About this place The blue

The blue is a busy restaurant at Rue du Marché aux Fromages 18, the short street of cheap eateries just south of the Grand-Place in Brussels. Reviewers praise the friendly, quick service; opinions on the food range from very good to just okay. It is a mainstream gay-friendly restaurant, not a gay venue. Prices are mid-range and it rates 4.6 on Google from about 6,800 reviews. It is a few minutes' walk from the Rue du Marché au Charbon gay bars, so it works for a meal before a night out there.

The Blue Restaurant has a great location near the Grand-Place and a nice, lively atmosphere. The staff were friendly and the service was good, but the overall experience was quite mixed. The food was okay, but nothing really stood out. and given the price I would have expected a bit higher quality. In conclusion, there are better options in Brussels
