  3. Rank 3. Le Buone Maniere

    Modern Italian

    The terrace out back, half-hidden from the avenue, sets the tone for this Italian restaurant in Etterbeek where the cooking tilts classic but keeps a few surprises up its sleeve. Vitello tonnato and tiramisu are on the menu, though neither arrives quite how you remember it. The chef has a habit of serving the food himself, which either charms you immediately or makes you wonder if the kitchen is very small.

  4. Rank 3. Le Monde est Petit

    Creative French

    The awards


  5. Rank 3. Origine

    Modern French

    The walls are hung with fantasy creatures and colorful plants, plus postcards sent back by regulars who've clearly never stopped thinking about dinner. Origine is a neighborhood restaurant in Etterbeek where the monthly menu comes in three lanes, vegetarian, meat, or fish, and the chef's approach is loose enough that vol-au-vent might arrive with morel cream and a verjuice potato foam. Whimsical is the word, and the room earns it without trying too hard.

  6. Rank 3. Stirwen

    Modern French

    The chef at this modern French restaurant in Brussels' European quarter has a habit of wandering out of the kitchen mid-service to explain, in patient detail, exactly what he just did to your plate. It's that kind of place: polished and comfortable, with cooking that takes classic Gallic technique somewhere a little less expected. The room draws a crowd that knows its way around a wine list and never seems to be in a hurry.

  7. Rank 7. ‘naPizzà

    Neapolitan Pizzeria

    A Neapolitan pizza shop tucked into Etterbeek where the staff will happily make you something off-menu if you ask nicely, which tells you most of what you need to know about the room. The dough is soft and light, the ingredients are the kind that make you notice the ingredients, and the cacio e pepe pizza lands creamy and sharp without tipping into heavy. It ranked 59th on 50 Top Pizza Europe, which is a long way from nothing for a neighborhood spot in Brussels.

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
