Outstanding and unpretentious cuisine |
4 Rue des Prêtres 4 Brussels 1000 Belgium +32 (0)2 512 8681 http://www.stekerlapatte.be/we... |
Run by film producer Daniel van Avermaet, Au Stekerlapatte is popular thanks to its young clientele, unpretentious cuisine and reasonable prices. Just off Boulevard de Waterloo and close to the Palace of Justice, it caters to business people and tourists. The steak and spare ribs come highly recommended.

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.

The Provence in Brussels |
137 Place du Petit Sablon 1 Brussels 1000 Belgium +32 (0)2 511 1208 |
This great Southern-French restaurant opened 35 years ago, and little has changed since. The interior is cozy and stylish, the menu a register of the classics of Provençal cuisine, from salade niçoise to bouillabaisse.

Quaint and artistic ambiance |
23 Rue de Rollebeekstraat 23 Brussels 1000 Belgium +32 (0)2 512 1193 http://www2.resto.be/laclefdes... |
With poems, pastel watercolors and chic photographs hanging from the walls, the creative décor resembles an art house more than a restaurant. The talented Chef and owner, who doubles as an artist, is able to excite guests visually and gastronomically. Located on the cobble stone streets of Place du Grand Sablon, this quaint eatery boasts some of the best French comfort food you can find. Try a Knuckle of lamb with thyme, or roasted duck with onion marmalade. For an appetizer, sink into a marinated herring filet. With a fixed price menu, you will be fed like a king, and leave comfortably full. Review © 2007, Wcities |
