The Classic of all Classics! This institution at Place Sainte-Catherine has existed for more than two generations. Perfectly executed fish and meat dishes. In hunting season they also have wild meats. Try the Sole Homardine and thank me later! On the expensive side, but worth it!

What we crave when looking for a simple meal is a delicious pizza. At La Bottega della pizza Sablon you will find exactly that. Situated on Rollebeek street, just under Sablon, it’s easy to get to. The crust is the star here, crunchy and soft in all the right places and the toppings are just right. Enjoy a lovely chilled red wine to wash down all that yumminess!

1060 - Being north american, I’m naturally a big fan of smokey ribs and meats. This place won’t disappoint your BBQ cravings. With a smoker imported from Dallas USA and using only oak wood to slow cook their meats, it’s absolutely beautiful thing! They have a extensive selection of whiskeys, ryes and bourbons. Easy to get to, right in front of Porte de Halles in Saint-Gilles, 2 minute walk from the metro. Reservations strongly suggested!

1000 - Situated between Sablon and La Chapelle, Genco is a great reference for upscale italian dinning. If they have their pulpo carpaccio on the menu, order it! It’s as beautiful and it is delicious! The owner is very passionate and takes very good care of his patrons. It’s a small establishment, so make sure to reserve.

If you haven’t been to Old Boy yet, you don’t know what you’re missing! Since the return from the last lockdown, Old Boy are open for lunch without reservations and with reservations evenings. This is a top 5 for me!
