Bib Gourmand 1

Station 3

Bib Gourmand€€chinese

This tasteful establishment that sports a low-key exotic interior is renowned for its gourmet Chinese cuisine. An example: whole steamed seabass flanked by a rice vinegar sauce and soy sauce, delicately perfumed with ginger. In addition to a serious range of lobster delicacies, Station 3 also rolls out a splendid vegetarian lineup. The chef has a talent for precise cooking times and a knack for blending exuberant aromas, exotic spices and the occasional burst of sweet and sour flavours in an extensive menu. A golden opportunity to discover China’s culinary generosity in all its glory!

TripAdvisor review sample · 3.9/5 · 64 reviews

Station 3, located on the outskirts of Brussels, offers authentic and diverse Chinese cuisine with fresh ingredients and generous portions, generally receiving praise for food quality. However, service experiences are highly inconsistent. While some guests appreciate the warm and professional staff, many report issues such as slow pacing, disorganized service, and rude behavior, including being rushed to leave early. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the extensive menu caters to various tastes. Despite the high-quality food, the unreliable service and limited parking availability may detract from the experience. Reservations are recommended, and diners should be prepared for potential service variability during peak hours.

Suitable for diners prioritizing authentic flavors over consistent service; reservations are essential.

Bistro R

€€€Modern French, Farm to table

Roland Debuyst is inspired by top-quality Belgian produce, but also by his globetrotting background. He focuses on bistro fare with a hint of modernity. Gyosa and ceviche are naturally combined with a dish of game, such as wild boar. This seasoned chef cannot be faulted when it comes to intelligently marrying flavours. The contemporary interior adorned with handsome works of art adds the final flourish to this enticing portrait.

Maxime Colin

€€€french

Maxime Colin’s artistically appointed romantic establishment was made for a date night (or lunch), while the patio, tucked away in the garden of Jourdain castle, drips with alfresco charm come summertime. The menu quickly reveals the chef’s passion for stellar ingredients and international influences. His modern culinary style features subtlety, spot-on craftsmanship and a constant quest for innovation. For example, he may coat scallops wrapped in a cabbage leaf in a house-made XO sauce and pair them with a salad of green peas jazzed up by a zest of refreshing lemon juice.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.8/5 · 80 reviews

Maxime Colin in Zaventem holds a 4.8/5 rating on TripAdvisor based on 80 reviews. The cuisine is noted for being refined, inventive, and flavor-concentrated, often blending land and sea ingredients with high-quality products. Service is generally praised, particularly the sommelier's expertise, though some find the adventurous menu restrictive for non-adventurous diners, lacking nut alternatives. The ambiance features a charming old house by a pond, with a quiet terrace ideal for summer, though indoor air conditioning is absent. Criticisms focus on value and flexibility: portions are small, prices are considered high by some, and the fixed-menu format limits customer choice, leading to mixed feelings about worth.

Suitable for diners seeking refined, innovative cuisine and wine pairings, but less ideal for those preferring à la carte options or requiring air conditioning.
