Brussels restaurants
Brussels is not only the capital of Europe but also the capital of gastronomy. The art of good eating is part of an authentic way of life.
A Belgian likes to stroll in certain areas well-known for their gastronomic tables, such as Place Sainte-Catherine known as the fish market. The place where you can feast on the mussels and oysters from Zelande, lobsters from different countries; local fish such as sole and turbot, which the best chiefs turn into sublimely inventive dishes.
The Sablon is another part of the city renowned for its delicious fare. It boasts many antique shops as well as its numerous café’s, taverns, wine bars and chic restaurants. The food served is traditional, which is to say truly international.
A stone's throw from the Grand Place (Market Place) is the very popular Ilot Sacré, an area packed with restaurants serving Belgian and international cuisine.
