  Slow service, below average quality, small quantity but..."cool looking" place.

  Very nice place, family friendly, you can bring a stroller. Also great for comics lovers, nice selection and environment to browse books. It's also usually open on days and times when other restaurants are closed. The downside, it's a bit pricey and the menu doesn't offer a big variety. But all-in-all worth it!

  I very much liked this place which combines two of my favourite things in life: food and books :)
  We arrived, had a great lunch (a bit too salty for me though!) and then relaxed and chilled among the alleys full of books!
  They have some of their books in different languages also, which is particularly great I think...
  I rambled in the art section as well as the comics one... Work lunch time didn't allowed us to do more however next time I'll definitely check the other sections! :)
  Last but not least; the price of the books were average same for the food... They don't charge extra for the fancy concept or idea which is fair I believe :)
  I'll go back soon and bring more friends for sure!

  It's great place if you're eating alone, in a group. It's like having dinner in a library! They have plenty of space for all sorts of seating needs. On Saturday before 6 they have a limited menu. Most of the main dishes are not offered except the spaghetti bolognese and one other item. Those with small kids it's great for them if you go on a warm day. They can play outside. You may have a hard time actually getting them to eat. Only negative thing is the bathroom was dirty.

  Interesting concept where you have a library and a restaurant/bar in the same location. It's spread throughout the ground floor of the buildings located around a small square and the different rooms/building have different themes. Additionally, it has a nice outside where with tables.
  
  As a library I cannot judge it's quality but food it's good and tasty. In one of the restaurants, they have a really nice cheeseburger in focaccia with fries and salad on the side. My only comment about it is that it the meat could be more wide and a little less thick has it would make it easier to eat. Otherwise it was very good!
  
  Overall, a nice place to go for lunch or dinner, on a sunny or rainy day. Prices are the normal for Brussels (around 20-25€/person for a meal).

  The menu is quite simple and prices a bit high. Location is not very interesting. A shopping center and that's it.

  Cozy atmosphere, but I don't recommend the food there. Hygiene issues.

  As a comic fan, one of my favourite places to visit when going to Brussels. They have a broad collection of comics, graphic novels and manga. The only downpoint for me is that they're all in french.
  If comics isnt your thing, you can visit the other rooms, each one with a different theme, and different kind of literature.
  And in each room, you can eat as well.
  Not the cheapest place, but not expensive neither, and they offer great service in exchange.

  Wonderful experience to eat in a landscape of literature, taming your urge to browse the books that catch your eyes, tasting a savory dish and having a nice chat. The cocos soup is delicious. The Sunday brunch is a pleasant experience but the food is not always exquisite. There is also a toystore upstairs.
