Ixelles
65 degrés
My all time favourite is 65 degrés. This is a gourmet restaurant that serves fine cuisine on the avenue Louise near the rue du Bailli. In the summer it has a great terrace at the back of the restaurant.
Their objective is also one of integration and professional training for people with mental disabilities.
Konchu
Konchu is a great Japanese curry canteen It’s actually all started as part of a great concept called Kokotte project, that allows you to open your restaurant at minimum cost for 4 months. It was so successful that it has now opened its doors indefinitely.
Saint Gilles
Colonel
Colonel is a one of Brussel's restaurant that specialises in matured meat. You get to chose your piece of steak recommended according to your preference.
If you go there at lunchtime, get their menu, you will not be disappointed. It's creative and scrumptious.
Colonel has also opened a restaurant in Fort Jaco, Uccle just in case you don't fancy going all the way into town. This one has a great terrace but once again you need to book beforehand.
Saint Gilles
Crabclub
A great fish restaurant is Crabclub, with really original dishes and the staff are so friendly.
I have been there a few times and have never been disappointed, the fish is so fresh it fells like you are by the sea.
You should book if you want a table especially on weekends and if they suggest eating at the bar, go for it, you get to chat to the staff while they serve you and recommend their favourite dishes.
It's near the Porte de Halle, so you are better off taking an uber or public transport, because it's a pain to find a parking.
Etterbeek
Origine
I discovered this gem because the restaurant I usually go for lunch with my ex-colleagues was closed.
The full name of the restaurant is Origine. Amour, Boire & Manger; and that says it all, the Amour (love) comes first and the rest follows. You are going to thank me for this one.
Watermael Boitsfort
Winery
This is the restaurant I go to with my ex-colleagues for a very long catch up lunch.
We invariably choose the lunch menu and a bottle of wine plus an extra glass... I know it's lunchtime but there are 3 of us.
Their chef is amazing, the menu varies according to the seasons. The food is delicious and the presentation is on flick, no wonder we keep going back there.
The Fox
This is a Food Market that opened in 2023 and is one in a kind in Watermael Boitsfort. It's part of the old AXA building along side a hotel, an amazing gym, a fancy restaurant and office space. You must check out the building, it's a masterpiece of architecture.
To get back to the Fox Food Market, it's similar to the Wolf with a variety of different foods, a big bar and seating indoors and on a terrace giving on to a pond. You will find burgers, Korean fried chicken, pizza, middle eastern cuisine and plenty of other choices.
Brussels Centre
The Wolf
if you are indecisive and haven’t booked a table anywhere, go the Wolf, you have a variety of different restaurants in an beautiful building to pick and choose from.
