Rank 3. Au Vieux Saint Martin
Belgian Brasserie
Colorful artwork lines the walls of this old-school Brussels brasserie on the Grand Sablon, and the terrace pulls in everyone from antique dealers to tourists who've just figured out where they are. The menu reads like a Belgian civics lesson: filet américain, vol-au-vent, brains with gribiche. The larder is famously well-stocked, and the kitchen doesn't pretend otherwise.

Rank 3. Gastro Brisk
Belgian
A stylish villa outside Brussels where a chef took over the family restaurant and quietly made it his own. The cooking is farm-to-table contemporary, rooted in Belgian produce and legible flavors, with the occasional Asian detour that earns its place rather than apologizing for it. The room runs warm and unstuffy, the kind of place where the food feels considered without anyone reminding you of that fact.

Rank 3. Lily’s
Contemporary Belgian
A green pergola shades the terrace in summer, and by the weekend the dancing starts, which tells you most of what you need to know about Lily's. It's a contemporary restaurant that leans hard into the St. Tropez playbook, all premium finishes and cocktails that arrive looking architectural. The menu moves between Belgian classics and ceviche without breaking a sweat, and the room fills with people who dress like they knew they'd be photographed.
