I ate a good meal at Brasserie Beck in mid-December 2009. I started with the watercress soup, which is presented very elegantly: the waiter brings you a bowl in the middle of which is a small pile of diced onion, topped with two slices of speck (dried smoked ham). Then he carefully pours the soup around it. The soup is... more

I usually travel to DC three times a year and this is the first place I head to. Having eaten brunch, lunch and dinner here, I can say I have never had a so-so meal. It is all fantastic, but my favorite is their brunch. Their gruyere and baby spinach omelet, with a side order of fritas is delicious! Accompany... more

It is wonderful to visit the USA these days and actually have a good meal. This restaurant serves great food delivered with friendly and attentive service and has a great atmosphere.

Brasserie Beck offers a stunning array of premium Belgian beers and ales, many on tap, and has sans doute the finest mussels in the Washington DC market. Our views have been confirmed by repeated visits over more than a year. We love the place. more

This is a great little spot on K Street. The beer list is wonderful. The staff was great and pointing out tasty brews to try. The food was incredible. It was pricey but well worth it. Next best thing to going to Brussels! more

Not cheap, but the beer selection and staff knowledge were fantastic. more

Ate outside on a beautiful day. Had items from the brunch menu. Belgian waffle was amazing. Bread was good. Omelette with smoked salmon was just ok, I guess I don't like smoked salmon actually in my omelette I learned. Service was mostly good. more

I thought the food was well-prepared, but we didn't feel like we got good value for the money. The waiter seemed more like the kind of person you'd encounter at a family dining establishment -- nice person trying hard, but unpolished. The main dishes at about $25 per person were probably reasonably priced for a big city, but $14 for... more
