A bustling bar/restaurant with a great setting. Brilliant food, plenty of choice as well (and great for intolerances/Vegetarian/Vegan options too). Staff were attentive and friendly, and even on a busy Saturday evening food and drink didn't take long to arrive.

Brel is always a top choice when visiting the west end. Popped in on sat for some a quick bite and a few drinks, it's often busy in here but there is a good atmosphere. The menu selection is quite varied and the mussels are famous here, this time i opened for the truffle aoli poutine, parmesan and black pepper with extra buttermilk chicken although for the additional cost for the chicken and the amount that came I'm not sure I'd bother in future - still lovely though! I have also marked 1 star off for service as it took us a bit of trying to get someone's attention to get our bill because it was a bit noisy and we couldn't seem to catch anyone near our table but no huge issue.

We had a really nice and calm Tuesday evening at one of the firepits. You can hire the firepit and get a full bottle of prosecco, and smores for 24. As it wasn't very crowded we were even able to get extra smores. Very nice staff and lovely beer garden. Great idea for a date night!

I love Brel. Moules Frites every time with the delicious soda bread for mopping up the sauce. Also love their selection of beers taking me back to my visit to Brussels and Bruges. Very nice indoor and outdoor seating with option to hire a firepit. Great beer garden.

Went to Brel for a birthday meal and had a great time. Seated in the terrace and although the weather was not the best the heaters, food & atmosphere made up for this. Kids loved it and Coco had a great time as well.

Visited here for the Easter chocolate fondue! It certainly did not disappoint my 5yr old son!! My wife and I had some soup (French onion, and Curried Carrot Coriander) both were delicious, and served with thick cut Sourdough! We will return, no doubt next time just as adults, and sit outside with the fire pits etc.
