate our anniversary at BXL Cafe, and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere was charming, evoking the true feel of a Belgian cafe. Our server went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience, and the mussels were exceptional! A perfect portion for two to share. The fries also paired excellently with the dipping sauces. This restaurant is now one of our favorite spots in the city—can't wait to bring friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Belgian experience you can have in NYC! I adored the ambiance and the authentic flair.

" (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! The atmosphere was charming and the staff welcoming. The beer selection is extensive, and the food was high-quality. I had the steak frittes which were good, though the portion could be more generous. Overall, I'd love to come back when I get the chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" BXL Cafe is the quintessential Belgian bistro right in the heart of NYC. I visited with friends for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the menu. The beer selection was vast, and the servers offered great recommendations. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the moules and croque madame, which were both delicious and felt true to their roots. The vibe was buzzing yet comfortable, making it a fantastic spot for a casual night out! Will definitely come back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at BXL Cafe is great for a Friday night out. The beer selection was impressive, but I was a bit let down by the food. My friend's sandwich was a tad dry, though the fries were decent. I wouldn't mind giving this place another try, as the vibe was on point. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good place to stop for a beer, especially during the weekends. It's a good spot to watch a game with friends. However, the food could use some improvement. While the beer selection is authentic, the nachos tasted more like standard American bar food. I'd recommend coming here for drinks rather than dining. " (*Curated Review*)
