The best restaurants Belgium

The Brasserie Binchoise was founded in 1986, but the Brasserie tavern arrived 14 years later. Here, you can taste and buy the beers brewed on the premises, and take a guided tour of the Brasserie, but you can also eat and drink. The menu features regional brewery dishes: shrimp croquettes, ham on the bone, onglet, entrecôte bûcheron... The dishes are rustic, hearty and generous. Sauce brasseur recommended, of course. In short, the assurance that you won't die of hunger or thirst, and that you'll leave satisfied.

The place is pleasant, especially the terraces where you can eat in the shade of the trees. In the dining room, the team is dynamic and efficient. In the kitchen, the dishes are gourmet, with an emphasis on southern flavors. Although from time to time a few influences from here and there mingle with the preparations, but always with subtlety. The Vigneron menu is recommended, especially as it changes every week. And to accompany your dishes, Christian Leroy is a fine sommelier. He's always on hand to unearth new discoveries from the bottles.

A vegetarian fast food... it exists! It is even a concept in Belgium, since there are three of them in the country. Healthy, fast and ultra fresh food in a trendy setting. On the menu, vegan burgers, salads, bowls, wraps, soups, all with an interesting variety of ingredients. You can order quickly, eat well, healthy and at a low price and take away if you want to picnic. You can quickly get into the habit with a vitamin smoothie, a salad with super foods: kale and goji berries, etc. The fast food of the future to eat healthy after the advent of McDonald's!

Every Verviers knows the Patch! In an original setting, this restaurant looks disorganized, but isn't at all. The menu is small, but changes regularly: from salads to sweetbreads, not forgetting Liège-style meatballs. Even though it's thirty kilometers from Liège, we know how to make them too! A place to discover, if you haven't already done so, if only for the old-fashioned brocante decor or the shady terrace in fine weather. And let's not forget the smile on the face of the cremière (Laurence), for rarely have we seen such optimism and joie de vivre.

New brasserie (La Bru'sserie, where tapas are king), new menu created by chef Wout Bru. As for the cuisine, which is definitely top-notch, it is conceived with a desire for perfection and an attentive eye for choice (not to say luxury) and seasonal products (cep carpaccio, lobster ravioli, saddle of hare in winter, for example...). These gastronomic proposals are available in just two versions of a four- or six-course menu.terrace in a pleasant garden in summer, overlooking the Château d'Ursel.

The ^18th-century façade reflects the delicate, elegant interior décor. For more than 15 years, this intimate, subdued atmosphere has been the perfect setting for refined lunches and romantic dinners. To top it all off, the restaurant boasts one of the most beautiful terraces in Ghent. The four-course lunch menu is very interesting. On Saturday evenings, only the six-course tasting menu is served. The dishes are both fine and gourmet, you can't go wrong, everything is appetizing and well executed!

One of the oldest family-run restaurants in town. Opened in 1918 by a family of fishermen, who started out as fishmongers, the house has endured, evolved and the whole town runs here. The menu changes daily and features only the freshest artisanal products of the day. The chef respects the tastes and flavors of market produce. Creative, fresh and delicious. The kitchen is open, so there's nothing to hide. Ah! de Mangerie means "moment of pleasure"; the tone is set. A second De Mangerie has recently opened along the Promenade Albert ^Ier.

Black and white walls, wood, high chairs and zinc: the place is friendly, well thought-out and orchestrated. In the kitchen, Nicolas revisits the classics. He kicks things off with a Parmesan crème brûlée. What a surprise! Cod fillet on mousseline and crunchy vegetables... copious for a starter! What follows is just as generous: morel mushrooms surround sweetbreads and a full-bodied truffle jus! Finally, the caramel-salted butter moelleux is his specialty. The limited space of this tucked-away address makes for an intimate setting.

For a good quarter of a century, this small restaurant has been offering hearty and tempting brasserie dishes in a nice Parisian bistro decor where the walls are initialled by comic book authors. Efficient cooking with these grills (their great classic "single-sided", served with a butter-mustard-scallion sauce and a gratin dauphinois), fish, pasta, salads without forgetting some canaille dishes: roasted marrow bone, cassoulet, andouillette 5A. Everything is homemade, some wines are organic and the menu respects the seasons.

In the house once owned by his parents in the Plante district, Charles Jeandrain offers gourmet cuisine based on seasonal produce. The hyper-trendy decor is the opposite of the classic style of yesteryear. On the plate, haute cuisine: lobster rubs shoulders with sweetbreads, Iberian pluma, langoustines, turbot and oxtail. The chef also offers Belgian "ocietra" caviar, served with cauliflower, lemon and bread. Reservations recommended. Take-home store and classes to reproduce.

One can easily recognize the quality of the products, directly imported from Sardinia to this pretty little canteen! Moreover, the menu is short, a sign of their freshness, with 2 or 4 pasta dishes and a meat... to which we must add a nice list of crispy pizzas ! Charm, authenticity... even for the greediest. Opened in 2012 by Roberto Casula, La Bottega della Pizza has won numerous awards, including Best Pizza Maker in Belgium by Foodprint. Only twenty covers, so remember to make a reservation.^2nd address in the Sablon.

Pompon is much more than a chip shop, it is an institution almost as well known as the Caves themselves. Yeah, that's a bit of an exaggeration In addition to the classic French fries, which are served generously, the restaurant room also features XXL meat cuts and brasserie dishes. Belgian beers complete the picture. Please note that the dishes are also take-away. Just opposite, the tavern Au Vieux Han (same direction) offers a beautiful terrace where you can taste some special beers, including the Corne du Bois du Pendu.

A chairlift in the heart of Flanders is really unusual! Built in 1958, the year of the World Fair in Brussels, the chairlift links the Mont Noir to the Moulin du Mont Rouge. Once this unusual excursion is over, why not take a little gourmet break at the Cordoba brewery, where the chairlift starts? On the menu, croque-monsieur with country bread and vegetables, and other typical dishes of a good brasserie. As for desserts, pancakes and home-made waffles will delight the gourmets.

Joseph II of Austria had nicknamed Spa "The Café of Europe". For two hundred years ago, the city attracted numerous personalities from all over the continent to recharge their batteries and enjoy the casinos. Right in the heart of the city, on the Place Royale, this café is designed to reflect this image. You'll be satiated with excellent brewery cuisine and regularly changing suggestions. Concerts, broadcasting of matches... the atmosphere is often lively. The setting has recently been refreshed but the mussels in season are still a must.

For over half a century, Bouboule has been the king of Moules! Offering only the best quality, Bouboule has forged a solid reputation well beyond the city limits of Dinant. The menu features no fewer than 35 mussel specialties (1.2 kg, served with fries), as well as classic suggestions for fish, meat and stews. The view over the Meuse is breathtaking. If you're booked up, the "Bouboule chez soi" option lets you take the pans home with you, including (super-simple) instructions for use!

With its tired mirrors, murals and weathered woodwork, the Cochaux brewery exudes an atmosphere that is half Art Nouveau, half old-fashioned. The regulars come back and the faithful stay, a guarantee of quality and authenticity. For those with small appetites, the menu offers a choice of omelettes and salads. It's good, it's prepared with fresh products and it's a bit expensive for a classic cuisine. But it's close to a zero-fault menu... To shine in the evening, tell them that Felix Cochaux was an engineer and invented a new type of drag boat.

The terrace is a delight for lovers of picturesque views, between rock, Collegiate Church and Meuse. The menu features "local" beers from the famous Leffe brand. On the food side, the brasserie menu is unsurprisingly well-balanced, with dishes such as jambonneau à la moutarde à l'ancienne, fine cuts of meat, creative salads, and even a choice of different couscous as well as a few suggestions. All unpretentious and reasonably priced, with sauces generously topping the plates for tighter budgets.

This charming 13th century farmhouse is home to a family business that has made a very good name for itself today. In a very pleasant rustic decor (exposed beams, red bricks, an imposing fireplace...) you will enjoy simple and well-executed dishes with generous portions. The suggestions change regularly according to the arrivals and the seasons. Beautiful pieces of meat and fish are cooked. The establishment also proposes typical regional dishes: Flemish carbonnade or hot toast with maroilles. You will also appreciate the aperitif board with an assortment of Bruges cheeses and home-made charcuterie. And if you still have room, you can enjoy one of the home-made desserts. The friendliness of the staff completes this country break in all simplicity. We disconnect the time of a meal, and we ask for more.

More than 100 years ago, great-grandfather Callewaert ran a small fishermen's café along the canal. Already eel was a specialty. Today, he has kept this rustic setting, the gingham tablecloths and the eel "in the green" is still present, alongside brewery dishes (wood-grilled meats, carbonade, fresh fish from the North Sea, coq au vin...). Excellent quality/price ratio. You should know that the restaurant, in collaboration with a neighboring brewery, produces several beers: the Blinker or the Damme Nation among others.

In a zen and warm setting, pleasantly mixing contemporary and traditional styles, this restaurant is installed in a former butcher shop. As for the cuisine, originality is the order of the day, with a varied menu of French and local flavours to awaken the taste buds. To accompany these plates a beautiful wine list will be proposed to you. The service is attentive and smiling. The superb shaded terrace, on the courtyard side, allows you to enjoy the beautiful summer days. It is obviously an address to remember!

If at the beginning the name of the restaurant attracted customers, the succulent cuisine made this place a must in the Place Stéphanie district. Gianfranco and his team are happy to welcome you with their unchanging flavours: entrecote, cod and other salads are on the menu of a varied menu that changes with the seasons. For winter, what could be more invigorating than simmered dishes, or Belgian specialities such as rabbit à la kriek. The wine list offers a wide choice of wines at a great value for money.

A little crush! You could go there just for the façade covered with posters with funny slogans, illustrating all the humour of the owners. But the main reason for coming is to take a culinary trip on board a train that travels through Indochina, in the colonial era. Comfortably installed in wagons, we taste the best of Vietnam. Very good value for money, friendly atmosphere and a la carte, a traditional Vietnamese cuisine or more inventive which makes the happiness of gourmets.

From the know-how and a sense of warm and warm decoration, you are here in a kind of modern tavern where it is good to dwell. Planks, salads, grills and regional dishes: everyone will find it. Greetings of gray shrimp are the most important, the fries are home, the dishes are rich and greedy. Friendly staff and sunny terrace. The most: a relaxing room upstairs with games for children.

The service is provided by the granddaughter of Mr. Charles, the founder of the chip shop... which is still called friture according to an old belgicism. The family business has existed since 1956 and is still successful after more than sixty years of existence: you have to be patient to be served at peak times! Here you can enjoy Belgian bintje cooked in the traditional way in beef fat. At lunchtime only, the good old paper cone invites you in for some nostalgia. Eaten with your fingers, it's even better!

Brewery open 7d/7 of 10 to 24h Near the university field of Sart-Tilman (Ulg) Pizza pie starting from 5,50 €

Three mills, but above all a pepper mill in this brasserie which opens its window to snack lovers. Inside, the tables show that it is always possible to enjoy the dishes on the menu, which are mostly steaks and other butchers' pieces served with great generosity, in every sense of the word. Here, it's "à la bonne franquette" and that's also why we like this small restaurant, very nice. Fries are obviously king here, cooked according to the rules.

In the renovated buildings of the former National Bank, Quai 10, inaugurated in 2017, is at once a brasserie, a cinema and a video game gaming space. The premises are superb, contemporary, vast and bright, and here you can enjoy local beers and Italian cuisine (risotto with fresh truffles, taglioni alle vongole) with a local touch (carol dumplings, sauce with Charleroi's two beers). Well-crafted, original and hearty dishes. In fine weather, the terrace overlooks the Sambre. Sunday brunch is popular.

Installed since 1988 in the small town of Bouillon, this restaurant welcomes you in a marine setting. His specialty? Fried mussels! 35 different preparations are proposed à la carte to delight the taste buds. Antonio Ramirez, the boss, has been able to build customer loyalty over the years; thanks to his know-how, his welcome and the quality of his products. The portions are generous. Other Ardennes speciality dishes are also available à la carte for those who are in a group with mussel phobias. Friendly staff and terrace.

Stéphanie and Marc's Trac is a bar, café-theater and more, with a unique concept based around all these activities in a single location, plus catering and multi-purpose premises. Terroir, Restauration, Art, Culture et Citoyenneté is on the lookout for new artists, new products and new 100% Belgian quality activities! A small library and a cigar/lounge area are also part of the premises. Plates and salads are served alongside pizzas, burgers and delicious milkshakes.

This brasserie, unchanged since the 1970s, is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An institution, especially for the night owls, but also for the little grandpas who come to remember the good memories here. The decor, unchanging, gives us the impression to be in the cabin of a captain in full expedition at sea. They serve honest double boulets (two boulets liégeois instead of one), salads, croques, vol-au-vent, stews, grills, burgers... All served copiously, washed down with fries, good Belgian beers and at union prices.

The reception of this family restaurant located close to the Lacs de l'eau d'Heure, is provided by Christian and Anne-Marie, the "beekeepers" of this hive, who for four decades now have been looking after the happiness of their customers. Without being omnipresent, the products of the hive (honey or mead) like to mingle with appetence with certain dishes. The terroir is not to be outdone with a wink to some local producers (Ferme de la Sauvenière or Distillerie de Biercée, for example) without forgetting the mead stamped La Ruchette, flavoured or not.

One of the beautiful brasseries in the south of Brussels. The decor is in grey-green and anthracite shades of the most beautiful effect, with touches of orange. You can sit down on the wide benches and enjoy a pleasant moment. The menu is well thought out and carefully prepared, for both wolf-like and child-like appetites. Gratin dauphinois, beef tartar, veal kidneys... Don't forget the bench of scallops (also to take away) which is a reference in the neighbourhood.

Thanks to its independent management, the EHN (Eau d'Heure Nautique) clubhouse is now open to all. And we're not going to complain. The place is particularly pleasant, with an outdoor terrace adorned with rustic tables and benches, and an indoor terrace overlooking the small marina and lake. On the menu at any time of day: tagliatas, entrecôtes, meatballs with homemade tomato sauce, filet américain, burgers, pastas and salads, a jumbled menu of dishes that aren't too fancy, but are good, hearty and reasonably priced.

This hotel-restaurant offers a bucolic setting for a meal that's both local and refined. Weather permitting, make the most of the pleasant shaded terrace. In the open kitchen, the team will prepare local dishes such as the chef's pâté or the famous "potjevleesch", accompanied of course by pâté, salad and, above all, French fries! Several vegetarian dishes are also on offer, including a successful vegetable curry. The beer list is very varied and beer lovers will be delighted. A very popular address!

You can enjoy moambe and other specialities in this small restaurant decorated in the old style, on the borders of Matongé. The goat meat, for example, is a trip in itself! You should also try a dish of Liboke, the fish steamed in banana leaves. In short, the food is very good and the suggestions change every week... The menu features specialities from all over sub-Saharan Africa, exotic fruit juices, a selection of good beers and Caribbean rums. Musical entertainment on Friday nights.
