Cafe Francais sur Saint-Jans-Cappel

After a walk at Mont des Cats, here we are at the French café. Very well located restaurant with its sunny terrace. The service is quality thanks to Stefane and her joie de vivre. And finally we had mussels… and I highly recommend it because I have rarely eaten mussels this good.

Lieu sympa, bien situé. Mais repas très bof. La viande semble de bonne qualité, mais très mal préparée, entrecôte non dégraissée et bavette beaucoup trop cuite pour une cuisson saignante demandée. Plus beaucoup de choix par rapport à la carte proposée dû aux ruptures de stocks à 19h30. Vraiment pas exceptionnel pour le prix. Nous sommes déçus de notre repas.

Quite mixed on this restaurant, arriving at 12:50 p.m. today (Thursday 15/08) we had reservations, the children's dish had been sent when we arrived while we were having an aperitif, the children's dish arrived at 1:40 p.m. after having requested , and adult dishes at 2:30 p.m. To have something to drink you must not be dehydrated. We ask for a carafe of water at the bar, the gentleman is blowing so much that he coughs up his lungs, that's not too bad... But while waiting for the drinks with the heat the children were thirsty! Then, very good Caesar salad, however the entrecôte at €25 leaves something to be desired, the bone has disappeared, the entrecôte looks like a cobbler, very thick and small. But the waiter assures us that it’s a steak. This gentleman must not go to the butcher's shop often (photo of the rib-eye steak below, meat fan to abstain it is pitiful).. Mold breaks at 1 p.m. it's hot.. The homemade chocolate mousse for €7 was hard as a rock (still frozen?) In short, we won't be going back. The wait is forgiven in view of the crowd, but the quality of the meals (except the Caesar salad) and the friendliness of the staff leaves something to be desired. (Luckily the young guy running everywhere and the young brunette with long hair are really nice, I think the management can give them a bonus without them we would have left before even having meals, especially the young brunette who is very very nice! Unlike to his older colleague) at almost 140€ the bill for 4 adults and 2 children we are disappointed. Paying this price for what you got is meh, especially with staff who are angry. The man who said "we are ashamed" no I assure you you are not ashamed, a full restaurant is difficult to manage, but I think that with more competent and above all motivated staff, this would be better.

An address to try if you are passing through Mont Noir! Quality, diverse cuisine, fresh and no-fuss products! A service team with a good mood, just like we like to see in Flanders! I will definitely go back!

Cheaper than the Belgian part of this street

Welcome Always pleasant and be sure to have a good time in the conviviality 😊 Wide choice of Belgian beers but also French for connoisseurs 😉 The catering is called brasserie. The dishes are varied and typical of Flanders. The dishes are copious for more than reasonable prices 😊 Thanks to the boss Jean Marie and his entire efficient and helpful team. To see to do and do again always with pleasure 🍻

Nice stop, best picon in the region.

Good restaurant Very pleasant staff, we had a good time, recommend

Too bad our mussel dish was a little cold. Otherwise they were good and well cooked

Very warm welcome and good brasserie, I recommend.....
