Silo’s is breathing life into the annex of the former malt house of Boortmeerbeek. The slick, well-oiled operations of this trendy luxury brasserie work like clockwork, seamlessly catering to large numbers of diners.

The extensive menu and wine list, (including wines by the glass), ensures that there is something to tickle everyone’s fancy!
