Cock Bowl Belgian Bistro - OCCOQUAN

The restaurant was very nice, feeling like a home and the food was excellent. The mussels dishes were huge and extra tasty. My waitress was very helpful and helped us put our orders I love this place and I will definitely bring some friends and family next time.

Food was just ok. Mostly everything was bland but worst of all is the place was filled With fruit flies and had them diving in my plate during dinner. We moved tables but it was still gross. They had an open bowl of what I suppose was apple cider vinegar to attract them to the bowl but let’s be honest, they shouldn’t seat people in a room with that. They were crawling all over the walls. Just gross! Kid-friendliness: No kids menu.

We’ve been here twice. Food is middling, good atmosphere The mussels and beer menu are definitely among the best part. Unfortunately the food is middling and there need to be more complete options. Like options for sides. The waffle is just one waffle and nothing comes with it. I left still hungry. And the charcuterie is rolls of lunch meat that doesn’t really come with anything else. To get a full charcuterie and cheeseboard would be upwards of $30. The staff are very friendly and the patio is really nice when the weather is nice.

The area is always enjoyable, and we ate outside on a great weather day. Our server was new and did a decent job, but he lacked some knowledge so I can’t give the full 4 stars. The food was good as well. Cheese plate didn’t quite impress, but not bad either. The only real thing holding back a 5 star is that none of our group had a “I want THAT again!” type meal. Minority review: The area has a wealthy, white, retired hippie vibe. So not a lot of color around, but no issues either. Wheelchair accessibility: Bathroom was on the second floor, no elevator that I saw. Outdoor area has steps. There is one outdoor spot that may be accessible in a pinch

Food is excellent. Drink is better. The mood/stimmung of everybody you interact with here is the best. My new home away from home.
