What we crave when looking for a simple meal is a delicious pizza. At La Bottega della pizza Sablon you will find exactly that. Situated on Rollebeek street, just under Sablon, it’s easy to get to. The crust is the star here, crunchy and soft in all the right places and the toppings are just right. Enjoy a lovely chilled red wine to wash down all that yumminess!

1000 - Beaucoup Fish says it all, lots and lots of fish! Jordan prides himself on freshness and quality. A lunch special is available every day. A well appointed terrace is a nice option on a sunny day, but no worries on hot days, they have indoor air conditioning!
