Chez Jacques
Chez Jacques is back in business after its winter break, and we couldn’t be happier! This fish market institution sits just in front of Sainte-Catherine metro station, a place I visit at least once a month. Everything is delicious!
Anju
Nestled in the heart of Saint-Gilles, a hidden culinary gem awaits – Anju. For those familiar with the culinary world, the name Sang Hoon Degeimbre needs no introduction. Renowned for his exceptional talents showcased in his Michelin-star restaurant: Air du Temps, as well as San Sablon, Vertige, and Korean Tiger, Chef Sang Hoon Degeimbre has now unveiled his latest creation: Anju.
Yi Chan
Yi Chan is an exceptional Asian restaurant, a few steps away from the Brussels Stock Exchange/Bourse/Beurs, on the popular Jules Van Praet street. The award winning bartender and owner, Yen Pham, makes exceptional cocktails. But the food is what makes me come back here every time.
Toucan sur Mer
An incredible establishment for anything seafood. We had shellfish until we couldn’t shellfish no more! Of course, seafood comes at a price, but this place is incredibly fresh and the service is great!
Mangia Sempre
Mangia Sempre, a perfect place for an Italian aperitivo. This sweet little shop has not only great cheeses and meats to sample on their terrace but it’s also a store with delicious pasta, sauces and other Italian products to cook at home. You can wash that all down with natural wines or beers from Brasserie de la Mule and Brasserie Cantillon.
Mission Massala’s Bombay BBQ
You might know Mission Masala’s two other establishments in Antwerp and Ghent. Booming with success, they’ve now extended their kitchen to Brussels with their new address: Bombay BBQ.
