Woodpecker 47

I went to Woodpecker 47 for brunch and it did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious — hearty, well-presented, and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the combination of savory and comforting dishes, from the perfectly prepared eggs to the crispy bacon pancakes. The hot chocolate was a highlight — rich, smooth, and comforting, exactly what you’d want on a cozy morning. The staff were attentive and polite, which made the experience smooth and pleasant, even if service wasn’t overly personal. The café itself is clean and inviting, with a warm atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your meal. Overall, a great spot for brunch in Brussels — tasty food, good drinks, and a nice vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the city.

We stopped for a quick coffee which was exceptional but were so drawn by the great plates that we decided to stay a tad longer to grab a bite. It’s has a great menus and I missed taking the pictures of the avocado toast and the granola bowl, both of which we would highly recommend. And of course the highlight was the Burrata!!! I just hope the service was more efficient. We had long waits between our orders. I do hear it’s an amazing place for breakfast so that’s what we would do next!!

This breakfast spot serves phenomenal food—fluffy pancakes, perfectly poached eggs, and vibrant avocado toast burst with flavor. The coffee is rich, and the house-made granola is a wholesome gem. However, the service, especially at outdoor tables, disappoints. Staff are polite but rarely present, leaving diners waiting for orders, refills, or the bill. Empty plates linger, and water glasses stay dry, dimming the meal’s shine. The cozy outdoor setup deserves better attention. With improved service, this place could be a breakfast star.

I had the Pancake with bacon that was very good and was happy to see they did not skimp on amount of bacon on the pancake. Ate outside on beautiful day and enjoyed my time very much. Service was good, no complaints. As this is a touristy area, expect to pay 20-30 euro for 1 person with drink for brunch.

Absolutely the best savoury waffles I’ve had! The chorizo-flavoured waffles (which didn’t have bits in them) was very light and thin but yet perfect chewing/crispy texture. The only thing was that the goat cheese (the white sauce that is in the squares) were a bit too much and overpowering. I had to remove some of it but that’s a small matter of preference.
