BE – Restaurant Vincent = ZERO

Our CEO was telling lots of stories about this famous restaurant in Brussels for the past few years. So we decided to go and have a cool dinner while in Brussels for the ESE. Our reservation was made for 19:00 for 11 persons and we had 3 guests coming over to join us within the 11, but they got late by train.

I was the first to arrive at 19:05 sharp, and when asked about our table, the guy looks at me and said: “you are late and you are alone”, i replied, yes we are late for 5 minutes because we were at the exhibition that closes @ 18:00 and the traffic and my colleagues are following me, they will be here in 5 minutes, but the guy was not really happy and could see it clearly.

Then my colleagues arrived and we were 7 at table, the 4 missing were just around the corner and when they arrived it was around 19:30, so we got the menus and wanted to order some starters but were informed that we can not as we got late to the table and they need us to finish before 21:00 as they are receiving a large group of 150 people. So we had to go directly to the main course, and after waiting like 40 minutes, i got this “famous” dish while i was expecting to see something extraordinary but it was not the case at all.

I also need to mention about the bad mood and character of the waiters because we arrived few minutes late to our table and everytime we wanted to order a drink or ask for something, we were hit by that “look”.

To make the long story short, when in Brussels, never go to Restaurant Vincent because NO GOOD FOOD & NO GOOD MOOD and my humble rating for this restaurant would be A BIG ZERO, Sorry Chafic !!!
