Comme Chez Soi
The name evokes cooking just like ‘at home’, but unless you have a personal chef crafting the likes of North Sea lobster salad with black truffles and potatoes, sole fillets with Riesling and shrimp mousseline or perhaps spicy lacquered pigeon breast with wild rice, it’s nothing of the sort. The prices are gobsmacking, but so is the food from master chef Pierre Wynants’s son-in-law, Lionel Rigolet.

De Karmeliet
Chef Geert Van Hecke’s intricate compositions such as Zeeland oysters, poached quail eggs, caviar and potato mousseline have earned him a trio of Michelin stars. The setting is slightly austere, but gourmands will be too busy swooning to notice. Lunch menus are a good deal, and Van Hecke is also in the process of opening a cheaper bistro. Book well ahead, especially for weekends.

Cospaia
Cospaia’s lush dining rooms done out entirely in glossy black or pure white are the work of Marcel Wolterinck, who designed singer Robbie Williams’ London pad. Its menu (split equally between fish and meat) is sharp, stylish and very Brussels, right down to the desserts created by chocolatier Pierre Marcolini.

De 3 Biggetjes
Situated on ‘sow street’ in the tangle of lanes making up Patershol ‘the three piglets’ is a gastronomic gem, with incredible fusion dishes and good-value fixed-price menus (€16 for lunch, and €29 for a three-course dinner, or €39 for a four-course evening meal including champagne) in an intimate setting.

Bon-Bon
Brussels’ most talked-about chef, Michelin-starred Christophe Hardiquest, shuns menus in favour of dishes crafted from the day’s freshest ingredients from the markets. It’s a bit of a hike out to residential Uccle, but for foodies this is as good as it gets.
