Description

Leave the noisy Chaussée d'Ixelles and walk past the grocery counter into this delightfully vintage restaurant, which is awash in Mediterranean details and boasts an delightful terrace. Welcome to this authentic Italian establishment, where the chef will take you on a culinary journey from the north to the south of the Boot. Try the house-made tagliolini with parmesan and earthy cavolo nero, or the intensely flavoursome San Marzano tomato flan, drizzled with olive oil. The chef's creative and meticulous take on traditional recipes shines through. Featuring an impressive range of Italian labels

Review summary

Racines, an Italian restaurant in Brussels, operates exclusively on set menus. Food quality receives mixed feedback; while many praise the fresh, locally sourced ingredients and vibrant flavors, others criticize lukewarm dishes and lackluster taste. Service is generally highlighted for its professionalism and attentiveness to allergies, though some guests note inconsistency. The bright, pleasant atmosphere suits romantic occasions. However, value is a significant concern, with several reviewers finding portions small and prices high relative to the experience. The absence of a la carte options further limits flexibility for diners.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking a fixed-menu experience with higher budgets, preferably booking with allergy considerations.
