Eat & Drink

Where to eat and drink in Brussels, commune by commune and craving by craving. The neighbourhood guides cover Ixelles, Uccle, Anderlecht, Jette, Laeken, Evere, Auderghem, Watermael-Boitsfort and both Woluwes, so you can find a table near where you live instead of always heading to the centre.

The rest is sorted by kitchen and by mood: Italian, Thai, Indian, Moroccan, Lebanese and Syrian, Greek, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Indonesian, African and Mexican, plus sushi and ramen. Then come the everyday spots (kebabs, fries, burgers, pizza, bagels, poke bowls, cheap lunches, all-you-can-eat) and the sweet side, from bakeries and chocolatiers to waffles, ice cream, crêpes and donuts. Coffee gets its own corner: specialty roasters, tea rooms, bubble tea, matcha and the cafés where you can sit down and work. Veggie and vegan addresses have their own guide too.
