Delivery · Takeout
A lively Ixelles steakhouse with standout fries and solid beef cuts, but inconsistent service and occasional sinewy steaks; good if you time it right and order wisely.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
La Meute delivers competitive steakhouse quality with excellent Irish sirloin and fries that earn loyal repeat visits, but inconsistent meat execution—ranging from tender to sinewy—and polarized service experiences prevent it from reaching grade A territory. The tight, crowded room and occasional service rigidity temper what could otherwise be a stronger neighborhood destination in Ixelles.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels cozy and buzzing, set just off a lively Ixelles square where bar chatter spills onto the street. Servers are often friendly and eager to explain cuts, with one diner noting, "The manager walked us through the beef and cuisson." However, experiences vary: a few guests describe frosty welcomes or difficulty combining tables, and the no-reservations line can build fast. The cooking leans classic steakhouse: Irish sirloin and perfect fries, rich bone marrow, and pepper or bearnaise on the side. When the butchery and cuisson line up, the meat is tender and satisfying; on off nights, a handful of reviews report gristle or overcooking. It suits diners who value ingredient-first plates over flashy technique, and there is a Sunday deal pairing a croquette with a 220g steak for a fair price. Families should do fine here thanks to a kids plain burger, familiar sides, and simple sauces. A vegetarian burger and a seasonal vegetable plate help mixed groups, though the menu is meat-forward. For young or picky eaters, fries and a plain burger are safe; adventurous items like bone marrow are optional, not required.
