Lively EU Quarter pub-restaurant for beer lovers and steak-on-stone, with friendly vibes, slow kitchens at busy times, and solid mid-range prices.
Le Coin du Diable excels as a neighborhood pub-restaurant with a distinctive beer program and strong staff expertise in beer selection and service. Steak on stone and hearty pub classics earn consistent praise, though occasional misses with certain dishes and variable execution prevent higher performance. The lively EU Quarter location and fair value make it a solid choice for beer lovers and casual diners, but kitchen pacing during peak hours and limited dietary flexibility temper the overall experience.
A bustling corner pub-restaurant in the EU Quarter, Le Coin du Diable draws office regulars and beer fans with warm, lively energy. Reviewers highlight an impressive beer list, proper glassware, and staff who pour with care—one guest raved about a perfectly served aged Orval. Expect a casual crowd, friendly banter, and after-work buzz that can stretch late. Do note that kitchens can back up at peak times, so patience pays off. The cooking leans classic pub comfort—steak on a hot stone, croques, wings, pastas—executed for hearty satisfaction rather than show. Fans praise the steak on stone and portion sizes; critiques cluster around a non-traditional Caesar and occasionally greasy fries. Beer is the star: fair prices for the area, broad selection, and some aged bottles poured correctly. This suits diners who value great beer with solid pub plates over culinary fireworks. For families, the menu offers familiar, kid-friendly options like chicken wings, croques, pasta bolognese, fries, and waffles. There is no clear kids menu and the room can be lively, but earlier hours work well. Vegan choices are limited; one group reported staff allowed a vegan to order food from elsewhere, a considerate gesture but not a guarantee. If you need strict vegetarian or vegan options, consider alternatives or confirm before visiting.
