The Louvanist city has an originality within its walls: a Palestinian table. Born thanks to the roots of the Asli family, the Fig Tree Branch stands out for the quality of its family gastronomy plates. The local tradition is naturally leaning towards mezze, moussakas and other falafels but it would be very simplistic to limit the Palestinian (and Lebanese) cuisine to these only known specialties. You can find a variety of durum, soups, grilled meats and even Palestinian burgers, but we recommend the assortment plates.

Georges Badghi Sar, who arrived in Belgium from Syria at the age of 11, is at the helm of this gourmet streetfood establishment near Flagey. The star of the show is the homemade Syrian flatbread baked in the oven (tannour), followed by a choice of meat (slow-cooked) or a veggie option. Everything is accompanied by fresh vegetables and served either as a dish or rolled up like a shawarma. What makes the difference are the quality ingredients and the care taken in preparation. A real treat, as is the low price. The line-up in front of the restaurant bears witness to this.

Across the street from My Tannour, his other establishment, Georges Baghdi Sar offers his concept of Levantine cuisine. A child of his mother's and grandmother's cooking, he honors the cuisine of his native region. For lunch, you can enjoy a challah (Israeli bread) with a filling. In the evening, hot and cold mezze and grilled meats, all served in paper right on the table! On Sundays, it's time for a hearty brunch. It's full of flavors and spices, and all the preparations, such as labneh and sausage, are homemade. Convivial and festive as hell.

Part caterer, part restaurant, this Fleur d'oranger has been exhaling its Mediterranean flavours for over fifteen years in this rather residential neighbourhood (between Montgomery and Cinquantenaire). Open at noon and often fully booked, one goes there for a lunch (soup + meat or fish or veggie) or for the tempting salad bar. The latter offers a dozen specialities and various salads of Mediterranean or Moroccan inspiration. It's good, healthy, inventive, respects the seasonality of the ingredients and is not expensive. All dishes are available to take away.
