Brasseries Georges

A little bit of Paris in Brussels

259 Avenue Winston Churchill
Brussels 1180
Belgium
+32 (0)2 347 2100
http://www.brasseriesgeorges.be/

You'll find this typical Parisian brasserie next to Bois de la Cambre. Smart waiters welcome you at the entrance right next to a wonderful display of fresh fish, shellfish, lobsters and other sea treasures. You can take out your plateau de fruits de mer for - why not? A chic picnic in the woods. The ambiance of the restaurant is cosy, relaxing and friendly, and you can rub shoulders with the local beau monde. Prices aren't very low, but it's good value.

James Joyce Irish Pub

Popular among eurocrats and expats 34 Rue Archimede
Brussels 1000
Belgium
+32 (0)2 230 9894
http://www.james-joyce.com/ Opened in May 1989, this former Pakistani restaurant became the first Irish pub in Brussels. Due to its popularity, many others followed suit. Today there are about 18 Irish pubs in the city. The James Joyce is a cosy wateringhole and during summer, those preferring fresh air are welcome to take their place in the back garden. Guinness is a popular favourite here, of course. The lunchtime menu includes Irish stew and smoked salmon.

Khaima

Authentic Moroccan cuisine 1390 Chaussée de Wavre
Brussels 1160
Belgium
+32 (0)2 675 0004
http://www.lakhaima.be/ It is hard to imagine that you are still in Brussels once you enter this authentic Moroccan restaurant. The walls, ceiling and floor are all draped in Moroccan carpets. The staff is dressed in authentic clothes, and the tables are made of large round copper trays. The only items not found in a Nomad's tent may be the wicker chairs and the cushioned benches. Of course the food is as inviting as the interior, with a wide selection of delicious tajines and couscous. Yum!

Kitty O'Shea's

Irish pub near the EC 42 Boulevard Charlemagne
Brussels 1000
Belgium
+32 (0)2 230 7875
http://www.kittyosheas.com/kit... The second Irish pub to open in Brussels (in early 1990), is just a few hundred metres from James Joyce, the very first one. Kitty's is very popular with Eurocrats and journalists. It is also a bit quieter than some of the other pubs in the same area. Live music on Wednesday evenings makes for a lively atmosphere. At the back of the cozy restaurant, the owners serve traditional Irish fare. The kitchen is closed on Saturdays but open Sunday lunchtimes.

Oceanis

Nice little restaurant 202 Rue Sainte-Lambert
Woluwe Shopping Centre
Brussels 1200
Belgium
+32 (0)2 771 9454 On the ground floor of the Woluwe Shopping Centre you will find this wonderful Parisian-style restaurant, to which a quality fish shop is attached. While it is quite small, it has lots of charm and a buzzing atmosphere. The cuisine is French and Belgian (try the mussel menu!) and of a high quality. This is not a restaurant to travel all the way to Woluwe for, but if you're in the neighbourhood, this is a perfect place to dine.

Passage to India

Rice, spice and more Chaussee de Louvain 223
Brussels 1210
Belgium
+32 (0)2 735 3147
http://www.passage2india.be The exquisite oil lamps and the enticing aroma wouldn't let you ignore this place. Famous for their cooked to perfection curries and biryanis, Passage to India is one of the few Indian restaurants that serves scampi and beef. Try the well-marinated tikka kebab or chicken chaat for starters or even the innovative mutton samosa. Pick from dhansak, pasanda, vindaloo, rogen josh and madras curries, depending on the degree of spice you savor. Your meal is incomplete here without having a go at the biryani, which is an authentically flavored combination of rice and meat. All this at a price which doesn't weigh you down. They also offer the take-away and home delivery option.

Soeur du Patron

Trendy restaurant with relaxed atmosphere 1700 Chaussée de Wavre
Brussels 1160
Belgium
+32 (0)2 675 0092
http://www.lasoeurdupatron.be/ A glass roof that during the summer months can be pushed away, stone vaults and a labyrinth-style dining area make this family restaurant a fascinating place to eat. The establishment's partially painted walls round out the creative visual ambiance; its a daring combination that beams adventure. The menu is daring as well, offering many exotic dishes. Choose between several types of carpaccios, dishes with a special preparation that includes freezing the item and thinly slicing then cooking.
