Some of our favority places to eat out

Here are some restaurants of all type and prices where we like to go with friends or colleagues...

Our first "coup de coeur" ;


L’Estrille du vieux Bruxelles, rue de Rollebeek, 7 Roolebeekstraat – 1000 Brussels

What I appreciate a lot about this place, beside the location, as it is really like a hidden place behind a small passage, is the special dish of the house.
This dish is present on a large plate with 6 different typical Belgian dishes, so you get to discover 6 different preparations in just one dish.
In the summer I like to eat outside on the terrace, it offers an intimate feeling in centre of the city. In the winter the open fire gives you the felling to go back in time, you can see them preparing the Crêpe flambé grand Marnier with mandarins…mhum a real pleasure!


When the weather is nice and we want to enjoy a nice terrace for a business lunch, I like to take my guests to La Manufacture, Rue N-D du Sommeil 13, besides the fact that it’s the former Delvaux manufacture, they have a great Bambou terrace, and there business lunch during the week is always a good choice, I like to way they prepare things in an unexpected way…Herbs and sweet sour associations are very much appreciated here.

Viva Boma! Vlaamsesteenweg 17 Chssée de Flandre. A typical Belgian name for a typical Belgian restaurant. What’s funny about it is that in the first part of this house you can find fantastic sandwiches where you will always see people queuing and behind a Boucher’s door you will find the entrance for the restaurant. In a very Brussels’s ambiance you can order a “boulette sauce tomate” or américain and do not miss the Dame Blanche for dessert with the warm chocolate sauce!
Again an unexpected place in an unexpected location
When I feel like eating salad there a several good addresses in Brussels, the first one is 2 steps away from my office: Crazy Salad Spoormakersstraat 54 rue des Eperonniers. 1000 Brussels. My favourite salad there is the one with chicken and quinoa the present there salads in a crispy baked bread tulip and I always.
