Café Walvis

Food: EXCELLENT. I've never tasted eggs and bacon THAT tasty before.

Outside seating area is gorgeous. Inside is pretty too, very quirky. The toilets are so strange, but honestly, nothing is normal these days. They were clean 👌

Now I’m someone who often dines solo, I either read or journal my thoughts while awaiting my food or if I got a lot on my mind I just write.

When I got there there was a nice vibe. There’s illustrations on glass windows and a nice view of the canal. If you love posters, in the washroom there are posters everywhere pamphlets and postcards (the graphic designer in me loved every part of it lol).

I sat backing the bar that day and it was raining. The service was absolutely amazing, I didn’t feel self conscious eating alone and the staff made me feel welcome.

I ordered the 17€ Belgian burger which came with homemade fries and a red cocktail I also got a salad which was huge and absolutely delicious. I can’t rmr the name of the cocktail (it wasn’t my taste but I finished it anyway).

The burger was soooooo good omfg. The wait staff and owner (I think it was him) was also very lovable. I really recommend this place especially if you’re a solo diner such as myself. I also recommend the gâteau au poire it’s absolutely fire ! 😌

Honestly go, take your friends or just go alone it’s a really great place and it’s affordable as well.

Thanks for the great service !

Very nice cafe, perfect to grab a coffee in the morning, have a nice lunch during the day, have a beer anytime. I come here since ages and the management and team are always kind and quick.
I totally recommend it.

Great vibes and laid back atmosphere. We came with group of 12 (we did make upfront reservation for such number) and were seated near the counter in nice spot.

Food was tasty, wide variety of choices (often with veggie twist). We had great evening. Great conversation place as well, comfortable to speak with entire group. 👍

Simply a great service, well trained staff, neat vintage decor (we do like wood in Brussels), and a magnificent veggie croque. The best I tasted in years.

Lovely food that came very quickly when we were super hungry. The shakshuka and fries were great. Staff were all smiling and professional. Thanks, and we will be back!

The place is nicer then the other bistros/cafes in the city center. The prices were not that high and the decoration was pretty

Best burger,best brioche,best cesar salad i had in my life! The menu is not big,but what gets served is really prepared to perfection.
Burger bun/brioche is beyond good, meat patty was grilled to perfection, side fries were also great. Cesar salad mix was top! Chicken was juicy,salad fresh and crispy,dressing well prepared. Along with cold blanche beer,it just made my day :)
Staff is also super nice and cracking jokes all the time with smiles.
Well worth the visit.

They were very nice and polite. They explained to us what's on the menu and the waitress was very kind. The food was genuine and tasty. Also for a very little inconvenient done by the waitress they refused to made me pay my last order! I suggest this place for everyone who want's to feel warm, welcomed, satisfied by the food and also charmed by the ambient. From an Italian Girl. Thank you very much, we all really liked it.

I love this place. nice terrasse, nice decoration inside.
servcie is good, and plate (all to eat) is good. from small plate to share to main course.
good beers, but not so much (missing some great brands).
-
not good: if they want to close, they remove the terrasse and put table and chairs inside, even if you're still there. the hours to close was 1AM, but round 10:30PM they close and put all eapople outside.

Great service here and really great good. The waiters couldn't do enough for us and our baby which made it an easy dinner. The place is hip and has delicious beers. And the steak was delicious. Thanks!

Great place to have a lunch/dinner. Prices are normal. Meals are highly satisfying. Staffs are so nice and kind. There are wide variety of drinks in the menu. You should definitely give couple of them a try.

I am so glad I stop at this place. The environment is great and beers are so good! The service is what made my experience so much better! Everyone was so nice and helpful and had a lot of beer recommendations! Def would recommend this bar. 😋

Absolutely loved my time here. Great ambiance, friendly staff, and amazing food. I had a Westmalle Trappist along with Brie cheese toast and vegetarian burger. The Brie cheese toast was probably one of the most delicious things I have ever had. Highly recommend trying it! The burger is served with a side of sweet potato fries.

Great place right off the canal, close to the rail and some other cool spots including the Belgian beer project across the street. Really nicely curated beer list with some options we hadn't seen anywhere else, including some very cool monthly rotators. Staff was incredibly nice and the service was some of the best we've had in Brussels. I'd highly recommend this place to anybody looking for a nice Cafe to have a beer and food in this area.

Amazing home made belgian food! Staff was very kind and helpful. Menu is a bit expensive but not too much. A lot of special prices at lunch and other daily offers.

Delicious eggs and bacon with fresh bread and juice. Highly recommend as a nice breakfast/brunch spot and the staff were friendly. The food did take a little while to come but it was Saturday morning and quite busy so we didn’t mind.

A very nice place. The food was very good but don't expect a very large selection. The coffee was great and the service fast. We had breakfast at around 10:30 on a Saturday so the place was not busy.

We stayed in AirBnb next to the café and one morning decided to have a brunch in there. The eggplant dish was divine! It was a dish of the day, so not sure you can definitely try it there but if you can I’d strongly recommend it! The staff is nice and cheerful!

Very cozy atmosphere, I grabbed lunch and worked on my laptop here while waiting for a delayed train home. The service was slow but that suited me since I was doing some work and felt no rush to leave.
