Al Piccolo Mondo
On Christmas Eve 2023, it was just the two of us, and I wanted to make the evening special. Having spent time compiling a list of restaurants for the holidays, I decided to follow my own recommendation this year. Al Piccolo Mondo had an outstanding menu available on December 24th, and the ambiance was perfect for celebrating this special day.
L’Express
In my ongoing quest to discover the best affordable meals in Brussels, I'd like to introduce you to L'Express. Nestled on a charming side street just off the famous Grande Place, this restaurant is far more than your typical fast-food joint. L'Express specializes in Lebanese cuisine, serving up incredibly fresh and authentic dishes that stay true to their native roots.
Zeitoun
The little green oasis in Brussels center has some of the best Lebanese food in town. Zeitoun is a great place for lunch on a warm summer day, their terrace is filled with plants and eclectic furniture. A perfect place for a relaxing and peaceful meal. Everything is home made and they pride themselves on their products.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Mission Massala’s Bombay BBQ
You might know Mission Masala’s two other establishments in Antwerp and Ghent. Booming with success, they’ve now extended their kitchen to Brussels with their new address: Bombay BBQ.
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!
