The restaurants

They are several small restaurants at walking distance. Here are the ones we have tried and liked most:

- 't Potverdoemmeke : Despite this very complicated name this small restaurant only 300m away is one of our favorite. It serves traditional Belgium food and I would definitely advise the carbonnade with French fries. In dessert, the Gaufre de Bruxelles 't Potverdoemmeke is a specialty I never refuse.




- Le Zinneke : The best restaurant for mussles in Brussels. Other dishes are on the menu but one of the 69 recipes of mussles will probably convince you.


- Bucca di Bacco : Italian restaurant. No pizza here but an excellent Italian traditional food in a nicely decorated room.



- Stella d'Italia :  Italian restaurant, ideal for a dinner with friends. Pizze are not expensive but tasty. Regularly full but you can also take away.

- Chez marraine : Burger restaurant that opened in 2017.



- Don Luis : Portugese restaurant with nice wines and tapas.


Other restaurants to try : Brasserie Broadway, Poseidon (Greek).
