Chez Maelys - Bruxelles

The dishes are delicious and gourmet, and they are served very nicely. The owner, who is also a philosopher, is very kind and enjoys talking to the customers. It's worth noting that the discount with The Fork is only given if you order either an appetizer and main dish, or a main dish and dessert. However, everything is very good and we will definitely return to try all the dishes we missed. Don't hesitate to go, you won't be disappointed.

I highly recommend this restaurant without any hesitation! It's a real pleasure to find such amazing food at such a reasonable price in the city center (20 euros per person). I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this gem at the Saint-Gery halls on a Sunday at 11:45. Despite the unattractive facade, the interior is bright and welcoming. The waitress greeted us warmly, even after we had been turned away from four other restaurants. She took the time to listen to our dietary restrictions and provided us with great recommendations. Although there were no prawns available, the chef kindly substituted with two other dishes. The wait for our food was longer than expected, but the team apologized profusely and offered us complimentary drinks. When our dishes finally arrived, they were absolutely delicious! The flavors were truly exceptional. We didn't mind waiting an extra 45 minutes for food this good. We also had the pleasure of meeting the chef, who came to our table at the end of the meal to apologize for the delay and share his passion for cooking with fresh, seasonal, and organic ingredients in his wood oven. We're grateful to him, his wife (who is the waitress), and the rest of the team for this incredible dining experience at Michaelys (named after their daughter). Thank you once again for this wonderful discovery.
