Daniel Antuna and his wife Petra have been pampering their guests from the warm welcome on the doorstep to the final goodbye as they leave with a smile on their lips since 2005. An open kitchen ensures that you won’t miss any crumbs of the culinary show in this restaurant, which is also home to a chef’s table, where you will feel both at home and as if you are a VIP guest. Chef Antuna deploys state-of-the-art culinary techniques without betraying his classical training. His unique sense of flavour is superlatively enriched by Asian influences. For example, he may pair the delicacy of exception

Karen Torosyan is a genuine craftsman and an enthusiastic chef who, whilst respecting tradition, has developed his own culinary signature. In the company of his executive cheffe, Cassandre Ercolini, he raises ancestral culinary techniques to the rank of art. It is impossible not to be enthralled by his calm, high-precision gestures as he appropriates the mythical pâté en croûte and pithiviers recipe (by reservation only). This perfectionist seeks to communicate his emotions with each dish. His puff pastry creations are presented to the diner before going into the oven in this inclusive experie

A culinary landmark of Brussels dating back to 1892, La Paix was originally where the local butchers came for a bite to eat at the end of their working day. Chef David Martin has traded in the traditional brasserie score for a neoteric menu that is as impressive as the interior is lavish. La Paix now blends Brussels’ heritage with Japanese minimalism, embodied by a shimmering flock of origami birds suspended in flight from the ceiling and enhanced by soft lighting. This almost reverential setting provides the perfect foil for Martin and his team to add the final touch to their creations on the

This bustling eatery near the fish market epitomises Greek hospitality, as does the spot-on, welcoming front-of-house team. A long hall decked in a modern vein leads into a small, rustically appointed room with brick walls and wooden tables. Both provide a charming backdrop for a lively lunch or cheerful dinner with friends. Mezzes and other Greek delicacies set the culinary tone of the indulgent, full-bodied score. Examples: caviar of aubergine or squid ink-laced rice flanked by a tangy beurre blanc. Don’t miss the fine selection of Greek tipples (many of which are reasonably priced).

This bistro is thriving in the chic, hipster vibe of the buzzy, authentic Rue de Flandre neighbourhood. Selecto never fails to deliver thanks to its unbeatable set menu and no nonsense bistronomic fare at sensible prices that hits the spot every time. The set menu offers a choice of two (44 euros) or three (52 euros) courses and there is also a slate menu, all of which characterised by big-boned flavours and the odd Mediterranean twist. A few examples: a summer salad of runner beans and prawns, with sautéed speck, crunchy croutons and a poached egg or gutsy slow roasted shoulder of pork with c

The brutalist concrete interior of the hip Kline restaurant is perfectly matched to the casual vibe. The ingredient-centric menu is sourced locally: veg, beer, even the miso. Chef Corbesier adds a personal spin courtesy of global inspirations. Examples: slow-roasted pork belly with crispy crackling flanked by an intriguing tangy cabbage and kimchi sauce. You can expect an eclectic range of confident, bang-on dishes. The dishes of the attractive à la carte lineup, which features numerous vegetarian options, are perfect to share. ‘Real food for real people’ is the leitmotif.
