10 Best Restaurants in Brussels

Delicious beer, impeccable chocolate, famous Belgian waffles – just for the sake of these delicacies it is worth visiting a romantic, textured city that claims to be the “Capital of Europe”. Expect the best restaurants in Brussels to offer you a lot more than the usual templates.

Dinner In The Sky

The taste and serving of dishes is not the main thing that impresses guests of the most unusual restaurant in Brussels, because meals are held at a height of 45 s above the ground, and the cityscapes look at them right from under their feet. The restaurant does not have a permanent location. The crane that lifts it to the heavens can be installed anywhere with a beautiful panorama. The cooks prepare the ordered dishes here. Everyone except the waiters is securely fastened with seat belts. Visitors to this surreal establishment, along with the feeling of hunger, quench their thirst for adrenaline adventures, and for a long time.

Bon Bon

One of the largest restaurants in Brussels is decorated with two Michelin stars for a reason. Acquaintance with haute cuisine here is organized in an elegant way: guests can clearly see what is happening in the holy of holies, how culinary masterpieces are created, and what the work of the chef himself looks like. By the way, the chef will definitely come to greet you. And the sommelier, using his expert knowledge, will give advice on choosing a wine, perhaps a rare one, whose aroma will gracefully set off the taste of the dishes you ordered. The restaurant has a lot to offer to vegetarians and gluten-free diets.

Comme Chez Soi

Another representative of the Michelin restaurant list is located in the center of Brussels, but slightly off the beaten track of tourists. The building in which the institution is located was built in the Art Nouveau style. The interior does not annoy with excessive originality, everything is very cozy and soulful. Against the backdrop of a homely atmosphere, elegantly decorated dishes of Belgian, French, European cuisine look like an amazing gastronomic holiday. In addition to the aesthetic pleasure, taste pleasure is also guaranteed. It is better to book a table in this popular place in advance.

Sea Grill

This rather pompous restaurant is also not deprived of Michelin’s attention. Apart from French and European cuisine, special emphasis is placed on seafood. The service is reminiscent of stills from a movie: several waiters serve chic lobster under pressure, sea bass baked with salt or another ordered the main course, and several original appetizers provided as a compliment at the same time. Sometimes delicious Belgian desserts can be a gift from the chef. You shouldn’t deny yourself the pleasure of ordering a bottle of wine.

Aux Armes de Bruxelles

Situated on the famous Rue des Bouchers in Brussels, this authentic restaurant needs no barking. The food here is truly delicious with traditional Belgian cuisine. Feel like a true gourmet by ordering our signature mussels in a saucepan. And in any case, do not refuse the salted butter, which you will be offered to grease the buns. This simple “dessert” serves as a source of gastronomic delight. The portions are generous and the ambiance is welcoming.

Le Rabassier

A small family café in Brussels with a cozy hall with only eight tables looks more like a private club. The interior is quite laconic, in the spirit of modernity, but does not look like a faceless office. The atmosphere is friendly, almost homely. Here not only tasty food is served, but also brilliantly decorated each dish. Desserts look like works of art. Quite unexpected for such a modest place. A great idea is to have a romantic dinner here or an intimate family lunch. But the table will have to be booked several days in advance.

Le Bugatti

An unusual restaurant, which is at the same time a pub with its own brewery, is located far from the central streets and squares of Brussels. Incorrect geometry inside the establishment seems to take you to another dimension or time. The interior is decorated in an Art Deco style, the walls are decorated with frescoes depicting airplanes and cars from the beginning of the last century. Stained glass windows ingeniously complement the style. Here you should try the Belgian specialty beer, offered in a wide selection. But there is also a great chance to taste new dishes of local cuisine.

Le Wine Bar des Marolles

The place is not for those who like to spend an evening with a beer mug and not for noisy companies. Rather, it is a romantic restaurant where you can surprise your lady with good wine. There are plenty to choose from, there are also rare varieties that you will not find in Belgian stores. The restaurant is more often visited by locals than tourists, which is considered a good sign. A decent wine list is backed up by an impressively mouth-watering menu of local, French and European cuisine, detailed presentation, and a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant has a shop where you can buy your favorite wine.

Maison Dandoy — Tea Room & Waffles

You will want to visit this cafe not just to take a break from walking the streets of Brussels, but because you cannot pass by the aroma of the best freshly baked Belgian waffles in the city. It serves delicate Brussels and crunchy Liege waffles with a caramel crust. Choose the type and amount of topping yourself: cherries, strawberries, whipped cream, ice cream, chocolate. You can also order pancakes as an alternative. You can wash it down with hot milk or chocolate, freshly squeezed juice, tea, or one of the types of coffee, including decaf.

La Villa in the Sky

Rounding off the rating is one of the most atmospheric restaurants in Brussels with an unusual location. To sit at your table, you will have to take the elevator to the 25th floor of the tower-type building. The magnificent panorama of the city surrounds the visitors of the establishment from three sides because there are so many glass walls in the architecture of the restaurant. The backdrop for your dinner is especially effective towards the night. You will surely appreciate the creative approach of the chef to the preparation of French cuisine.
