Restaurants cuisine du monde Bruxelles - Brussel

The Eating Garage is a natural extension of Brussels' most famous foodtruck, El Camion. In direct connection with the Pêle-Mêle bookstore in Ixelles, one can go from one to the other to satisfy one's thirst for knowledge and entertainment, but also one's appetite for quality food... One can stop there to have a bite to eat at lunchtime or in the evening, savor a piece of cake with a coffee in the afternoon to take a breather, taste natural wines or artisanal beers, or even have brunch with one's family on the weekend.

To say that this is a trendy brasserie would be an understatement. The Art Nouveau decor and atmosphere are very pleasant and the terrace offers a free observation point of the passers-by. But the main motivation for a visit remains the menu. The beer menu (more than 90 beers, 6 of which are on draught) and the brewery dishes. The quality depends on the day. At times it is very good, at others the cooking is below their capabilities, but this shows that the cuisine is not formatted. A positive point, in short.

Lift a veil on the soul of Brussels by entering this "Mouche folle". It plays the Belgian card to the hilt: you sit on beer racks, record covers of the greatest artists of the 1960s and 1980s adorn the menus and walls... On the menu, you will find the dishes of grandmothers: carbonnades, chicon au gratin, chicken compote... and of course, French fries. All homemade, at a reasonable price. Nice beer list. On Saturdays, you can sway to the sounds of DJ-Has-Been or dance to the Thé Dansant of DJ Naphtaline on Sundays.

This restaurant is not at the cutting edge of modernity? No matter, this cuisine has been a success for more than thirty years. You can enjoy bourgeois dishes and it would be a mistake to forget this beautiful restaurant. We will evoke a sharp classicism where the French cuisine plays its scales. A few pasta dishes are a reminder of Pascal Romano's transalpine origins. The service is provided with elegance while you are comfortably seated. The setting and the bright decoration of this 1900's style house offer refinement as a guiding principle. A must!

The restaurant has taken up residence within the walls of Millésime, which used to delight taste buds in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is elegant and refined, and the kitchen is - curiously - open and visible from the sidewalk. Perhaps that's where the improbable lies! The menu, made with fresh, seasonal produce, changes according to the ingredients available. Geographically unclassifiable as it moves the guest around according to the chef's creations, l'Improbable's cuisine is ultimately above all bistronomic!

Giant clock, suspended passageways, old drawer cabinets and above all this lively brewery atmosphere. A magnificent setting for a kitchen where oysters, fish, seafood and regional recipes are put in the spotlight. The menu changes twice a year and plays transparency with the traceability of the products. Like those from their own farm for Bresse chicken and other meats. Some biodynamic wines complete the menu. La Quinc' has an induction kitchen allowing low temperature cooking and minute preparations.

A bright and renowned neighbourhood brasserie, the cuisine features hearty cuts of beef and is also popular for its home-style dishes and its "banc d'écailler" (from September to May inclusive). Lobsters (in four ways) and fish take the lion's share of the menu. People flock here all year round, especially from the neighbouring RTBF (French-speaking Belgian radio and television) and take advantage of the conviviality of the half-floor to feel at home. And it's been going on for thirty years and still with Costa Loulas at the helm.

Chief Van Hau N'Gguyen is wearing... Hau the Vietnamese food! This one is honored in a very airy and bright setting. Located in a magnificent villa from the beginning of the last century, in a nice residential area, this is an exceptional address. The products used are very fresh and the recipes from South-East Asia finely elaborated (partly based on ingredients from the market). The chef is passionate about wines and offers his beautiful discoveries, organic or nature (l) s. The reception by the hostess is attentive.

If you're looking for a warm Portuguese welcome, family-style cooking in an authentic setting and good home-cooked food (by the owner and his wife), you'll find it at Casa Santos. This no-frills restaurant offers a short menu of Lusitanian specialties (francesinha, cod à Zé do Pipo...) with one or two tasty French offerings and an equally short but well-chosen wine list. Worth mentioning: the democratic prices and the delicious prawn platters.

The decorators who worked on this restaurant-bar had a free hand! They were able to make this place a place above the fray and it shows. A great challenge for the chef, who has followed suit with a menu that can be described as international. He has succeeded in this challenge and the cuisine excels in all areas, with an obvious love for seafood, beautiful meat preparations and Belgian touches. There are also some nice veggie surprises. To impress the gallery, note that Cospaïa was a republic of Umbria from the 15th to the 19th century.

In Spanish, " leche de tigre " refers to the juice collected during the cooking of a raw fish ceviche with lemon. And indeed, the menu of this trendy new restaurant in Châtelain includes wonderful ceviches, but also salads bursting with vegetables and chicken or vegetarian dishes. The side/shares are already dishes, it's hearty, and the prices are affordable. The tigermilk ceviche was divine (haddock, tiger leche with coconut milk, mango, pomegranate, fresh coriander, roasted sweet potato). Make a reservation, it's often full.

Opposite the Saint-Boniface church, we worship generous dishes with a roborative tendency: if you're still hungry when you leave, ask yourself the right questions! Among others, the clan burger with smoked pork belly is a treat. The fries are fresh and the potatoes are peeled on the spot! And the desserts? Let's just say they show some delirium in the kitchen. In the dining room, we like the numerous elements of decoration resulting from recovery and the bonhomie of the team. We also drop by after work to have a drink and discover their cocktails.

Here's a young Neapolitan couple who have done well to set up shop in Uccle. In addition to antipasti, the main part of the menu features pizzas: classic, white (without tomatoes), calzone and specials. Stephan Guarino's pizzas reflect all the characteristics of authentic traditional Neapolitan pizza. Good hydration, long hours of natural rising, the right choice of raw materials and oven baking at the right temperature. There's no shortage of pizzerias in Brussels, but this is competitive pizza.

At the helm of this elegant little corridor restaurant is Tom Pokomé. Based in Belgium for a number of years, he studied royal Thai cuisine in Bangkok, in the purest respect for tradition. There's no à la carte menu here! You'll be surprised by the chef, who has done his shopping on the day. It's impossible to predict what's going to be on your plate, but every dish we tried was of the utmost finesse. Just mention your food allergies when booking (essential, Baan Chann is small).

The latest project from Michelin-starred chef Sang-Hoon Degeimbre, but one that's close to his heart as it draws on his roots: Korea. Enter this bright, vitamin-packed den, filled with frescoes evoking the land of the morning calm, and start with a few shareable starters like japchae (beef tartar with sesame) or pajeons (kimchi and vegetable pancakes). The main course focuses on banchans, a series of side dishes (kimchi, shiso leaf, spinach, rice, etc.) based around a single ingredient (meat or non-meat), which you can mix and match to discover all the flavors. A real favorite!

Kline, the emerging sensation on Sainte-Catherine, describes itself as "raw": concrete, wooden tables, a counter where dishes are partially prepared, and a crowded terrace in fine weather. The decor hits the spot in the neighborhood. What about the plate? A host of small dishes in various categories, to share or not, with a strong emphasis on plant-based, local and seasonal ingredients. The presentation is just as minimalist but attractive. Melt-in-the-mouth leeks cooked in miso, Brussels sprouts with white beer butter, just crunchy. A real delight.

Gone are the colonnaded folklore, the sirtaki and the stuffy dishes. The wise Constantine revives the recipes of the land of his ancestors and adapts them to modern gastronomy. The inevitable tarama does not have the Barbie tint of its supermarket counterparts: it is beige. For the house's favourite dish, arvanitiko, nothing but praise: we almost shed tears over this roasted chicken stuffed with duck liver and raisins. The haloumi invites itself as a Cypriot neighbour. The wine list is of the same barrel: long, beautiful and typical.

Is it a wine bar? Is it a restaurant? A bit of both! There's no need to make reservations here, just turn up and take a seat wherever there's room: around cloud-shaped tables or at the wide counter, opposite bottles of natural wine, sake and various spirits. The menu is full of flavor and lightness, and you can feel the Italian and Asian influences (shiitake risotto, butternut and jasmine tea, spaghetti squash, pear-tamarind sauce and rice potato chips). An inventive cuisine that delights without fuss.

An institution in Evere for three decades, the Lion Belge owes its good reputation to its numerous wood-fired grills and its well-stocked brasserie dishes. Dimitri, the owner, mixes in his menu the classics of the French-Belgian, Italian and Greek cuisine. In addition to the menu, there are weekly suggestions that change with the seasons, without forgetting the mussels. For starters, the mezze are particularly recommended. Bar and terrace for the occasional sunbeam. Pleasant piano bar on weekends. Reservation recommended.

Restaurant-wine bar specializing in tasty and authentic Italian dishes. You can choose from a hanging board, as if you were shopping at the market! The white tablecloths set the tone, the cooking is fair, without unnecessary fuss. The ingredients taste as they are, without unnecessary or prolonged processing or cooking. You might as well say that we like it! Caffè al Dente also has a shop next door. Unique wines to discover on the spot or to take away, fine and exquisite products coming directly from the Peninsula.

Georgios' welcome is cordial. The numerous mezze are to be tasted and shared in the Greek way, at the table. Fresh products, crispy bread served hot, excellent olives, olive oil and spices make the specialties where the octopus regularly stands out. There is also the Cretan dakos (toasted bread, goat cheese and tomato puree), ktipiti or tyropita, a spinach or cheese pastry. Seafood and kebabs round off an already extensive menu, which is complemented by some very good Greek wines.
