Awesome Belgian food ..paradise for the non veg lovers.Loved the theme and decor.

Samrat Sanyal

Three strikes for three orders:
1. Cajun Fish - the ultimate Bekti experience
2. Beefsteak done medium - flawless execution, sauce, veggies and mash
3. Belgian Beef Stew - silky, velvety, pepper-y stew of perfect consistency with melt-in-your-mouth beef cubes, potato, carrots and Boiled raw guava.

Portions more than sufficient for someone hungry (but not gluttonous). Great decor, great service, adequate Covid-safety measures. Recommended!

The food was excellent and despite the pandemic situation, the food has maintained its quality. Personal recommendation: tequila prawns, fried prawns and coq au vin. Best meal in a long time.

Are you a fan of comics? If yes, then you must have heard of Herge’s eternal creation- Tintin. Else do you like to taste unique European cuisine? Then you have come to the right review, we will give you the direction to a beautiful restaurant. Paromita and I were searching for something like this for some time. Then suddenly we found this Gem in the midst of Kolkata city,a world of Tintin. Even the bill/check folder/box has Tintin and friends painting.

What took me to the place was it’s name. Being an ardent fan of the famous reporter I had always wished there was some themed restaurant based on TinTin. Needless to say the place has kept upto my expectations. Prof. calculus welcomes you to this cozy eatery in the south of Calcutta near gariahat. TinTin figurines, a showcase of collectibles the famous red coloured rocket of TinTin comics and a wall decorated as Belgium night street surely tickles the fan in you. Coming to food the restaurant gives delectable belgian, italian and seafood options to choose from. I had started my journey with fried calamari and beer battered chicken followed by a succulent chicken sizzler teamed with herbed rice and sautéed veggies and finished the gastronomic delight with Mascarpone Cheese cake with Rum. There are plenty of other options to choose from within affordable range. They also have live music being used played on some days. Courteous staffs coupled with nice music will definitely urge you to come back for more. You may also end up meeting the TinTin fans club who keeps visiting the place. If you are looking for a good and cozy eatery within budget with range of options to choose from i’m sure this cafe will definitely make u feely gastronomically satisfied and if you are a TinTin fan then what’s stopping you to visit the first TinTin themed restaurant of the city.

We just fell in love with Tintin and Brussels Club on our very first visit on 15th February, 2020. They had announced special menu for the valentine weekend. The ambience of the place, the decor based on Tintin was lovely. The Tintin special shake as mocktail was wonderful. The Chimichurri Bhetki and Beer batter fry chicken as starters were heavenly. We had Beef stew, New Zealand Lamb Chop and Chicken Meat Ball for main course as guided by the staff. The display and the taste of all the items were highly satisfying. Belgian honey waffles as dessert and complementary choco and lemon tarts were more than yummy. Will certainly recommend this place to all my friends.

We found this place, luck by chance and we don't regret it all. The place is more of a cafe themed with one of my most favorite comics of Tintin, thus, I enjoyed the ambiance. The place is well lit and has good seating arrangement. 3 rooms each themed uniquely with Tintin, Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus. We heard that on a specific day there is a live piano music here but unfortunately we missed it.
Now coming to the food we ordered:

Salad:
1. Farmhouse di pork (5/5): The salad was wholesome. Pork is my all time favourite meat so I especially loved this salad. It was fresh and had large chunks of pork salami.

Main course:
2. Belgian ala Lobster (4/5): It was good. Though a little costly because they prepare it according to the size of the fish available that day, but it was cooked brilliantly. It was served with a portion of veggies, sauted and seasoned alongwith potato wedges. The wedges were not good and I could smell the oil in which they were cooked which made it soggy.

Desserts:
3) Mascarpone Cheesecake (3/5): My friend tasted it and found the texture to be very different from the normal Cheesecake we have. It looked soft. The texture and flavour can be improved.

4) Mascarpone Ice cream (4/5): I had this as my dessert. Though I could not taste the flavour of Mascarpone cheese specifically in my ice cream, it had a lot of dry fruits in it which gave it a wonderful texture and flavour.

Overall I liked the food there. The seafood is a speciality of this place. We were recommended to try the mussels of this place but as we were too full, we decided to try it on our next visit.

Only downside is that they take a lot of time to serve. Other than that it was all good. The staffs were less in number so even after asking for water for so many times, they were not able to keep up with it. Food was great especially pork spare ribs!

Wanted to try turkey and came to know this place is serving it. Given an order over the phone for a takeaway. Tried Pineapple chees ham salad, Roast turkey in cranberry sauce, Belgian stuffed turkey with bacon and shrimps and Belgian Pork Chops. All the dishes were lipsmacking and delicious. One complaint is there quantity. It's not so bad but not enough compared with the price. The place as the name suggests is decorated in Tin Tin comics style. They had packed the vegetables separately and food packing was good. The salad had a seet taste, the roast was soft to perfection, pork chops were also delicate and had a smoky taste nd the winner was stuffed turkey. All these for Rs.2900. They deserve 5 stars if not for the less quantity. Overall fully recommended

Visited this place twice. So, here's a quick review

1. Ambience: will make you nostalgic. Pretty, cozy, quaint with two separate rooms themed as "tintin and snowy" and Captain Haddock. Live piano performance on select days.

2. Staff is courteous, friendly.

3. Food is great, the only downside being your order will take longer to arrive than expected. The restaurant may be a little short on staff.
What we we had were Chicken cream of mushroom soup, chicken permeato, a prawn starter, pasta Alfredo, turkey steak in Belgian style, mascarpon ice-cream, Belgian ice-cream.
All were good. Though i didn't enjoy the mascarpon ice-cream too much.

Price: A bit expensive.

All in all a good place to go to with friends and family. :)

My friend and me were passing by Golpark and were real hungry. So we went to this place located in the lane of Kimbadanti. It is a small cafe but we loved the decor and ambience of this place. Staff were real courteous. We were asked about our experience over there by the owner herself. We just ordered a pizza. Had to wait a bit but then the pizza was made in Belgian style and it tasted nice. Will definitely go back to this place and try something more.

The Tintin theme is really designed properly. The place feels like home. I liked the design of the menu and the bill box. We ordered lobster and a mock tail ice and fire, really tasty and mouth watering, must try. There a 3 zones named as Tintin place, Professor Calculus place and Captain Hadock place. Courteous staff, pleasing environment. Go for a date 😊

What a place. What a place.

Great great ambiance(10/10). Old country music is playing in background and amusing backgrounds for taking perfect snaps. There are different sides where you can take selfies.

Behavior of the staff are so impressive. Tohey showed us better place for photographs. An women may be the owner is so well behaved. She roming every ones table and asking about the food, and you are felling there. Thats so great.

Foods.. woow. Crispy calamari is bit of rubbery type(5/10). Coating is very crisp. Chicken steak is average (8/10). But the best thing is Pork belgian Chicory(10/10). Soo good. So mouth watering food i ever had. Do try it.

Located in Gariahat, Tintin and the Brussels Club is a hidden gem of a place. It's hard to spot from the road tucked away inside a building. The small path leading to the restaurant has walls decorated with Tintin related art work. The decor and ambience inside is fascinating. A large mural depicting scenes from Belgian streets with characters from Tintin comics adorns one of the walls. Small figurines are set up nicely on racks. The Tintin theme displayed with enthusiasm in everything including the menu. The seating arrangements are cosy. The service is polite and prompt although you must be patient and wait for your food. The 'Friets' (Belgian French Fries) are amazing. The Chimichurri Chicken is also good for the subtlety of it's flavour though to be frank I have tested better Pesto sauce accompanying the dish. The shakes and other beverages are good too. A great place to take your kids to and introduce them to Tintin, they've plush toys for younger children and books for older ones. As a life long fan of Tintin comics this place was like a dream come true.

A wonderful themed cafe, a must visit for Tintin lovers in the town. Best part, the food is excellent. Probably the only place in the city to have some Belgian delicacies, in a rather saturated cafe scene serving the same fare in the name of Continental cuisine. We ordered Pork Chicory; ham, bacon, and veggies baked in a white sauce with cheese, kind of similar to augratin. But irrespective of the familiarity, it tasted brilliant, chunks of pork meat and a while salami slice in a sauce whose texture was cheesy and gooey, a cheese lover's heaven. Also ordered Pollo Basilico: chicken breast stuffed with spinach, served with mushroom pesto sauce, along with mashed potatoes and sauteed veggies. A wonderful subtle yet flavorful dish, the pesto sauce being the highlight of the dish. All the elements come together nicely and the mashed potato is one of the best in town.
The portion sizes are huge, one dish is more than sufficient for one person. So, overall, a really good experience with a dash of nostalgia thrown in. Definitely recommended.

With a location at a place like Gariahat, u tend to think that this place is situated amidst the buzz of the busy market, but no it isn't. Though the place is situated in one of the bylanes from the Gariahat market, but this place is free from all the sorts of chaotic buzz of the market. The ambience has a pragmatic look, with images of Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock all over the walls of the place. There is a a room of Tintin and Snowy, which are the dining places and a room of Captain Haddock, which is the bar area. Every Saturday there is a piano concert, that is held in Capt. Haddock's room.

My first interaction with the place was through an article which was published on t2 on the eve of the restaurant's inauguration. One of my most anticipated places, which is recommendable too. Pocket pinch is about Rs. 500 per head. Now let's know about the food.

The staff behaviour was really good. They were really very friendly and they guided us all through the three rooms in the restaurant. The service was prompt too.

Hygiene - 5/5.
Food - 4/5.
Staff behaviour - 4.5/5.
Ambience - 4.5/5.
Value for money - 4.8/5.

It's a nice place to chill with friends. And if you're a tintin fan, you're going to love this place. The waiters are very polite and service is pretty quick. The lady who owns the place came over to our table to ask if everything was okay and that's a very nice touch I would say.

We ordered Belgian fried chicken, bacon wrapped prawn, pasta alfredo, chicken steak, tarts and cheesecake. I loved loved loved the pasta.

But the cheesecake was so horrible that we had to send it back. Overall it was a good experience but I think the quantity of the food could have been better compared to the price.

A place worthy of visiting again and again.
Foods I had:
Crab- average
Pork chop - good
Beef stew - very good
Herb rice - good
Lobsters- out of the world
Apple beer mousse- no word is enough
Loved the place n the owner/stuff.

Lovely place. Minimalist decor. Barnali, the owner is really welcoming, staff are courteous and polite. Service is prompt. Food is real good, dishes are diverse. Sublime cooking, light and tasty, not the typical heavy spicy oily pork dishes we come across. Also among the few places which serve both beef and pork. As the name suggests, Belgian cuisine.

Pictures are of the ongoing International Pork Festival.

Worth every penny.

As soon as I entered the restaurant I was greeted by this beautiful lady who suppose was the owner of the place. I must say that smile was really wonderful. She was extremely sober and very cheerful. As so was her place, the restaurant. The staffs were really prompt in their service and courteous. The decor was classy and the ambience was great. Outstanding menu and so was the food. I really enjoyed every bite of ever food I had. Starting from chicken chimnichurri as appetizer to Pollo Bassilica as main course. Overall it was an amazing time there. A tintin fan must visit here. 💞💕

A marvellous place for all those who love to try new things. We ordered the following
1. Belgian style roasted farm duck
2. Chicken fondue
3. Pork Belgian chikory

The duck had a unique taste to it. They serve one-fourth of a duck in a plate which is a sufficient quantity for two. It was served with braised onion and mushrooms and was prepared on a pepper mushroom sauce. Awesome!!

Chicken fondue was my first ever try. It was one of its kind. I specially liked the method in which it was served. It was all through cheesy with bits of fried chicken dipped in the sauce. One of its kind.

Overall, an unforgetful experience. Would like to visit again and try the other dishes.

Keep up !

It was not an winter evening, it was bot raining too. Still we were having fondue with prawn accompaniment seating at a bistro at Brussels and listening Beethoven on piano. I and my friends were at this Tintin & Brussels Club last evening.

The entry passage, exterior and cutouts of the characters from Tintin justifies the first part of the name very well. Interior walls and decor justifies the 2nd part, Brussels. Live piano at the weekends adds more value to it.

To eat we had seafood chowder soup first. It was nice and flavourful. One piece garlic bread added spice to the dish. Next order was fondue with prawn and bread stick. Fondue was not up to the mark as it had a lot of pan made white sauce or butter fried flower and milk mixture. It was disappointing. Then we ordered pork spare ribs and Ostend fish. Spare ribs were nice but the portion was less compare to other place of same standard. Fish was nice with the sauce and decor.

I loved the theme based decor and ambience more than the food itself but definitely wish to be there again to taste more. Fondue needs to be improved. It is much below than expected.

Definitely a different and good overall experience. Owner is a nice and cordial host. Staffs are polite and friendly.

Recommended strongly for the foodies and Tintin fans like me.

A very different experience both in terms of ambience and cuisine. The staff was very friendly.
As for the food, bacon wrapped chiken was amazing and I'd say is a must try. The mussels tasted good too.
We had ordered pudding for dessert. Even though it tasted great, but the texture was not like a pudding but more like choco lava cake.

Visited this hidden gem twice now.. it is indeed a hidden gem beautifully decorated on a way to give you a nostalgic feel. Basically located in the ground floor of an apartment or is divided in two big rooms with 4-5 tables named as Brussel Street and another as Captain Haddock room with a piano and adventures of tintin music playing in the background.

Now talking about the overall experience

Food:- The food for the first time was absolutely brilliant.. small things made to taste so good. But it was during my second visit (durga puja time) half of the menu was not operative and they had very limited choices available and for us being vegetarian we had only 2 dish or so which tasted moderate as compared to the first time ( they did listen to our request of making French fried loaded with cheese inspite of that not being on their puja special menu)

Ambience:- This one deserves full marks. It brings back the nostalgia of one's childhood tintin being one of the most loved character for most of us.. they have a special bookshelf where you find almost all the adventures of tintin books and various other board games to pass your time while waiting for the food to arrive.. nice way of engaging your guests into something to make the wait worth it.

Decor:- It goes well with the name of the cafe and depicts the theme in a sweet and simple way. Not many decor items have been used but the ones which are there goes well to depict their theme. The adventures of tintin background music gives a pleasant experience.

Service:- Staffs in here are extremely cooperative helpful and friendly. The waiting time could be reduced a bit and the service could be made a little more prompt for a better experience.

A simple yet cozy place to give you an all in all happy time.

Location- this cafe is located just near azad hind dhaba and beside saha textile...in hindusthan park

Ambience- ambience is really nice based on Tintin comic
Its a theme base cafe

Food- the taste of the food is really nice..we have ordered chicken pasta and cajun fish both the items were really good..they have provided good amount of chicken pieces in pasta and it was really chesse and well cooked..the fish was also good the quality of fish was good and the sauce added a extra flavour to the fish.

Price- The price of the items were bit high but its worthy because the quatity and quantity of the food items were too good..but the price should have bit less for few items..the total cost for 2items were rs 680.

Services- the service were really good and quick would love to visit again...

Visited this place for lunch on my best friend's birthday. We were quite impressed with the ambiance and the expansive area of the restaurant. There was also a piano which I told is usually played on Saturday evenings. The theme of the restaurant was on point and even has board games to while your time away.
For food we'd ordered crispy fried calamari, pollo basilico and beef steak. The calamari wasn't the best as there was too much deep fried batter and negligible amount of squid. The pollo basilico was a chicken roulade kind of a dish and tasted really good with its accompaniments. The steak, too, was perfectly well-cooked.
Overall, a good place for food as they have an array of options catering to almost every taste. They even have sandwiches and coffees so it's a good cafe option too.

I fell in love with this place, the moment I entered this place.
This place took me to my childhood day. Yes I am a big fan of Tintin 🤭
And I am proud of it.

This place was in my bucket for long and finally I got a chance to visit it.

The ambience is very cute and we'll decorated. It will surely take you down to your memory lane and remind you of all the characters.
For all who don't know about Tintin will equally enjoy this place and ambience die to its quarkyness.

For food we ordered
Belgian style roasted firm duck
Ham wrapped pork
Pot roast lamb with potatoes and onions

For mocktails we opt for

Fire and ice
Atomic cat
Virgin mojito
Sweet Lime soda

Each of the item tasted equally good

The price was quite reasonable for the quality of the food we get here.

All the pork lamb items were imported as mentioned by the waiter.

The owner and the staffs were equally friendly.the owner personally visited our table for our reviews on food which was really nice.
Even the staffs were very helpful. He explained us items. He also showed all around the restaurants explaining each corners which was also very thoughtful idea to engage your customers.
I was really very happy with their hospitality.

This place is a true hidden gem

Tintin and the Brussels Club is a Tintin-themed Belgian and seafood restaurant located at Hindustan Park, known for introducing Belgian cuisine in Kolkata for the first time, the owners inspired by Tintin comics and the life and works of their creator the Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, popularly known as Hergé.

The huge eatery - that can accommodate upto 40 guests - is decked cosily with Tintin paraphernalia, an utter delight for Tintin fans.
The inside is divided into three sections: Tintin's Room dedicated to the amusing Belgian detective himself, Calculus' Room dedicated to Professor Calculus and Haddock's Room themed around the cursing ill-tempered seafaring pipe-smoking merchant Captain Haddock.
The entire place flaunts a cheerful Tintin-themed decor, with walls dotted with covers of the comics, prints, posters and sketches of the characters, including a night street scene of Brussels in the Tintin Room and another pretty image of the same Belgian city in Haddock's Room.
The Tintin's Room and Calculus' Room are done up in shades of warm yellow, with a fish aquarium and a life-sized standing cutout of the scatty half-deaf physicist and professor Calculus in his room (great for posing for cheeky photos), while Haddock's Room is painted deep red with a beautiful polished old piano on one side, used for live piano sessions every Saturday night.
The place also stocks up on board games, Tintin puzzles, comicbooks, Tintin-themed mugs and coasters (made by the owner herself) for guests, and also a display of exquisite Tintin souvenirs handpicked from Brussels on glass shelves in a corner.
A soft board proudly boasts of a collage of newspaper cuttings of media coverage and accolades garnered by the restaurant.
Just before the entrance to the main eatery a large cut-out of the butler Nestor and shelves full of dainty cakes and Belgian chocolates welcome visitors.

We were graciously welcomed and greeted by the beautiful owner herself (she welcomes visitors personally) and were seated in the Tintin's Room, adorned with chandeliers and photos of Tintin and his pet companion Snowy (even one of the opera singer Bianca Castafiore), with a television screening "The Adventures of Tintin" animated series (a much-loved childhood show for many of us) and a curated playlist of classic retro American numbers by Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard and others softly playing in the background, much praised by guests.

The cuisine of this place is primarily Continental, with dashes of popular Belgian, French and European dishes like CAJUN FISH, POT ROAST MUSSELS BELGIAN, BELGIAN PORK SAUSAGES WITH STOEMP, OSTEND FISH, POMFRET MORNAY, FLEMISH COQ AU VIN, BELGIAN AU GRATIN, GENOVESE CREAM PASTA, RUM OMELETTE etc. gracing the colourful pictorial Tintin comics-themed menu.
Being an avid reader of the Tintin comics since childhood had been eager to visit this quaint place, and finally got to tick it off my bucket list. ✔

We ordered:

> BELGIAN FISH & FRITES: A platter of 6 pieces of beer-battered fresh authentic bhetki fish accompanied with Belgian fries and tartar sauce.
The fish tasted gorgeous, with a crispy mouthwatering coating (tasting a lot like KFC's Popcorn Chicken and almost everyone loves it so the drool-worthy taste of the fish can easily be discernible) that simply melted on the palate. The BEST and most lip-smacking battered fish preparation I've had till date.
The bed of thick delish frites (French for fries) and the tartar sauce served as the perfect accompaniment to the dish.
A must try. 🐟🍟
Price: INR 280
Verdict: 5/5

> BEEF BITTERBALLEN: Bitterballen are a Dutch meat-based snack typically containing beef or veal. The ones at Tintin & Brussels Club were 6 pieces of yummy beef meatballs made of roasted herbed beef paste, speared with toothpicks and served with mustard sauce.
Bitterballen is a popular dish in Belgium, as informed by our splendid hostess, adding that the ones at this particular place are made not of beef keema but with a special portion of beef.
The beef balls with their crunchy coating and fresh beef stuffing made for an amazing appetising snack. 🥩🥩
Price: INR 260
Verdict: 4/5

> FRESH LIME SODA: Simply the most refreshingly divine lime soda I have come across.
The drink comes in Sweet/Sweet-and-Salty/Salty varieties; we opted for the Sweet-and-Salty flavour.
The blend of subtle sugary sweetness and tangy salt was delightful enough to quench one's thirst and satisfy the soul.
A must try if one is not opting for mocktails. 🥤🥤
Price: INR 75
Verdict: 5/5

> COFFEE MUG: Freshly-brewed and piping hot milken home-styled coffee served in a Tintin-themed coffee mug printed with the cafe's logo.
A yummilicious beverage for coffee junkies. ☕☕
Price: INR 75
Verdict: 4.5/5

> GARLIC BREAD: 6 pieces of crusty loaves of buttery garlic bread, laced with the fragrant aroma of garlic. Not the best garlic bread but quite delicious to munch on and begin a meal. 🍞🍞
Price: INR 100
Verdict: 3/5

Had wanted to try the homemade MASCARPONE CHEESE ICE CREAM as well but sadly was full for the night. 😌 Would love to return to try the desserts and some of the other signature dishes.
Only the Belgian-style grilled sandwiches are available from 12-6 pm everday while rest of the dishes are available all the time during functional hours, while coffee or tea are served mostly till 8 in the evening.

Staff are polite and extremely friendly. Service is a bit slow but it doesn't affect the wonderful culinary experience. 🍽

Hospitality of the kind hostess was notably warm and homely which I do not get to see in most places; we were given a personalised tour of the place by her post-meal whereby she explained the concepts behind the theme adding generous informations about the place.
She interacts with guests from time to time, clicking pictures of and with guests, and also personally informs each guest about regular food events, like an upcoming pork festival about which she gave us a hint in advance.
We were visited by her at regular intervals, smilingly asking about the food and also informing about a particular delicacy and its contents. Sometimes guests turn to her for suggestions regarding the dishes but if one is prior prepared like me (youngsters these days normally are as she commented!) one can order one's choices straightaway.

Prices are rather reasonable considering the quality, hygiene, standard and quantity of food.
Bill and a bunch of complimentary toffees were brought in a cute Tintin-themed box.
They levy service charge. At a pocket pinch of INR 825 (without any discounts or privileges) the evening fare was a highly satisfactory lovely Belgian affair with Tintin and his friends! 😋😍🤩

Overall if one wishes to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane and relive one's glorious old childhood days with Tintin, try authentic Belgian cuisine or is fond of Continental dishes in general one should definitely visit Tintin and the Brussels Club to indulge in marvellous European delectables and spend enjoyable moments with friends, family and loved ones. :):)

I found out about this restaurant through a friend of mine who posted something over Facebook and then we decided to give this place a visit.

So me along with 4 of my friends visited this place for lunch. And first of all we were blown away by the setting. Fans of Tintin would absolutely love this place and is a must visit for them.

So we ordered Ham Wrap, Belgian Style Roasted Farm Duck,
Pot Roast Lamb and Seafood Pizza in food and in mocktails we ordered Fire & Ice, Atomic Cat & Fresh Lime Soda. Ham Wrap was absolutely delicious to say the atleast. Pork has always been my favorite and I loved their ham wrap. Roasted Duck was delicious as well, it had a sweet flavour and we loved it. Now they suggested to us to go for the Pot Roast Lamb which was in their weekend special item. This was my favorite food of the day. The Lamb was so well cooked and so soft and tender, it made my lunch even better. Then finally the Seafood Pizza, I liked this one as well and being a fan of Thin crust pizza, I loved it more. The mocktails were awesome as well.

The staffs and even the owners came after every dish was served & asked us how was it. How are we liking the taste. I haven't seen a more courteous staff than here. I loved the ambience and would definitely visit here sometime soon to try out the other items.

I have already been to this place quite a number of times. All foods taste awesome , very well behaved, friendly, courteous staffs and every time the owners themselves come to visit and greet and suggest dishes. I am in love with the chicken chowder soup, rum omelette being another exclusive dish, also casun fish, prawn and squid preparations and the cheese ice cream, all under the all time favourite Tintin themed restaurant.

The food we had in here was amazing. The interiors are very adorable and take u back to your childhood days when Tintin was a favorite. The risotto and grilled prawn sizzler were brilliant. The only thing I didn’t quite approve of was the service in the sense that the food took quite some time to be served. The billing too took time. I wish the food was served faster. Other than that one issue, the overall experience of spending the evening out with my dear colleagues eating excellent cuisine offerings was worth it

Superb excellent fantastic place !!!! After a very long time a place which has a huge variety of food. And each dish is made to perfection. Not very cheap I would say, but definitely not very expensive either. The interiors are amazing. You are eating with Tintin, Haddock and Calculas. They have plans of having beer and wine in the menu soon. Which will make it a perfect dinner joint. For people who are beyond the average Bengali taste of Biriyani and fish n rice. This is the ideal place to visit.

Nice ambience and really good food. I ordered New Zealand lamb chops🐑🍗. It was awesome👏. Regarding the ambience it's a very cozy place which was earlier the house of a Bengali poet. The entire theme is about Tintin.

The Tintin Themed Cafe is delight to all TinTin Fans. With TinTin Comic Series playing all day, and with an immense life size photo of a Brussels Street, this place is a delight to both your taste buds and eyes.
Though the price is a bit on the higher side, the owner personally comes to greet you and the staff is extremely friendly.

1. Smoked Sausage Pizza 4.8/5
The pizza was good, very cheesy, though the size seemed to be a bit small. It was quite tasty though.

2. Ham Rolls 4.9/5
Very tasty, it was chicken wrapped up in ham covering. Quite big and fullfilling.

Go in. Eat the Flemish Stew. Order Fried Calamari and keep popping one in from time to time as you savour the stew. Then help yourself through the blue fire of the Rum Omelette. Attain bliss. Saunter out. [I am sure there are several other surprises - the pizzas, the panini and the selders. Will try. But nothing better to start with than the stew].

This is my current favourite restaurant, not just because of the immense nostalgia it brings with its ambience, but also because their food is delicious.

I loved their Coq au vin.
Everything else I had - Pork ribs, Chimmichuri chicken, Fish steak, Pork Chicory- was good. Chimmichuri wasn't too tasty though.
Also love their waffles. And can't wait to try their Mussels, which I believe not a lot of places in the city serve.

The service is great as well, most of the times the owners personally come up to suggest/greet you.

You have to visit this place if you're a fan of Tintin, and good food.
Hope they add a small bar as well, for Haddock's sake! 😉

A lovely themed cafe in the lanes of South Kolkata. Tintin is a favourite comic classic amongst all generation of people and this cafe totally tries to give you a feel of the same. They have a set up with photo frames of the different Tintin comics, doodles from the comics as you enter and a couple of more statues here and there for you to take pics. I tried their prawn Fondue which I had to ask them to add more cheese after the first bite. The prawns were cut into small pieces and batter fried. Croutons were also served with prawns. This place is quite nice and you could visit with both family and friends.

A must visit in Kolkata. Whether you are a Tintin fan or not, the sheer ambience and the wonderful efforts put in for the decor makes it one of a kind place. Belgian Food is something that was never experimented in Kolkata and their menu selection is impeccable to that end. Try their Ustend Fish which is awesome. The kind of personal rapport the staff and even owners put in to interact with their customers is warm and feels extremely nice. Am trying to come back here whenever am in Kolkata.

Been to this place. Food is good, tried the pizza and pasta. It's really good.loved the tintin theme based decor.. It could be better if they bring more variety to their continental menu. More choice for pizza, pasta and salads. Service is really commendable.

It takes you to the time when reading Tintin Comics and watching Tintin on TV was what you loved to do all day and you are served good food at your table with Thompson and Thompson or Captain Haddock keeping an eye on you whether you are enjoying your food or not, which you definitely are.
The food was really outstanding. There is nothing which will not charge up your taste buds in the starters menu. In the main course part the truest taste of the dish is what you'll observe which made me love this restaurant even more but there again, in this part, choose wisely and choose the best for yourself.
Lastly, the ambience was amazing, we recieved good hospitality from the hosts and the staffs. This place is definitely worth a try. ❤️

An awesome place to hang out with friends, families or loved ones. Special mention would be the interior decoration that will make you feel good and and nostalgic at the same time. We had ordered Chicken stroganoff and Lamb Steak there, however there were some confusion regarding the order that we came to know at the last moment. To my utmost surprise, the complaint was taken by the restaurant owners and they proactively arranged all the food for us in next 15 mins.
The food was really good and overall the experience deserves 4/5.
Happy stomach! ❤

I went there before few months. I like the place . The fondue was really good. The pizza was also good. But we have taken their signature dessert was not so good. It was dry and the ice cream scoop was small. Otherwise it was a good experience. I want to visit this place again.

There is nothing called "Belgian french fries".

I loved everything about this restaurant. No complains. Food is good, ambience is good, price is okayish.

Only the choco pudding was not actually pudding, it was lava chocolate. And there is nothing called "Belgian french fries", its either Belgian fries or french fries. But whatever it was called it was good.

Just had a chicken pizza via Swiggy and man , it was one of the best I ever had in Kolkata. Big soft chunks of chicken in wholesale along with awesome mix of veggies and perfect thin crisp crust. Well done. Kudos. Keep it up.

I am one of the billions of the BIG fans of Tintin.The character is evergreen and nostalgia kicks in whenever you take the name.It is a breakthrough idea itself to merge that feeling with the joy of having a good meal.So in a docile Bengali locality when you find the glow sign of Tintin and Kuttus(Snowy is Kuttus for us Bongs) it becomes impossible to avoid.The small lane from the footpath to the gate of the restaurant,dotted with various moments from the comics book,is what they named as Tintin Museum.Wow!If you are going in a group then you can easily play a game of guessing the name of the stories and the various other characters.On entering you will see a cutout of Professor Calculus,a shark,a rocket and various other Tintin moments around.There is even a souvenir corner there.The television screen in one room featuring Tintin animations.The room inside has a piano and the live music fills the entire restaurant.All the style is complimented with great substance.The prawn starter was particularly beautiful.Sizzler and lamb chops were both yummy.Chocolate Pudding was a sinful yet irresistible stuff.Then came live stunt where the chef poured a dollop of flaming rum on an omelette.From taste to portion size to presentation every dish was so very nice.It was a great experience altogether.4.5 marks would have been apt but the nostalgia forced me to give full marks.A big thumbs up!

Such a beautiful restaurant. Good foods to enjoy much. Must have Golden duck, Belgium lamb, pork sausage. Wine omlet was a new item to me. Enjoyed a lot.

I went to dinner with friends on the recommendation of a friend who always sings praises of this eatery, and it is completely worth it. I would personally recommend the Tequila Prawns (the prawns are juicy and the sauce is so heavenly), the Stroganoff (we had the veg option because only that was available but even that was a delicacy), the Chicken in Mango Mustard Sauce (from the newly introduced Chinese menu), the Chicken Fondue, the Bhetki Cigar Roll, and last but definitely not the least, the Whiskey Chocolate Cheesecake which is decadent, delectable and you wouldn't want to share it at all! The staff are also very helpful, and the owner is very sweet to all customers. Definitely a must go for continental dining.

Amalendu Chakraborty

Food was awesome. We had Tequila Prawns, Seafood Chowder, Belgian Pork Chicory, Grilled Bhetki, Liquor Cheese Cake. Every food taste was too good and service. I would suggest this place to everyone and will visit myself with my family again. Deserves more than 5 star.

S Ghosh

This place is based on Tintin. If you are a Tintin fan then you will enjoy the ambience. The decoration, muzic, showpiece, wall painting, all are Tintin theme based. Though previous location was much more better, but present area is not so bad, a little smaller area than previous. I like the ambience, as well as the foods. It is pocket friendly also.

Asidhara Lahiri

We have been a Tintin fan from our childhood and obviously loved this Tintin themed restaurant, for its delicious food, Tintin themed decor and cordial behavior of the people, right before the Covid days. Even during Covid, we had gotten our favorite items delivered to our home. Our favorite dishes include the pork chicory, the fish roll and waffle sandwich. Enjoyed the fondue as well.

Sumit Surai

A small Tintin-themed restaurant, Tintin & the Brussels Club’s posters, wallpapers, printed table tops and props created a great first impression on a fanboy like me. The restaurant area though small and not chic was clean and comfortable. About the food, the beef steak was excellent. Juicy, tender, and well seasoned with a decent mash and veggies. The best beef steak I have had in Calcutta. The ham steak was good too. Prawn tequila had juicy prawns and a tasty sauce. Not sure whether tequila was used, though. The squid was soft and flavourful, albeit marginally salty for us. For dessert, we ordered a Rum omelette. Both the experience and the taste were excellent. If you love rum, you would love this. Also, not for someone who has a sweet tooth. Among mocktails, Sunrise was decent. But the Fire & Ice was excellent. It is a must-try drink if you love the kick of Tabasco sauce. Service was friendly and quick. We will be going back to try more dishes.

Tanvir Sarkar

A small restaurant in southern Avenue. The theme is very good tintin themed & for comics lovers it's a good place to spend & read. Coming to the food it's quite good items were fresh & tasty. We ordered tequila prawns, crab fry as starters. Crab fry could have been better as the crab meat taste was missing. Espresso & cappuccino coffee was good also. Main course was delicious, we tried chicken stroganoff & spaghetti bolognese with chicken. Desert was cheesecake chocolate it's delicious too. Overall a good place for people to hang out & spend time

Arijit Chakrabarty

Was looking for a cafe that served waffles. Found this place, close to Desapriya park. We ordered our waffle with the option of honey butter, instead of chocolate. They served quite a sizable portion, and we enjoyed it.

Ananya Sengupta

Extraordinary food experience, and extremely helpful staff. The preparations are all unique, but fret not - the staff are always there to guide you. We had the duck steak, sphagetti, rum omlette.

Prajna Gupta

It was a small place well decorated with all things Tintin and Brussels but the food is amazing here. We ordered a pepperoni pizza which could have been a tad bit less baked but the taste was very good. Then we ordered a plate of Chicken Stroganoff and Grilled Chicken Steak alongside cold coffee with ice cream and a mojito. All of which were incredibly tasty. The Belgian Dark Chocolate Ice cream was to me the star attraction of the day. We went home very happy with the homemade chocolates they make. They were incredibly good. Will definitely visit again❤

Geetanjali Singh

Tintin and the Brussels Club is your new happy place at Hindustan Park. What attracts you to this place is the theme - Tintin. From photos of Tintin and characters to Tintin being played on the screen, you got him everywhere! Ask me Pasta and I'll say Alfredo. This gem here was great at taste. Tossed in chicken and bell peppers in a creamy sauce, it comes with garlic breads for the side. Cheesy as you ask for. The pasta was cooked to perfection. A single plate is more than filling portion and you might consider ordering a drink to wash it down. The Belgian chicory is a pork heaven. The pork was smoky and soft had a nice porky flavour, again a cheesy affair. 380/- The Cajun fish was cooked well but the fish didn't do justice to the price. The sauce on the other hand will make you lick your plates, a creamy mushroom sauce would make you want to have a bowl of it to dunk your fish in. 280/- Belgian food, though influenced from its neighbouring countries, seems to have quite a lot to offer. Borrowing inspiration from the roadside cafes in Belgium, Tintin and the Brussels Club puts up the same feel and decor on their walls. A feel good place!

It was nice beautiful.. atmosphere was enjoyable.. nice food with variety of choices.. duck and turkey were available...it was really good experience..

Aritra Majumdar

C'est parfait! A good ambience with plenty of Tintin memorabilia welcomes you to this pretty restaurant. The staff (and owners) are courteous and helpful. The food itself is quite delicious. From what I could tell they make their own pastes and sauces. The taste therefore is different from your average Chinese and Indian restro. None too spicy, but succulent and with good expression of the flavors. Definitely recommended.

Sayan M

A comfy Café for Tintin lovers and Steak lovers. The pork dishes are great. And you'll use many jigsaw puzzles, trump cards and other accessories of Tintin for time pass..

swastik nath

A shout out to all the Tintin fans from Kolkata. This small joint has everything to give you major nostalgia. Starting from a great setup having a collection of almost all Tintin souvenirs to a great menu of Continental dishes, this place promises to give you the best dining experience. The pork chicory is something to look out for.

Ankan Chaudhury

A cafe entirely themed on Tintin. Amazing ambience, the quality of food was also great. Follows proper santizing measures, and the staff was also well mannered and courteous. The Pork Chicory is one of their signature dishes and is a must try.

Chitrita Seth

Food quality should have been better, the decoration ideas are good and staffs are well behaved and well mannered but there's no such options for dessert items. Otherwise it's pocket friendly
