The Second Cafe - Etterbeek

You can take your fries from the nearest frietkot with you for a good drink.

The Second is a classic cafe with great service and location. They have a kitchen but friture are also accepted.

I consider this bistro one of my best discoveries in Brussels. It has a terrace plus it’s very cosy inside and it has a bright and friendly atmosphere. The toilets are clean. Excellent food, excellent service, very friendly waiter. Food arrived promptly. Very generous portions. We had steak cooked rare, which was delicious, salad with avocado, Soupe with pumpkin. We will definitely visit again and we are greatful that it was one of the few decent places open on Sunday at 19:00. I don’t understand why everyone is not open on a sunday

Great place for an afterwork beer. They have gluten-free beer, food (but you can also grab some frites de maison aintoine and sometimes they organise great parties!

We ordered cocktails in their happy hour which took over half an hour to arrive. Once the drinks did arrive one drink was incorrect. We then waited another 15 mins for the final cocktail. After a complaint we finally got the final cocktail. It was the worst cocktail I have ever had. The juice was cheap, the ice (that was there) was very poor quality. However, the restaurant did appear to only have two members of staff on duty (one was a waiter, the other was the bar staff) which may have affected their service but the quality of the products should have not been affected by this.
