城市中心附近的宁静、绿色与鸟鸣

Kamo is a slice of Tokyo in the heart of Ixelles. The wood-rich, pared back interior combines a contemporary feel with a serene vibe. From the bar you can witness firsthand the meticulous artistry of chef Kamo, who starts by inviting you to sample an appetiser to cleanse your palate. You are now all set to experience the finesse of Japanese culinary tradition. Chef Kamo's deceptively minimalist dishes showcase the extraordinary quality and freshness of his ingredients. He does not rely on luxury produce to wow his diners. Chazuke, a signature dish, consists of wafer-thin slices of seabream, en

Enter the IT Tower and take the lift up to the 23rd floor, before walking up two more flights of stairs. The unique view from this glazed Villa in the Sky commands a jaw-dropping vista over Brussels! The small open kitchen enables you to admire the precision of chef Alexandre Dionisio and his well-oiled team. The food is characterised by first-class produce underpinned by playful notes and subtle side dishes. Alexandre’s high-flying culinary skill is truly in the category of consummate. He may pair a juicy breast of quail and its crispy skin with shellfish for a briny note, a gutsy poultry sto

Don’t be fooled by the cliché of a tightly packed dinky neighbourhood eatery, a never-ending menu and a mainly Asian clientele, because Car Bon has plenty of other succulent appeals up its sleeve. The food is authentic, with a focus on the Sichuan region. Examples include a wonton of minced meat and langoustines in a spicy, highly aromatic stock, or a slowly cooked aubergine in a highly addictive yuxiang sauce. Gutsy, light and assertive all at once: Chinese cuisine that hits the spot every time. Don’t forget to book!

The retro charm of this former butcher's with its lovely vintage tiles and wainscoting is eminently friendly. Walk past the delicatessen counter and rows of wine bottles (available for purchase) and into the dinky bistro. Premium produce, wholesome, unpretentious cooking and heroic feelgood flavours, with an unexpected Mediterranean dimension. Fritters of pig’s trotters, rings of squid deep-fried in a spicy bagna cauda and a house-made pie of apples drenched in cognac are just a few of the forthright delicacies that can be shared with friends or loved ones, washed down with a glass of fine win

Chef Nicolas Decloedt and Caroline Baerten, your hostess and sommelière, were championing plant-based cuisine long before it became trendy. Their sustainable ethos and creativity have been a source of inspiration for many, what’s more they publish a sustainability report that can be consulted online by all and sundry. We warrant that a meal in this stylish, street corner edifice, whose Art nouveau interior is adorned with frescoes of angels and gilded ceilings, will be an unforgettable experience. The micro-seasons are reverently respected thanks to close ties with botanist-farmer Dries Delano

The spicy scent of lime leaves and curry tantalises your nostrils as you enter this spruce, street-corner edifice, which sports soft lighting and a warm buzzy vibe. The name is a reference to the book written by the chef’s partner. Authentic Thai cuisine is crafted with an intelligent blend of spices, fresh herbs and noodles that are cooked on the spot. An example: spicy green curry of beef, bamboo shoots, spring onions and an impossibly tempting unctuous sauce of lime leaves and spices that are crushed just before serving so that they explode in the mouth to reveal their full flavour. A banqu

With its old tiled floor and leather seats, patinated woodwork, plus the peaceful terrace overlooking Kinsendaal Nature Reserve, this charming bistro is full of character. The many regulars come here to feast on classics such as foie gras maison, cod fillet in a chorizo crust with a saffron white wine sauce, and chocolate mousse for dessert. It is not without good reason that chef Demurger is hailed as a great sauce maker and rôtisseur. This Bib Gourmand restaurant is all about craftsmanship and generosity.
