An unpretentious Brussels classic with a great beer menu, reasonable prices & friendly staff. Quiet by day, very busy by night, but always welcoming & cosy.
No reservation policy but 100% completely worth the wait whilst enjoying one of the fantastic hand selected beers. The food is traditional, fantastic, good value and large portion sizes! Great place!
one of the most beautiful parks in Brussels, but unfortunately no resto/brasserie/snack bar, only ice cream/gofre/soft drinks van on weekends, or Brasserie des Etangs Mellaerts at the edge of the park
Amazingly beautiful place. Walk around breathe in the fresh air. Enjoy the swans
Cozy gastropub with friendly service. Menu is relatively small with couple of options to choose from fish/meat/burgers/pasta but quality was good enough. Usually crowed so make a reservation.
One of the best coffee places in the centre and love their home made pastries as well! Very cozy place to have your nice and well deserved coffee break!
Delicious and genuine Italian food (perfect if you decide to try something apart from trivial pizza and pasta) Very friendly owners & true Italian atmosphere. Try eggplants & zucchini) - pure heaven
Nice food. Good vibe. Come here for a weekday lunch or brunch. Also, they have three breakfasts, one of them a full English - a rarity in Brussels.
A perfect, authentic Greek restaurant! Both meat and fish dishes are awesome, and the "mezedes", Greek tapas, are worth a try! The staff is always friendly and with a big smile! Highly recommended!
Cool & relaxed athmosphere, personalized service, great seslection of quality Greek Mediterranean dishes. Trust the owner on his wine suggestions.
Beautiful park. Feels like you are in the middle of nowhere as so quiet. Plus cute looking cafe
Make sure to check out the famous open-air antique market that takes place in the square. It's full of little gems, so be prepared for some serious treasure-hunting and a bit of bargaining! Read more.
Great arty venue in an abandoned train station. There's plenty of concerts, exhibitions, projects... The concerts outside in summertime are very cool, not be missed! The place has a NY feel to it.
Super! Kind Service, portions are HUGE! My couscous was enough for 2 people. Oriental Relaxing atmosphere.
Amazing Italian, not complicated and Italian flavours as they should be. Be sure to check out the suggestions!
Very good pizza for sure. But don't go there during peak hours (Friday evening in my case) because they are understaffed and their oven is too small. That might explain some of the service complaints
A tat expensive, but boy that food is good. Beef stew (carbonade) was truly delicious. Loved the raw mussels (moules parquées)!
Try their assortiment just delicious! The setting is really original and the staff is adorable!
Bright spacious place for coffee and cake or a quick lunch. Vintage sofas, free magazines and a sunny terrace. Try the iced frappé chai and the muffins! Read more.
The food was awesome! Everything was freshly prepared and tasted wonderful. The dining room is crowded but I highly recommend the set meals!
Authentic Lebanese food. Their fresh hummus is the best. Order some of the appetizers. Excellent arabic coffee. Friendly service!
Rich 1930's art deco villa, lots of marble, gold and fancy ironwork. Home to the Boghossian Foundation which supports artist from the Orient and hosts ongoing art exhibitions. Very Impressive!
A Brussels institution! Its unpretentious coolness and laid back atmosphere makes it the ideal place for after work drinks or lazy Sundays. Try the fresh mint tea. Read more.
Not only are the sandwiches very good, but more importantly you will meet the most welcoming and cheerful host inside. He is a cheese expert who makes each sandwich with a smile.
Fish soup, crab cake, tuna steak (none of which I can pronounce in French but didn't matter because our waiter spoke at LEAST 5 languages) + wine...probably my favorite meal in Europe so far.
Great for people watching / meeting a friend for a drink / grabbing a bite to eat. Dynamic & eclectic area.
Current favorite weekend spot, for its lunch menu, excellent wines, remarkable bread (yes, really), and service with a flourish and a smile.
My second home! Try everything from brunch, lunch to their delicious cheeseburgers at night. Friendly staff and great coffee! A must visit!
Free wifi, beautiful terrace, lovely people and perfect for a refreshment in the sun!
delicious pizza.. calzone is nice, also you can try rock'n roll.. they are rolled pizzas, dont forget to tell them if you want regular one..! enjoy
In summertime the garden terrace is a delight! A beautiful, intimate place to enjoy Divino's divine pasta. Surely one of the hidden gems of Brussels!
This beautiful art deco bar has been around since the interbellum. There's a grand piano, jazz concerts and fabulous (but expensive) cocktails. Go there after 2am and watch the crowd go mad!
One of the best bar in Bruxelles. Wide selection of beers and serves excellent local food. The bit at the back is an extension but the front is authentic.
A must in the area! For chilling or working you'll enjoy your time there. Anna (the owner) is offering a wide range of healthy and homemade food.
If you are visiting Brussels during the week you must come to this market held every Wednesday. This is what a market should be - nothing like the chaotic weekend ones at Gare Du Midi.
Bars, restaurants, markets, foodtrucks and what makes it soooo pleasant: no cars!
I love this place. Lovely interior design. This is a no-nonsense Belgian classic with filling food and great local beer at a reasonable price.
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, very nice terrace, always crowded in summer. Make sure you have not shaved for at least two weeks!
Worth the queue: delicious poached eggs (bacon, hollandaise sauce, waffle - Peck Special) and the kale, coco, vanilla smoothie: sounds awful, tastes great :) one of my favourite brunch spots in BXL!
Spectacular venue housed in an old botanical garden, especially the Rotonde (under the cupula) is a gem. The program is adventurous. Prices are good. Visit its yearly festival Les Nuits Botanique!
Publico is a cosy restaurant in one of Brussels most charming streets. The food is quite nice, and François makes you feel at home!
An organic market housed in a beautifully renovated 19th century warehouse selling a great variety of locally sourced products. After doing your shopping, sit on the terrace and enjoy a mini brunch! Read more.
That's one of the best food in the area; never disappointing. Good service and delicious food from a good range of choices and tastes. Cozy atmosphere.
Very nice terrace for sunny days, young vibe and pretty surroundings by Saint Boniface.
Went for dinner here after reading all the tips on 4sq and glad we did! The staff is really nice and helpful, the food is authentic, good quality and decently priced. Cozy atmosphere on wonky chairs!
Don't miss out on this incredible view over the city! You can also go the the rooftop of the library next to this
Beautiful Art Nouveau cafe serving the best pitas in town. Reasonably priced and with a great terrace for sunny days! Great for a quick bite in the Marolles/Sablon area. Read more.
A true gem for tea and pastry lovers. Here you can find Laurent Gerbaud chocolate, Maison Dandoy biscuits and Mariage Frères tea which you can either take away or enjoy at their charming tea room. Read more.
Excellent ice-cream, true pistachio (from Iran) flavour not that artificial almond-like taste. Tarte tatin, hot with Madagascar vanilla ice-cream is another faultless option.
Gusto is a small Italian restaurant. The service is friendly and quite good. The Linguini with lemon and sage sauce and smoked salmon is intense in flavour. Probably the music volume could be lower.
Friendly and experimental Belgium Brewers. Great unique beers (and a lovely colorful hip tasting room to drink them in.)
