The best French cuisine restaurants Bruxelles - Brussel

Brasserie cuisine and a Belgian-Brussels atmosphere with the comings and goings of cheerful waiters. Sauerkraut, game, stoemps, products from the peeler's bench and a few classics of bourgeois cuisine, are all served in this former post house known to all! A beautiful outdoor terrace, built on the roof of one of the rooms, lends itself to the most convivial summer meals. Adjacent to the restaurant, the catering area offers an improved everyday cuisine 7 days a week. Some fine products and a nice selection of wines (organic, biodynamic...).

François-Xavier Lambory is now at the helm of the Stirwen, next to the Place Jourdan, and it is a success. The short menu is inspired by the repertoire of Franco-Belgian gastronomy and respects the products of the land and sea and the seasons, without betraying what made the founder's success. The cuisine may seem classic at first glance, but the sauces, accompaniments and condiments bring the extra modernity that is the hallmark of the young chef, such as an espuma of green curry that underlines a mackerel cooked with a blowtorch. A great address!

Jean-Luc Collin's beautiful brasserie was born in the 1900s and was then called Café de l'Espérance. It honours the winegrowers with a hundred or so wines on the menu, including quite a few natural or biodynamic wines. Inside, there is a restaurant area, a brasserie area and an open kitchen where you can keep an eye on the brasserie or local dishes, good cuts of meat or offal such as brains and marrow bones. Non-stop scaling and take-away seafood, suggestions and excellent lunch. Pleasant and professional service.

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.

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!
