  • 1. Café des Spores

    $$$

    Finally, the mushroom-theme restaurant of your dreams … well, someone's dreams. And while diners might discover that it isn't quite as eccentric as they'd expect (mushrooms feature in all dishes but often as side ingredients), it is nonetheless quite out there, particularly the desserts: try the cakey flan diplomate and wood-ear fungus! The owners also run the impressive fine-dining French restaurant La Buvette and the excellent bakery Hopla Geiss, whose cinnamon rolls are utterly moreish, on the same street, but this is where the "fun guys" go (groan).

  • 2. Màloma

    $$$$ | Schaerbeek

    Hidden away in the streets just to the south of Parc Josephat, opposite the wine bar Ethylo, the local buzz is strong about this charming restaurant. The "market menu" is adapted in case of intolerances and geared around local producers. Its focus on gut-friendly fermentation, from kefir to sauerkraut, is explained knowledgeably, as amuse bouches are carted out with enthusiasm. 

    Rue Josse Impens 3, Brussels, Brussels Capital, 1030, Belgium
    02-732--5816

    Known For

    • The market menu is a pleasing journey
    • Smart, friendly staff keen to help
    • Its focus on malolactic fermentation puts it in an interesting niche

  • 3. Origine

    $$$$ | Schuman

    A short walk from place Jourdan reveals this elegant, modern French restaurant, its pared-down, neat decor broken up with colorful prints of animals and the bustle of the open kitchen. The choice of food is equally sparse but to the point: four-course set menus deliver with imagination and no little amount of skill, letting you mix and match from your pick of cold, warm, hot, and sweet dishes on the blackboard. Lunch is a great deal at €25 for a starter and main.   

    Rue Général Leman 36, Brussels, Brussels Capital, 1040, Belgium
    02-256--6893

    Known For

    • Original cooking that's delightfully presented
    • Helpful staff and a decent selection of wines by the glass
    • Good value for money

  • 4. August

    $$$$

    A couple of miles west of Gaasbeek is the rather bijou little town of Lennik, home to a fair number of high-priced dining options. One of the finer is August, a wine shop-cum-restaurant that oozes class and is set in an 18th-century wine merchant's premises. Paired set menus aren't cheap, but they pack a lot of flavor in, arriving immaculately presented. 

    Alfred Algoetstraat 2b, Gaasbeek, Flanders, 1750, Belgium
    02-532--4220

    Known For

    • The wine selection is backed by good knowledge
    • The cooking is pretty exciting with well-balanced set menus
    • It's a gorgeous old building

    Rate Includes: Closed Mon. and Tues. No lunch Wed. and Sat.
  • 5. Le 203

    $$$$

    While COVID-19 forced a lot of restaurants to embrace reservation policies, 203 has gone for the first-come, first-served approach, and recommends turning up at 7 (we'd argue 10 minutes beforehand) to guarantee a spot at dinner. It's certainly worth the effort. Set menus at this charming bistro change every week, according to the whims of the season, and there's a fine selection of natural wines, which are, by now, almost mandatory in all modern Brussels restaurants. 

    Chau. de Waterloo 203, Saint-Gilles, Brussels Capital, 1060, Belgium
    02-539--2643

    Known For

    • Seasonal cooking with an eye of local producers
    • The limited menu ensures each dish really pops
    • Queues of people waiting outside

    Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. No lunch Sat.

  • 6. Lettuce

    $$

    Salads packed with flavor, great hunks of quiches, and homemade lemonades are what keeps locals healthy at this popular lunch spot. 

    Tiensestraat 6, Leuven, Flanders, 3000, Belgium
    0468-310--600

    Known For

    • There's a good selection of vegetarian options
    • A seat at the window lets you watch the urban flow hustle past
    • The salads mix together interesting combinations of veg, fruit, and meat
