2 Best Restaurants in Tervuren, Day Trips from Brussels

A much-revered Italian restaurant that has been remodeled in recent years to be more of a meal out. There's a nice garden terrace, the wine selection is proficient, and the cooking is never less than spot on. It's been a local favorite for years, and you can see why: a good choice of seafood (particularly lobster) accompanies pasta that reliably conjures the scents and tastes of Italy.

This family-run Tunisian restaurant is as delightful as it is unexpected. The blackboard menu is never huge, but that's no bad thing; it just means they do a few things extremely well, and that's more than most manage. A few Belgian beers and Tunisian wines accompany vast portions of tagines (fish, meat, and veggie) and buttery couscous.
