Honest neighborhood fast-food with Bulgarian flair
Au P'tit creux is what it is: a no-frills fast-food spot on Place Saint-Josse that does a surprisingly decent job across multiple cuisines. The pizza is the crowd favorite — nothing artisanal, but solid, generously topped, and ready in minutes. They also do tacos and Bulgarian grillade, which sets them apart from the generic fritture crowd in the neighborhood. At around €14 a head, you'd be hard-pressed to find a cheaper sit-down meal in central Brussels.
The welcome is genuinely warm, which matters. Multiple reviewers highlight the friendly service and the cleanliness of the place — two things you can't always take for granted in this category. The terrace has 35 seats, making it a pleasant option for a sunny lunch or a cheap dinner when you can't be bothered to cook.
It's not a destination restaurant. The 3.9 Google rating is honest — this is dependable, fast, and cheap rather than memorable. But if you live or work near Saint-Josse and want a quick, friendly meal that won't empty your wallet, Au P'tit creux delivers exactly what it promises. Go for the pizza, stay for the welcome.
