Pistolet in Brussels is a spot I keep coming back to whenever I’m in town. They serve classic Belgian pistolet sandwiches, simple, fresh, and delicious. The “Americain” with raw beef is a must-try, but there are plenty of other great options too. Friendly staff, cute space, and always a solid choice for a quick, tasty bite!

The international tour continues and now ‘Swiss Note’ has decided to look for afternoon brunch. I would like a breakfast roll, bagel, baguette type…..fast breakfast with only one place on my mind here in Brussels, ‘Pistolet Original’. Now you all also know me as the ‘French Toast Connoisseur’ unfortunately I haven’t found that here yet but I’m sure it’s coming soon look out somewhere on this international review tour. ‘Pistolet Original’ nice team, confident workers that took my order and I could tell they knew I’d be more than happy. Beautifully cooked French-style scrabbled eggs (if you know, you know!) on top of a soft yet well toasted bun/roll with sausages perfectly cooked and another top bun to make a wonderful early afternoon brunch. Simple, compact and delicious food, that I returned for twice ordering the same thing on this trip. “The connoisseur knows what he likes.” and this was it!

Amazing pistolet! It is something that we often eat on Sundays, but it’s so refreshing to eat it with other ingredients ! Buns are also bigger than a year ago, I think?? Everything is fresh and portions are perfect for a quick lunch. Original, fast, affordable, delicious !
