Restaurants in Brussels - Belgium
Restaurants in Brussels - Belgium World Travel www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Brussels - Belgium Travel guide bit.ly/HPaiOv The Brussels restaurants below have been grouped into three pricing categories: Expensive (over €80) Moderate (€30 to €80) Cheap (up to €30) These Brussels restaurant prices are for an average three-course meal for one with half a bottle of house wine or cheapest equivalent. In Belgium, prices quoted on restaurant menus include VAT and service. Nevertheless, diners may round up their bill to leave a few extra Euros if the service is very good. Some restaurants close for several weeks in August. Comme Chez Soi Price: Expensive The fame of this intimate little restaurant, decorated in Belle Epoque style, extends worldwide. Chef Lionel Rigolet serves exceptional French cuisine to justify its two Michelin stars. Specialities include fillets of sole with a mousseline of Riesling, or prawn and apricot soufflé with crunchy pistachios and red fruits. Advanced booking is strongly recommended. Address: Place Rouppe 23, Brussels, Belgium La Truffe Noire Price: Expensive Italian chef Luigi Ciciriello is passionate about his truffles, used in just about every dish at this one-Michelin-starred (but friendly) restaurant with an extensive wine cellar. Specialities include Carpaccio truffles with olive oil and parmesan, lobster risotto with truffles, and, for dessert, black chocolate truffle with spun sugar and raspberry sauce. Those with a passion for truffles but with less time to linger should head for the sister establishment, the cheaper L'Atelier de la Truffe Noire on Avenue Louise. Address: Boulevard de la Cambre 12, Brussels, Belgium La Villa Lorraine Price: Expensive This very smart restaurant, with impeccable, white tablecloths, has large windows overlooking a lovely garden where you can dine alfresco in summer. The cuisine, created by chef Freddy Vandecasserie, is classical French and specialities include sole Lorraine, broccoli terrine with wild asparagus, or lobster with turmeric and coconut milk accompanied by an excellent wine selection. The gracious private rooms are ideal for business lunches and special occasions. Address: Avenue du Vivier d'Oie 75, Brussels, Belgium Aux Armes de Bruxelles Price: Moderate While many of the restaurants in the winding streets surrounding the Grand-Place are tourist traps, this place is always a safe bet for traditional Belgian cuisine such as waterzooi (fish or chicken in a creamy soup with vegetables), oysters or mussels with chips and mayonnaise. The surroundings are crisp and unfussy and the service friendly and efficient. Address: Rue des Bouchers 13, Brussels, Belgium In't Spinnekopke Price: Moderate With a name that translates as 'In the Spider's Web', this is an extremely popular tavern-style restaurant, with a wide selection of local beers. Tempting menu items are available at very reasonable prices, including Flemish specialities such as waterzooi (a cross between a soup and a stew), poached kabeljau (cod) and mussels in a variety of sauces. Old beer posters and wooden benches add to the relaxed atmosphere. Address: Place du Jardin aux Fleurs 1, Brussels, Belgium La Quincaillerie Price: Moderate La Quincaillerie, one of the most renowned of the many restaurants clustered around the place du Châtelain in Brussels's Ixelles district, is always busy. Housed in a former ironmonger's shop (hence the name), the interior retains much of the original décor, including a wrought-iron staircase, designed by students of Victor Horta (Brussels's renowned art nouveau architect) in 1903. Specialities include shellfish, oysters and lobsters. Address: Rue du page 45, Brussels, Belgium Chez Léon Price: Cheap The Brussels branch of this popular Belgian chain is best known for its generous and authentic portions of moules frites (mussels and chips), although it also serves other traditional brasserie fare. It's a bustling place - the tablecloths are paper and everyone (staff and diners included) seems to be in a bit of a rush. It's a stone's throw from the Grand' Place, with outdoor seating in summer.
