Fish soup , crab cake , tuna steak (none of which I can pronounce in French but didn't matter because our waiter spoke at LEAST 5 languages) + wine ...probably my favorite meal in Europe so far.

The fish soup (5€) and tuna steak (13€), pictured here, were amazing, and the fish croquettes (9€) even better! Wine was delicious and cheap too (2,50€ a glass). Great place even in the November cold!

Martin Vrba

I tasted here one of the best and freshest prawns in my life. Also fried calamari are great. This is just one of the must-visit place in Brussels. Highly recommended

Michael 🇩🇪

fishy fastfood . the hype (especially about the croquets ) i dont understand. grilled tuna and salmon : very simple dish, but quality anyway is great. soup is interesting. staff extremely lovely.

Joshua Harris

Grilled muscles were amazing... Best I've ever had... Save your bread to dip and scoop the leftovers for OMG moments! Croquettes were great too, but the muscles ... Add wine and it will be amazing!

Sükrü Ozan Kiral

Fresh & high quality raw materials, well balanced cooking. Lovely district. You can find a fresh fish soup with fish , onions and celery in the morning. Just 6 euros. Instead of Michelin, try Noordzee.

Woof Dublin

Great little stand up tapas style place. The prawns (la planche) were amazing. I’d skip the croquettes that everyone is talking about. They’re €14 and not that mind blowing. The wine is awesome too!

Anna

A must in Brussels if you eat fish . There is no menu in English but the staff is really nice and ready to explain the options. Everything is super fresh and really tasty.

M T

Unbelievable how good this place is! I ate here everyday and just loved everything. You should not miss grilled prawns 🦐

Timothy Cohen

Noordzee is an institution in Brussels. Although it's a bit pricey , it's super tasty! Everything served here is amazing! Even the wines ! A must-taste!

Markus Reuter

You get amazing fish dishes at this food stand . Mussels , tuna steak , fried calamaris , especilly the shrimps with tomato sauce are incredible. Get a glass of cava with them and you can enjoy your day.

Joey Cortelli

Koutsolioutsos Dimitris

Perfect oysters ! Go for it! Every time in brussels is a must to stop!

Tobias Reiper

Counter-based fast food seafood by the street that has a great atmosphere and serves great food with wine !! A must try in Brussels!!

Bekir Ozbay

Great place for seafood and a quick meal . Tuna steak and shrimp croquette were great. Eating, while standing outside among the crowd is a great experience, especially when it's raining!

Alice Son

Best tuna stake I've ever had!! Super friendly staffs make the atmosphere even more lively . Try their amazing fish soup and crab burger .

Maina Khoja

Yummy fresh seafood ! Walking Bar style with Tiny indoor seating area,food either fried or panD grilled go for the a lobster soup not the fish !

Wai Kit Lai

Excellent seafood . Interesting way to order food, and standing to eat. Have a glass of white wine with good seafood ! 👍

Jennifer Hardi

Definitely must try the Tuna steak , the prawns and oysters next door! So so so fresh and delicious! Simply amazing

Laura Laussade

The biggest mistake here is to get their fried food when their fresh food is so amazing and so amazingly cooked. Razor clams are the best and the tuna is perfectly cooked.

Karel Maertens

Fresh, good fish . Every day the owner drives to the sea to ensure the quality of his product. Great experience!

Pauline Tamer

Definitely a lovely experience! We took everything left, not much since we arrived late! But they were delicious, especially the maatjes!

Ann Petrakova

The best place! Stuff are very cool, always running through the kitchen and screaming the names of orders!) very cool to see it, while drinking the wine and waiting for your order 💙

John Quist

Good for quick meal , soup contains a lot of fish , cheap but tasty white wine , the shrimps are tasty but small portion! Tuna steak tasted really good and nice big portion !

Michelle Choong

For someone who is not a fan of seafood , I give a thumbs up for this place. Wanted to try their tuna steak but it wasn't available as they serve what they caught. They have the freshest prawns there.

Penny Fyta

Amazing food fancy atmosphere! Try crispy fish and shrimps with wine (15 € the bottle) Try fish soup for sure! Totally worth it!

cansu ugurlu

One of the best places to eat sea food . Calamari and cerevette is the best. Beer is better than wine .

Kasia Koczułap

Fish soup is so tasty. Staff are nice and helpful. Crowded place and you must eat in outside, but worthy.

Alexandros Plexidas

You need to try this place especially if the sun is shining. Pick a glass of wine and some of the delicious options for fishes and enjoy!

Vivian

This crack ain't whack. Watch out for the servers. They're all charmers. And Willie will tell you everything you need to know about local Belgian beer .

Akil Cumberbatch

It's like a fish shop, except it's chic . Really great place for lunch , especially on a nice sunny day. Great food and great prices! Love it!

Travel + Leisure

Squeeze in amid the regulars at this outdoor fish stall—they’re all devouring massive plates of perfectly steamed mussels . More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c

You should stop by La Mee du Nord if you like seafood . Tasty fish ! Lovely atmosphere! It's close to Grand Place. Just cash, no credit card.

Cynthia vander Have

Great place for an apero and starter, especially when the sun is shining! However, even when raining and bit cold, you'll enjoy the atmosphere on the heated terrace .

Peter Zurich

Excellent. Love it. Must do on a sunny afternoon. Even in wintertime, though it's outside, it's good fun and the shrimps are delicious.

Gabriele Olgiati

Fantastic fresh fish : from the windows, directly in the stomach through the grill! Prices are fair and the ratio with quality very high!!

Varvara Obolonchykova

It’s an amazing place. The seafood is just great. We tried shrimps and mussels . Best I ever ate💜

Ayshea H

Best seafood place. Really fun experience and delicious solette and croquettes . The razor clams are amazing too!

The best fish snacks and tapas of Brussels!! Every day the freshest fish !! Try the fish soup ... 👌🏻

Passionate staff . Their coquilles saint jacques and croquette were bloody awesome. It's a shame that we forgot to try out their fish soup ...

Eleni🤖
