Contrebande - Elsene

Really nice place for a drink in Ixelles. The staff was super friendly, the prices are affordable and there is a good selection of beer and wines. The outdoor terrace provides a very nice place on a beautiful day – gets a bit of sun, but protected from the wind. Had no chance to try one of the foods, but looking for everything that came to neighboring tables, the charcutier boards looked very delicious. The area itself offers a number of beautiful places to take a drink, so you can drink very easily here and try some interesting places in a row.

Nice place to have a herbal tea, coffee or beer. The location is characteristic and the staff is friendly

It's good. the waiters are french so they don't have to put up with the usual terrible Belgian service. they are really nice to them!

Nice place, great choice of beers. The staff seems passionate, as we weren't sure what to choose, they gave us 2 small glasses to try different beers before ordering. It was in the late afternoon so they didn't have the extended menu, but still they have some food, and even some vegan choice. Definitely recommend.

Went on a Saturday evening. It was buzzing but we didn't have a problem funding a table. V reasonably priced compared to similar in Brussels. Great selection of drinks, and perfect snacks to go with them (we had a cheese platter and saucisse seche). Would happily return.
