    We enjoyed our Valentines Day dinner very much. Starting with the lobster bisque for both of us, then my wife had her favorite the chicken vol-au-vent and I had the special moules frites with a whiite wine / blue cheese sauce (which I liked al lot! and hope they add it to the full time menu). Best of all: their selection of Belgian beers was excellent. I had Westmalle Triple which is difficult to find in NYC. All in all it was a great meal :-)

    Another wonderful time at B cafe. Burger was great as are the fries. Can't understand why people stand out in the rain or snow at JG Melon when you can an equally great burger and much much better fries here. Also B Cafe Chicken Vol au Vent is incredible. Great bear selection and reasonable priced wine, Dont get me wrong I love JG Melon's burger and go from time to time....but I won't wait in line. Walk up to 75th street turn right, walk half a block and go down the steps....et voila!. best, CC

    Great food and vibes. Service was slow and we had to flag the waiters multiple times to put in our food order.

    What a delightful find! A friend and I chose to try B. Cafe for lunch and an opportunity to catch up. We had a delicious lunch and a relaxing time to spend together. We try the outdoor garden to dine in when the weather warms. We will be back!

    One of our favorite places. It makes you feel like you are in a bistro in Brussels. Food, service, ambience and value are all wonderful.
