Mizu
Last week I was invited to try Mizu, a Japanese restaurant at Châtelain, Ixelles and it was a really great experience. Not only are the dishes fresh and well made, they have a tablet ordering system that allows you to pick and choose as you go along.
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.
Toucan sur Mer
An incredible establishment for anything seafood. We had shellfish until we couldn’t shellfish no more! Of course, seafood comes at a price, but this place is incredibly fresh and the service is great!
Mangia Sempre
Mangia Sempre, a perfect place for an Italian aperitivo. This sweet little shop has not only great cheeses and meats to sample on their terrace but it’s also a store with delicious pasta, sauces and other Italian products to cook at home. You can wash that all down with natural wines or beers from Brasserie de la Mule and Brasserie Cantillon.
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.
Yummy Bowl
Yummy Bowl is a small restaurant around the corner from the well known “pita street”. Just a few streets away from Grande Place. They make delicious salads with all sorts of noodles, pasta and loaded with fresh veggies and herbs. Really worth a try and an easy option for a lunch on the go.
