Brussel’s Cafe

Now called l’Entracte, everything this restaurant serves is delicious. Ate one of the best foie gras I ever had, and the best fish stew I ever had. I was sadly too full for dessert, but they looked delicious.

Great service, amazing mussels, Muscadet that could not be a better pairing, cozy, and delicious. Finished the evening twice with local Absinthe from Combrier. Perfect choice to dine if you are staying at the Hotel Mercure.

Un avis aujourd’hui sur un autre restaurant (Brasserie) que j’apprécie particulièrement à Saumur. J’ai nommé le Brussel’s Café. Très accessible par son positionnement puisqu’à moins de 2 minutes à pied des parkings sur berge, il est situé juste en face du théatre ce qui en fait un endroit de choix en cas de petite fringale après le ciné, le théâtre ou l’après-midi shopping avec sa douce. Une carte variée, un personnel sympathique, des moules-​frites et des tartines délicieuses, avec en récompense finale un café gourmand d’exception. Seul inconvénient qui lui coûte à mon avis une demi-​étoile, le service qui peut s’avérer un peu long certains soirs de grandes affluences. C’est le lot des bons restaurants je pense et celui-​ci en fait clairement partie.

Brussel’s Café is a Belgian theme bar /​restaurant located in the heart of Saumur.
Open from 12 Noon, serving lunch until 2 pm, open all day but serving dinner from 6pm onwards, Brussels is an ideal place to pop into for a gorgeous coffee or glass of cool Leffe at any time of day!
Food is superb. The Café is well known for it’s Moules et Frites, which are served (when in season) in substantial portions with a variety of delicious sauces. Fish features highly on the menu, and the grilled king prawns with basil tagiliatelle are highly recommended. Portions are more than adequate — I ordered a salmon fillet with rice and salad, and the fillet was easily twice the size of one generally served back home. Belgian delicacies such as Sauerkraut and sausages are also in abundance!
Dinner for 4, with alcoholic drinks and 3 starters came in at 100 euros, which for the amazing service, friendly and helpful staff and plentiful bread refills is an amazing price! Very highly recommended.
(Main courses from 7 euros — 12 euros approx. Beers approximately 2 — 3 euros). Limited parking outside, but main carpark just down to the right, in front of the Mayoral buildings (free after 7pm).
