The building may be old—the 1739 Handelsbeurs, once the headquarters for the Imperial Guards of Empress Marie-Thérèse—but the interior is now cutting-edge, and unabashedly stylish. The food is equally chic—and tasty, too, with choices such as roast duck breast with wild mushrooms and a red wine sauce. Before or after a trip to the Sunday morning flower market on the Kouter square, come for the popular breakfast buffet (reservations essential) between 9 and 11.
