Woodpecker St. Cath. - Brussels

Nice cozy place, but can get very busy. I was lucky to get seat without having to queue up but saw lots of people queue afterwards. The food is quite nice, but the service could also be improved (I was blanked twice by same waiter who went to other guests despite me being in queue first).

Very chill atmosphere, and you have to wait in line on weekends. Good breakfast place; I especially liked pancakes. Fluffy and tasty.

Food was less than average not seasoned properly and tasteless, we had the chicken egg Benedict and pancakes and didn’t like either. Customer service was awful we had to ask many times to take our orders it takes them 20 minutes just to take the order and take 45 minutes to get it ready! Even people who seated after us they took they orders and served them before. We asked them few times to take the orders and keep saying they will come soon, same for order ask few times if it wasn’t ready we will leave and they keep saying 5 minutes until the 45 minute time pass. They didn’t even give salt and pepper.

Lovely place for breakfast/brunch. The coffee was good and I really enjoyed my French toast the bread was perfectly caramelised.

Unreasonably long waiting time. 20 minutes to take our order, another 20 minutes to get our beverages (3 teas and juice), just to mention that tea was handmade and didn’t infuse art all, another 15 minutes to receive the food. Food was very nice and good, so was staff, but likewise it is in pain quotidien with 10x faster service and same delicious food. We wanted to try something new but wasn’t worth it.
