Beaucoup Belge
Located beside the KVS theater in Brussels, Beaucoup Belge is a cozy, contemporary spot that brings Belgian classics to life with seasonal flair. This autumn, they’re introducing a succulent pheasant dish, showcasing rich, earthy flavors with local ingredients. Let’s not forget their Toast Champignons, perfect for a pre-theater meal or a relaxed dinner, Beaucoup Belge captures the heart of Belgian cuisine in every bite.
Les Eleveurs
I normally stick to writing about restaurants in Brussels, but Les Eleveurs is a rare exception. This spot has been close to my heart for years. Not only is it a beautiful place to unwind, but their meticulous attention to detail in both the food and service truly sets them apart. It’s a place that feels special every time I visit.
Kline
Nestled in the heart of the Dansaert neighborhood is Kline, situated on the ground floor of the high-end guest house Teddy Picker. This building underwent a complete renovation a few years ago, embracing a stunning brutalist architectural style. The restaurant seamlessly continues this brutalist concept, featuring concrete floors, walls, and clean lines.
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.
Jardin des olives
On the Brussels pedestrian street Marché au Charbon sits a little gem: a tiny bistro brimming with charm and warmth, serving bistronomy cuisine in its finest form. It's well worth discovering.
Holy Smoke
Being myself north American, I’m naturally a big fan of smokey ribs and meats. Holy Smoke won’t disappoint your BBQ cravings. With a smoker imported from Dallas USA and using only oak wood to slow cook their meats, it’s absolutely beautiful thing!
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.
