Best birthday dinner and celebration! Alix was a great server and the Chouffe brewery representative added to our great experience. Having spent a lot of time in Brussels, we always love and order the moule and frites. Superb! Don't miss ordering the delicious side dish roasted vegetables cassolette. One other favorite we had was the trout almondine. Perfection. The flaming birthday dessert made our daughter's night. Thank you, Brussels Bistro San Clemente!

Very friendly, great selection of food. The Ceasar and the filet was amazing. Went to try some of the Belgium beers, and the CEO from Sr Bernadus was there. And don't recall the beers name but it was a Cuvée and outstanding!!! Fantastic, thank you Tomas!!!

Large table of diners, making a lot of noise. Made it hard having a conversation with my husband.

Great location in central San Clemente, good menu choices and a nice range of Belgian Beers. Service was excellent and was attentive but not over bearing. Nice atmosphere and the food was lovely!

We had a marvelous experience at Brussels on a Thursday evening. The four of us shared many starters; they were all great! Cheese Croquettes and Bitterballen were delightful! Fabulous French Fries were perfect, and hot! Mussels Marinara and Pate rounded out the evening. A wonderful time was had by all!

Favorite spot on Del Mar. Cocktails are always perfect. Great selection of artisan beers too. The Beef Bourguignon is a must! Start with the cone of Belgian fries. Very cozy spot!

Service was great. The servers worked like a well oiled machine transfer from bar and then clearing and bringing food seamlessly. Drinks were perfect and memorable. Muscles were cooked well. But the favorite was the ice cream, chocolate crepe. That will haunt me...lol.

Excellent Flemish restaurant with authentic character!

What a fantastic find! I love discovering places that truly focus on Flanders and its incredible beer culture. Walking by, I noticed their little marquee showcasing an impressive selection including Tripel Karmeliet, Bavik, Chimay, and St. Bernardus - clearly they know their Belgian brews.

The menu features plenty of mussels alongside other wonderful traditional Flemish dishes. Everything was executed beautifully. This is exactly the kind of authentic experience you hope to find. 5/5!

We went here for a family dinner are were impressed all around. Excellent service with servers that knew how to pronounce all the food items. Menu had plenty of options for everyone and they had a great selection of Belgian beer and cocktails. A little on the pricey side but very competitive relative to all the expensive restaurants around here.
