C’est au début du XXe siècle que commence l’histoire de la famille Veulemans à Bruxelles. En 1902, Calixte Veulemans arrive dans la capitale où il travaille comme « garçon ». En 1921, il rachète le n°13 de la Rue des Bouchers, un établissement qui porte déjà le nom « Aux Armes de Bruxelles », et en fait rapidement un restaurant haut de gamme. Au début des années 1970, Jacques Veulemans, l’un des fils de Calixte, reprend l’affaire, et la brasserie bruxelloise connait alors deux décennies fastes, contribuant à la réputation festive du centre de Bruxelles. En 2006, la famille Veulemans revend l’affaire ; le restaurant belge sera ensuite repris en 2018 par Rudy Vanlancker, propriétaire de Chez Léon, autre institution gastronomique de Bruxelles.
Elegant restaurant opened in 1921, with leaded windows, serving Brussels cuisine, including mussels.

I am not sure when Michelin last visited this restaurant, but maybe a review visit is long overdue? Very much a case of “hit and miss” – way too many misses.
Hits:
Service from the Pakistani waiter was perfect – attentive and caring (sorry I did not get a name).
“Trio of Belgian specialities” – a good main course idea, unfortunately under seasoned (if seasoned at all).
Misses:
Bread rolls cold.
Plates cold.
Water topped up by ourselves.
Table not cleaned in-between courses.
Seasoning did not exist in any dish! Come on. Take the salt and pepper off the tables and have the chef taste the food and have the guts to actually SEASON!
Pepper sauce had way to many black peppercorns in it. It was inedible and I sent it back asking the chef to taste it. It literally burnt your mouth! This was replaced with a more subtle mushroom sauce.
Some staff seemed to be going through the motions with zero emotion or attempt to show any signs of actual interest.
Whilst this might well remain a “Michelin mentioned” restaurant, it really needs to up its game.
Final point – we see you only reply to the good reviews on sites. Here’s an idea, respect and treat all reviews equally and respond to everything in a proper manner.

Chance upon this well lit restaurant at the corner and was impressed with the decor and ambience. Check the reviews and they’re quite good so made a reservation to check it out. Served by a nice server named Mr Radhi who was very friendly and helpful to introduce their popular dishes and ordered them. Service was excellent and fast and what’s more important is they’re delicious and really enjoyed my New Year’s Day dinner at this Michelin Guide restaurant. I also ordered their famous house crepe prepared on the spot by their server with some showcase of their little cooking and “fire display” and the dessert taste so so good.
Highly recommended to check this place out and hope to come back again next trip to Brussels.

Booked a dinner reservation for my parter’s birthday , showed up a couple of hours late but they were gracious to still allow sitting . We were moved from a regular table to a somewhat larger table . I Had some Chicken meal as the main and the chicken croquette for starter plus tiramisu for dessert. The whole course was delicious. My partner had the lamb rack with baked potatoes and he said he liked it . Overall it was a beautiful evening . Sajhar the manager was very pleasant and patient with us . Crowd management was superb . Price range is ok according to Brussels standard lol.

We had dinner at Aux Armes de Bruxelles, a traditional brasserie serving both Belgian and French cuisine during Summer holiday. The place was full of charm and had such a welcoming buzz. Our server was nice and helpful. When we ordered steak tartar, he made sure we knew the this was a cold dish and also provided suggestions for us. Also, the bread was so tasty and he quickly refilled another pieces to us once finished.
We treated ourselves to Belgian favorites—beef stew with frites and a local beer—while also enjoying French delicacies like frog legs and escargots. A truly memorable meal!

Aux Armes de Bruxelles is a reliable choice for classic Belgian–French cuisine.
We had lobster pasta, escargots, sole, and fish soup; all dishes were well prepared with solid technique and good-quality ingredients.
The service deserves special mention: Mr. Zain was genuinely friendly, attentive, and helpful, which added a lot to the overall experience.
A consistent and enjoyable dining option in central Brussels.

We had our reservation for lunch yesterday. The foods were amazing. The waiter was very friendly and polite. The shrimp croquettes were absolutely superb. I had the mussels and fries which was very tasty. Highly recommended

Enjoyed a lovely meal at this restaurant.
The service is quick and highly attentive.
You got what you paid for.
The poached cod fish here is very fresh. The steak is incredibly juicy and cooked to perfection, but the mussels truly stand out as the best dish.
This place is worth a visit over the nearby famous restaurant. I strongly suggest this place.

Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the food was a letdown. I ordered the beef tartare and the white wine moules-frites. The tartare was really good, but the mussels were dry, bland, and lacked flavor. Given how pricey the restaurant is, I probably wouldn’t recommend it.

This was my best dining experience in Brussels. The food was incredible — the rack of lamb was the most tender and flavorful I’ve ever had. The waiter was kind, welcoming, and highly professional. The prune lamb shank was also outstanding, as was the delicious soup of the day. They offer great draft beers on tap and a very good house red wine.
The restaurant itself is spacious, with high ceilings and elegant wooden décor in a classic style that truly creates a fine dining atmosphere. Despite being located in one of the busiest and most touristy parts of town, this place feels calm, refined, and genuinely special. A real hidden gem — 10 out of 10!
