Volle Gas is your go-to spot for a proper Belgian brasserie experience on Place Fernand Cocq. Think crispy frites, a solid kriek selection, and a terrace that's perfect for people-watching in Ixelles. The 90 Folies crew knows how to keep things straightforward—no pretension, just good food and drinks in a setting that feels like it belongs to the neighborhood.
Solid neighborhood brasserie
Volle Gas delivers exactly what you'd want from a neighborhood brasserie in Ixelles. The Place Fernand Cocq location puts you right in the heart of things, with a terrace that's perfect for sunny afternoons or evening drinks. The menu sticks to Belgian classics—frites that actually crisp up well, hearty main dishes, and a solid selection of local beers including their kriek. It's not trying to be fancy, and that's exactly the point. The service is friendly and efficient, and if you're planning a group event (they handle 15-200 people), they've got the logistics down. The Sunday brunch runs 10am-4pm and is a reliable choice for weekend gatherings. It's the kind of place you'll find yourself returning to when you want something familiar and well-executed without the pretension.
