Café du Parc - Ostend
Tucked away from the seaside bustle yet at the heart of Ostend, Café du Parc is more than just a café; it’s a piece of the city’s living history. Established in the early 20th century, this elegant venue became a beloved fixture for both locals and visitors alike. With its art deco wood paneling, polished marble tables, and timeless charm, Café du Parc has long been a stylish gathering place, blending the allure of a bygone era with thoughtful, modern touches.
Au Repos de la Montagne
Au Repos de la Montagne has recently reopened under new ownership in October, and one of the most charming parts of Brussels is now even more delightful with its presence. Situated just up a short hill at Place de Saint-Job in Uccle, this charming little restaurant holds a rich history, having once been a pigeon house before being lovingly restored into a quaint establishment.
In t’Spinnekopke
On a cold November evening, nothing warms the heart like a comforting meal at In t’ Spinnekopke. This historical establishment in the center of Brussels is one of those unique places where you feel like you're walking back in time. The old wooden doors and creaking floors add to the charm and welcome you in like a warm hug.
The 1040
The 1040 restaurant is one of those fine dining experiences that kind of takes your breath away. Chef Jean-Philippe Watteyne and chef Gabriele Petrucci have sought out the best of the Belgian terroir to delight the taste buds.
Frank
Needing a little me-time before my shift on a Wednesday, I headed over to Frank restaurant for one of their famous eggs Benedicts. I wasn’t disappointed! I was stunned to see this perfect poached egg and mouth watering smoked salmon in front of me.
Yi Chan
Yi Chan is an exceptional Asian restaurant, a few steps away from the Brussels Stock Exchange/Bourse/Beurs, on the popular Jules Van Praet street. The award winning bartender and owner, Yen Pham, makes exceptional cocktails. But the food is what makes me come back here every time.
Albert
Brunchers rejoice! I found an incredible brunch in Brussels at Albert. Situated on the 5th floor of the Bibliothèque royale de Belgique, Mont des Arts, this rooftop restaurant has breathtaking views and a gorgeous space in an iconic building.
Chou Sando
I finally made my way to Chou Sando, in my continuous quest to find delicious vegetarian dishes. Perfectly situated around the corner from the Ancienne Belgique concert hall right in Brussels Centre. They specialise in Japanese Sando sandwiches. A milk based toasted bread with all sorts of fresh ingredients. I tried their Japanese omelette and it was really delicious!
Winery
Winery - La Cave à Manger. When a wine bar masters the kitchen, beautiful things happen. This little discovery at Place Brugmann today was one of those happy marriages between years of wine knowledge and creative chefs.
Chez Jacques
Nestled amongst the fish market (Vismaarkt / Marché aux Poissons) tourist traps is Chez Jacques. A 60 year old family owned brasserie that’s sure to please everyone . Classic Belgian dishes in a typical Brussels wood interior. Perfectly situated right in front of Sainte-Catherine metro in the centre of Brussels. Here you can depend on good honest food every time.
