Wantany
The first word that comes to mind when I think of Wantany is : home. Coming to Wantany is like a welcoming hug. You’re always welcomed with a warm smile, either by owner Nadège Witco or her sister. During the lunch service, you will find Nadège’s mother hard at work in the kitchen. Making all those handmade wontons they’re famous for.
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.
Gourmet Everyday
Gourmet Everyday has been around now for 20 years. An authentic Chinese restaurant near Bourse/Beurs and Place Sainte-Catherine. Very reasonably priced!
Nonbe Daigaku
Traditional Japanese cuisine is hard to come by outside Japan. The fine art of washoku can take up to a decade to master and is taught in a hierarchic teacher/student method. Brussels has been blessed with the knowledge of Chef Suetsugu Yosuke, now in his 70’s, who has been teaching his son Kunihiro Suetsugu for 10 years now.
Nénu
Nénu is by far one of my top places to eat. A mecca for food sharing on a spectacular level. Situated on a pedestrian parallel street from Avenue Louise in Saint-Gilles, it’s a nice contrast from the high fashion shopping area. On my last visit, my daughter and I had a memorable lunch, sipping cocktails and watching the chef and his team do their thing in the open kitchen.
Old Boy
Old boy, an Asian inspired restaurant with so many ideas it will make your head spin! I never cease to be amazed by this place. their Bangkok street food inspiration is creative and simply finger linking good.
