The Top 100 Restaurants Near Beaucoup Fish

A Michelin-starred corner restaurant near the Brussels fish market where the menu is a surprise and the philosophy is not. The chef builds tasting menus around local, seasonal produce, then quietly pivots to something like wasabi sorbet without breaking a sweat. The room is deliberately unpolished, the wine list leans natural, and every decision on the plate seems to have been argued over before it arrived.

Tucked near the old fish market, this Greek taverna runs through a long modern corridor before opening into a brick-walled, wood-tabled room that feels lifted from a quieter part of Athens. The menu leans into mezzes and the kind of full-flavored cooking that makes a meal stretch pleasantly long. The wine list pulls from Greece and skews affordable. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Kobe Desramaults, who made his name at In De Wulf and Chambre Séparée, runs this Michelin-starred creative dining room in central Brussels with a lounge soundtrack and an open kitchen counter at its heart. The set menu changes daily, which keeps the chef honest and the regulars guessing. Expect bold, ingredient-focused cooking where the produce does most of the talking, and service polished enough to feel made-to-measure without being stiff about it.

A cobbled terrace on one of Brussels' cooler streets sets the tone for this laid-back bistro. The menu roams freely, landing somewhere between classic French technique and Mediterranean ease, with the occasional Thai detour just to keep things interesting. The wine list and local beers get as much attention as the food. Regulars seem to treat the place as a neighborhood right rather than a reservation.

Brutalist concrete and a casual room that makes no apologies for either. Kline is a modern neighborhood restaurant where the menu leans on local sourcing, vegetables, and seasonal instincts, with global flavors folded in wherever they fit. The à la carte lineup skews well toward vegetarian and is designed to share. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the kind of place where the food does the talking without the room dressing up for it.

Twelve stools around a counter, one table, three bells to signal the start of service, and a two-hour tasting menu in twelve courses that Sang Hoon Degeimbre shapes around Korean fermentation, fruit, and spice. The room reads like a speakeasy, all theatrical hush, and the food leans into doenjang, umami, and smoke rather than the usual European fine-dining playbook. A Michelin Selected restaurant tucked behind the noise of Rue de Flandre.

A cook pulls and folds noodles to order in full view of the dining room, which sets the tone for everything at this small, no-reservations noodle shop near the Théâtre de la Monnaie. The broth is Lanzhou-style, built deep and left unadorned. Michelin gave it a Bib Gourmand, and the lunch queue most days makes the argument more plainly. Go early, go hungry, and don't expect to linger.

Karen Torosyan's pâté en croûte, made by reservation only and shown to you unbaked before it goes into the oven, is the kind of production that makes you sit very still. This two-Michelin-star modern French restaurant occupies a Victor Horta Art Nouveau building, so the room is already doing a lot. The kitchen revives ancestral French and Belgian technique with a precision that borders on meditative, puff pastry very much included.

San Degeimbre's contemporary brasserie sits inside Brussels' converted rail freight terminus, a post-industrial complex that still feels faintly surprised to be hosting dinner. The menu roams Belgium, Peru, and Asia without asking permission, so waterzooi turns up with a jolt of yuzu and duck magret finds itself alongside soy and garlic in an orange sauce. The mezzanine counter overlooking the open kitchen is the seat to ask for.

The open kitchen takes center stage in this grand brasserie inside the Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria, where Christophe Hardiquest is doing something quietly ambitious with the classics. The menu runs Belgian and French brasserie through a more considered kitchen, so the vol-au-vent and shrimp fritters arrive with a little more intention than you'd expect. Traditional tableware, plush room, the kind of lunch that turns into afternoon.

The Art Nouveau interior by Horta, all stained glass and sinuous ironwork, sets the scene before anyone's opened a menu. This is classic fine dining in the old Brussels sense, the kind of room where sauces are taken seriously and the fourth generation of the same family is still running the pass. A Michelin star. The wine cellar doubles as a private dining room for those who want something a shade more contemporary.

A bistro on one of Brussels' more self-consciously cool streets, Selecto earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand by keeping things honest: a short set menu, blackboard specials, and modern French cooking that leans Mediterranean when the mood takes it. The flavors are direct and generous rather than architectural. The wine list tilts French without being smug about it. Regulars seem to have done the math on the prix fixe and decided there's nothing to argue about.

Tucked into the Sablon, one of Brussels' more self-satisfied corners, Senzanome is a fine dining room where the chef has spent years building a loyal following on Sicilian instincts run through a serious technical filter. The interior is cool and spare, pale tones and clean lines that step aside for the plate. Tasting menus carry the room's ambitions; the wine list leans deep Italian. It holds a spot on the 50 Top Italy ranking of the world's best Italian restaurants.

A two-Michelin-star restaurant that has traded its old corner spot opposite the Anderlecht slaughterhouses for a grand Belle Époque hotel, La Paix is mid-move and temporarily closed. The kitchen's signature territory is French technique pulled toward Japanese restraint, with serious seafood running through most of it. A destination fine dining room, the kind where you dress up and clear your afternoon.

The vaulted ceilings, dome windows, and stone columns of a former 18th-century bank set the stage here, and the room earns every dramatic glance. Belga Queen is a grand Brussels brasserie where classics share the menu with sharper modern cooking and a seafood bar that gets the most attention from the kitchen. The crowd tends toward people who like their lunch to feel like an occasion, which in this city is a reasonable number of people.

A flock of golden origami birds hangs from the ceiling of this Art Deco brasserie tucked inside the Galerie de la Reine, and the room has been quietly ignoring the decades ever since. The menu runs the same direction: shrimp fritters, veal kidneys in mustard cream, warm chocolate mousse. Classic Belgian comfort food, served without apology in a setting that makes the Grand Place feel almost too modern.

David Martin's fine dining room inside the Corinthia Grand Hotel sits beneath a restored stained-glass dome that makes the rest of Brussels feel a little underdressed. The Belle époque bones, marble fireplace, and fresh flowers set a scene that somehow avoids feeling stuffy. The modern French menu leans into Japanese inflections, and the kitchen's instinct is restraint: a few good things, pushed far enough to matter.

The organizing idea at this contemporary Vietnamese restaurant in Saint-Gilles is anh nhau, a tradition of sharing food and drink with people you like, which turns out to be a fine excuse to order three dishes minimum. The kitchen takes classical Vietnamese flavors somewhere quieter and stranger, lamb wontons and duck's tongues landing alongside smart cocktails. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the kind of place that makes a Tuesday feel considered.

A grocery-bakery at the door sets the tone before you've sat down. Savage is a plant-forward set-menu restaurant in the Saint-Boniface neighbourhood, where the single nightly lineup leans on herbs and vegetables, with meat or fish available to add from the refrigerated counter by the restrooms, which is a very Savage way to handle the choice. The terrace catches the neighbourhood's easy energy, and the cooking is precise enough that the radish cream and the marinated carrot get their own moment.

The slate menu here draws no line between starters and mains, which sets the tone for a casual, tightly packed eatery where the cooking roams freely between mezze, couscous, and grilled beef. The Mediterranean and French instincts sit comfortably together, and the wine list is short but considered. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where no one's trying to impress you, yet the kitchen clearly has ideas.

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.

The Matongé district's energy seeps right into this small neighborhood restaurant, where the cooking leans on old-school French comfort food with quiet creative detours. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, Le Tournant pairs unfussy, grandmother-style dishes with natural wines chosen by a sommelier who takes that job seriously. The room fills with locals who clearly have a regular table, and the food tastes like someone actually cooked it rather than assembled it.

A Spanish restaurant in Brussels where the menu moves comfortably between tapas, rice dishes, and something more composed without making a fuss about any of it. The kitchen leans into bold, direct flavors, the kind that don't need a lot of explaining. Casa Gerardo's celebrated chef is behind the project, which gives the cooking a serious backbone even when the room stays relaxed and unpretentious.

The terrace on Place du Grand Sablon goes red in fine weather, which tells you roughly what kind of crowd this French brasserie pulls. Beef carpaccio and vol-au-vent share the menu with pasta in salted butter, the kind of pedigree classics that have kept Sablon regulars coming back for as long as anyone can remember. Inside it's all clean, neutral tones, polished without trying too hard.

A small, no-frills Japanese restaurant tucked into a residential Schaerbeek street, with an open kitchen and just enough seats to make a reservation feel like a small victory. The chef cooks southern Japanese food from scratch, the kind built on careful seasoning and technique rather than show, and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for the trouble. A thoughtful sake list keeps pace with whatever comes out of that kitchen.

Sang Hoon Degeimbre, the chef behind L'Air du Temps, strips things back here to explore his Korean roots. In a minimalist room in Saint-Gilles, the kitchen puts out sharing plates built around hotpots, kimchi, and slow-cooked meats, the kind of food that reads as generous rather than studied. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the sort of contemporary Korean spot where the bill won't send you outside to quietly recalibrate.

Calf's brains in lemon sauce and veal kidneys in mustard sit comfortably alongside tagliata on a menu that refuses to pick a lane, which somehow works perfectly. This relaxed brasserie near the Sablon has the wood-panelled warmth of a place that feeds regulars who never glance at the menu, with a sunny terrace shielded from the street. Classic French cooking, a few Mediterranean detours, and French toast to finish.

A wood-lined counter in Ixelles where chef Kamo runs a quietly rigorous Japanese restaurant, Michelin-starred, with evenings given over to surprise tasting menus and lunches anchored by made-to-order sushi. The cooking is deceptively spare, built on the quality of raw fish rather than trophy ingredients. Minimal presentation, maximal attention to what's actually on the plate, which is the kind of restraint that takes years to pull off convincingly.

The chef builds the whole thing around short supply chains and hand-made pasta, keeping plates clean and unfussy so the ingredients carry the weight. A natural wine list and a summer terrace make it easy to stay longer than planned.

Gilded ceilings and frescoes of angels overhead, and a plant-based tasting menu below, which is either a contradiction or a perfect match. This Michelin-starred restaurant in Ixelles has been doing zero-waste, micro-seasonal vegetable cooking since well before it was a dinner-party talking point. The sommelière runs a beverage program serious enough to match the kitchen, and the whole operation publishes a sustainability report, because of course it does.

A whitewashed brick facade on a quiet side street near Porte de Namur, Umā is a relaxed bistro where the kitchen fuses Japanese technique with South American heat. Tuna sashimi comes in a shiso-and-dashi broth, duck arrives medium rare with curry and vadouvan, and a thread of gentle spice runs through the whole menu. The à la carte and set menus both cover the same territory, so the choice is really just how hungry you are.

The dining room inside a 17th-century stately home on Place Poelaert, all character and elegance with a pretty bar tucked alongside.

The vintage tiles and butcher's wainscoting are still intact, which tells you this was once a charcuterie and is now a snug sharing bistro in Saint-Gilles.

It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the price point matches the unpretentious mood.

The dining room sits on the top floor of a boutique hotel overlooking Brussels Park, and the room has the quiet confidence of somewhere designed by people who actually care about rooms. The contemporary French menu follows suit, with a chef whose cooking finds its edge in unexpected pairings rather than classical restraint.

Flamme is a buzzy gourmet bistro in Saint-Gilles where vegetables take the lead, treated with the kind of seriousness usually reserved for meat.

The elevator takes you to the 23rd floor, then you walk up two more flights of stairs, which feels like a prank until you see the view across Brussels from a glass-walled fine dining room perched above the city. The open kitchen puts the chef's precision on full display, and the cooking pairs delicate French technique with genuinely playful combinations. La Villa holds a Michelin star, and the à la carte option at lunch keeps it from feeling like a commitment.

An Italian osteria in Ixelles with a narrow focus: the cooking of Emilia Romagna, ingredients sourced directly from the region, no shortcuts. The menu reads like a love letter to Bologna, tagliatelle with ragù included, made the way it's supposed to be made rather than the way everyone else makes it. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand. Small, warm, and loud in the best sense, with regulars who clearly know the drill.
