The best Thai food in Brussels, according to the experts: Le Fooding and the Michelin Guide have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Old Boy comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Ixelles and Anderlecht.
More Less
Appel Thaï and Lune Siamoise hold the next two places. The Michelin Guide shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Le Fooding next.

Rank 1. Old Boy
Fusion Thai
The open fire does most of the talking at this fusion Thai restaurant in Ixelles, where Belgian produce meets Bangkok street-food instincts and the spicing is careful enough to make you pay attention. Duck breast in green curry with coconut and Thai basil is the kind of dish that sounds like a trend and eats like a conviction. The room is cool and loud, the natural wine list is on point, and getting a table without a reservation is optimistic thinking.

Rank 2. Appel Thaï
Thai
The garden and terraces in Anderlecht are the draw on a warm day, and this casual Thai restaurant fills them fast. The cooking is unapologetically full-flavored, leaning into fresh herbs and layered spices the way a good Thai kitchen should. Portions are generous and prices are low enough that you'll order one more thing just because you can. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which tracks.

The scent of lime leaves and curry hits you before you've even found a seat at this warm, softly lit Thai restaurant on a street corner in Ixelles. The kitchen leans on fresh herbs and spices crushed to order, so the food arrives with a brightness that fades fast, which is the whole point. The Michelin Guide recognized it with a Bib Gourmand, and the room fills early with people who clearly know this already.

Rank 2. MAÏNOÏ
Thai
A Thai restaurant in the Brussels suburbs where the specials board does more work than the printed menu. The room leans into warm, traditional Thai decor without tipping into theme-park territory, and the kitchen keeps one foot in the classics while the sauces quietly steal the show. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks for a place that feels like a find rather than a production.

Rank 2. Villa Singha
Thai
Singha is the mythological lion the place takes its name from, and his image shows up throughout a dining room that leans into Thai decor without apology. This is a neighborhood Thai restaurant that has been around forever and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, with a long menu of spiced, balanced dishes and portions that don't feel stingy. Book ahead, or you'll be walking home with a takeaway bag, which is honestly not the worst outcome.
