Belga Queen
A couple of years old but still wearing the crown around town. This big brasserie/restaurant occupies a 13th-century warehouse with a prized canal-side position. Seafood lovers, vegetarians and carnivores are all copiously catered for.
-
De Foyer
Convivial brasserie on the 1st floor of the Publiekstheater, near the tourist office. Overlooking St Baafskathedraal, dine on an array of Flemish meals and snacks including wicked pancakes. The three-course lunch menu (Monday to Friday only) is great value.
-
Faim de Toi
New and immensely popular designer restaurant/lounge bar serving contemporary versions of classic cuisine spiced for world tastes. As you'd expect from this burgeoning breed of restaurants, the tone is cool (and the seats are hard plastic).
-
Marco Polo
This rustic slow-food restaurant looks like it's been lifted out of Piedmont's vine-ribboned hills. Peer from the communal wooden tables in the beamed dining room to the open kitchen to watch the chefs prepare market-fresh Italian classics (chalked daily on the blackboard menu).
-
Pakhuis
Soaring iron girders, interior balconies and a vaulted glass ceiling make this former warehouse a sublime setting for a Bloody Mary and/or a meal. Pakhuis excels in seafood (sea bass with puréed artichokes and vermouth sauce, say, or grilled Scottish salmon); wide-ranging seasonal choices might include lamb stew in Barbera wine, or organic pasta with black truffles.
