ReviewsExcellent food, service not rushed, but noisy Every food item was excellent, we never felt rushed (although the bread could have come before we had to ask, but it was very busy). Only problem: we were seated near the bass speaker, and that's all we heard of the music, the bass (and a little loud). I wish they played French music; the restautant IS Belgian (Dutch & Flemish), and there was a Jacque Brel poster right near us.

We finally had a chance to try "Le Mannequin Pis" in April 2003 for the first time, while my sister was visiting from Belgium. We have it made our regular restaurant when we're in the mood for excellent Belgian food. The atmosphere, service and the food are excellent. I highly recommend the smoked salmon appetizer or the mushroom brioche followed by the mussels. The owner Bernard Dehaene always takes the time to check on his customers and to make sure they are enjoying their food. I highly recommend this restaurant. Reservations are highly recommended because even on a Tuesday night the restaurant was very busy.

A must go!!!! A FEW WORDS --- BEST EVER!!!!! A must go!!!! Food Rating [10/10] Service Rating [10/10] Ambiance Rating [10/10] Wish I had tried it sooner! I had been meening to try it about a year ago when I first saw a write-up in Washingtonian. Ordered appetizers (mushroom brioche and pan seared sea scalops) and entres (braised lamb special and salmon) off the menu before I realized how good the mussels must be. The resteraunt is quite cozy and tables for two were squeezed into awkward positions; we were right next to the greeting area but it wasn't bad at all in the long run. Next time I'll be sure to bring a couple of friends. Otherwise, the food was fantastic and the wait staff assisted with some beer selections, which were excellent. Met with the owner as we were stepping out...a pleasant surprise. Although we didn't get a chance to try it, we heard someone order the mussels with double goat cheese, double bacon, and double garlic. It will be the first thing I order when I return at my earliest opportunity! I had been meening to try it about a year ago when I first saw a write-up in Washingtonian.
