" Wow! What a wonderful cafe! I came here for lunch after a recommendation. The atmosphere felt authentically European. I had the croque madame and it was one of the best I've ever had! They have an incredible selection of beer, and my server was informative and friendly. I will be returning, for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an exceptional time at BXL Cafe! The moules were fresh, and the sauce was lovely. I appreciated the friendly staff's recommendations—they genuinely seemed to care about our dining experience. The environment was cozy and perfect for conversation. Will be back to try more of the menu soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has character! Loved the decor and truly felt like I was in a Belgian café. The staff were wonderful, and I appreciated their knowledge about the menu. The moules were delicious, but the frites were a letdown. I’d still give this place another try for the overall vibe! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at BXL Cafe after hearing great things. The atmosphere was charming and inviting, but my meal was underwhelming. I ordered the carbonnade, which was bland and lacked depth. However, the service was excellent, and I enjoyed the beer selection. I might give it another go in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my visit to BXL Cafe! The mussels were fantastic and very fresh. The fries could have been crisper, but they were still enjoyable. The atmosphere was cozy, a great escape from the busy city. Would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and a nice drink! " (*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*)
