Brussels Restaurants

  1. Café Des Spores

    Getting here means trekking out to Uccle but it's well worth it if you like chanterelles, porcini and other assorted fungi from the forest floor. If you don't, then don't bother, because mushrooms feature in every dish (even the cep tiramisu) at this so-named 'mushroom restaurant'. It sounds gimmicky but it isn't at all - the daily changing menu is market-fresh and there's a solid wine list.

  2. Café Métropole

    Hôtel Métropole's cafe-bar is the grand old lady of Brussels' cafes. With its wonderful high ornate ceilings, enormous glass chandeliers, padded red leather seats, elegant red lampshades and giant picture windows, it's perfect for apéritifs and people-watching.

  3. Henri

    In an airy white space on this street to watch, Henri concocts tangy fusion dishes like tuna with ginger, soy and lime, artichokes with scampi, lime and olive tapenade, or Argentinean fillet steak in parsley. There's an astute wine list, and staff who know their stuff.

  4. Tasso

    Tasso opened in 2006 as one of the first attractions in the new Tour & Taxis complex. The setting is awesome, but also intimate, and the food is a pleasing world mix.
