The best sushi in Belgium, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide, The 50, and Le Fooding have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Menssa comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Antwerp and Brussels.
More Less
Nonbe Daigaku and Ko'uzi hold the next two places. Le Fooding shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with the Michelin Guide next.
-
Rank 1. Menssa
Sushi
Guests eat at an undulating counter beneath a carved wooden tree, which sets the tone for what follows: a Michelin-starred tasting menu built around sustainable sourcing and a deep affection for the Belgian region. Christophe Hardiquest shapes a menu that treats mushrooms and Ardennes venison with the same seriousness, and the sommelier's pairings come at prices that won't require a lie-down afterward.

Rank 2. Nonbe Daigaku
Sushi
A snug Japanese eatery tucked between Cambre wood and a university, where the chef waves at you from behind the counter like he's been expecting you. The room runs on old-school sushi-bar energy: tradition-first cooking, precise technique, and an omakase option for those who'd rather let him decide. The à la carte is wide enough to keep regulars coming back, and the whole place has the quiet authority of somewhere that's been around forever. Book ahead.

Rank 3. Ko'uzi
Sushi
A street-corner sushi spot on Leopoldplaats where the rice comes at room temperature, the way it should. The chef pairs clean, straightforward salmon maki with more restless ideas, like grilled red mullet topped with confit lemon, and the whole menu earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand for it. Sashimi, salads, and a solid take-away selection round things out, and sushi-making workshops run for anyone who wants to try their luck.
