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

Da Mimmo is the epitome of Italian sophistication. As soon as you venture over the threshold of this stylish restaurant and meet the charismatic maître d', you know you are in good hands! Chef Louis Verstrepen and his team craft beautifully plated dishes that embody a creative approach to Italian culinary tradition, calling upon consummate technique and spot-on precision. The chef is not afraid to throw bold flavours together and uses diverse textures to forge unexpected notes. For example, he cooks guinea fowl to perfection so that it is succulent with crispy skin. Then he combines it with co

Amusingly, you have to walk past Maurice’s newsagents before reaching the Parisian-inspired bistro of his son, Olivier. Gallic tradition characterises both the service and the food. Dishes include fork-tender, juicy turbot cooked on the bone, with mushrooms, a light frothy mousseline with a hint of acidity and a white wine sauce. The chef may add the occasional original note, sometimes courtesy of exquisite plating, but he remains a diehard champion of traditional gourmet fare. A well-stocked wine cellar and a splendid choice of cigars and whiskeys round off this enticing portrait.

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

A meal at Comme chez Soi is like biting into a slice of gastronomic history. The emblematic Art nouveau Horta interior, appointed with stained glass and elegant details, is classy and characterful, while the wine cellar (Riwyne) offers a more contemporary “private dining” experience. The rich legacy of this establishment, founded in 1926, owes much to Pierre Wynants. The fourth generation, Laurence and Lionel Rigolet and their son Loïc, is now pursuing the story. Together they continue to serve the house’s signature dishes, like mousse of Ardennes ham or sole fillets in a creamy Riesling and s

Gutsy stocks, house-made noodles and flavours direct from the Chinese city of Lanzhou. This buzzy eatery on the corner of the Théâtre de la Monnaie is the little sister of the Bib Gourmand Car Bon establishment. You can see the stocks simmering and admire the skill with which the noodles are kneaded, stretched and folded, before being added to vibrant dishes. An example: Chinese ravioli stuffed with beef and enhanced by a big-boned meat, spring onion and coriander stock. Rather than fancy fussy frills, you can expect full-bodied honest flavours and powerful generous aromas curated into an irre
