Escorts in Brussels

Dining out is certainly one of the pleasures of Brussels. Widely known for the quality of its food, Brussels offers various restaurants to suit anyone’s budget, with a range of both local and international cuisines. With so many choices of places to eat, you may find yourself asking, “Where should I eat?” or “Where should I begin my culinary trip?”

A good place to start your culinary adventure is La Quincaillerie. Located in the Ixelles district, this charming and trendy bistro was once a hardware store. The interior still retains much of the original décor – wood panelling, a giant clock, wrought-iron staircase, and walls of storage drawers, designed in gorgeous art nouveau style by students of Victor Horta, Brussels’ renowned art nouveau architect. The restaurant is always busy, with visitors ranging from local business people to famous people from all over Europe that include Gerard Depardieu, The Gypsy Kings, and Helmut Kohl. Shellfish, oysters, and lobsters are house specialities. Delicious and heartier meat dishes are also available, including baked ham and duck with lime, as well as fish. The popular ‘What the Bosses are Having Today’ three-course lunch special is served from Monday to Friday. The menu changes each week to ensure that only fresh ingredients are used, and despite the excellent quality, the food is very reasonably priced.

Another favourite among the locals is Aux Armes de Bruxelles. A reliable choice among the many tourist traps near the Grand Place, this restaurant serves Belgian traditional cuisine, such as oysters or chips with mayonnaise, and fish or chicken in a creamy soup with vegetables, known as waterzooi. In addition, the place is also famous for its variety of steaks. The surroundings are cheerful and light, and the service is friendly and efficient.

When you have had enough of the local food, or if you want some variety, go to the Blue Elephant. This popular restaurant serves world-renowned Thai cuisine, using fresh ingredients flown in all the way from Bangkok. With the warm hospitality and relaxing atmosphere (enhanced by deep yellow lighting, beautiful floral arrangements, and colourfully painted walls), it is easy to see why Blue Elephant has more than a dozen branches around the world, including London, New Delhi, Dubai, and Jakarta. House specialities include pad Thai, beef panang, Thai chicken curry, and salmon curry. The tofu dishes also offer great alternatives for vegetarian diners.

If you love Japanese food, you will certainly not want to miss dining at Samourai, probably the best Japanese restaurant in Brussels. Hidden in one of the city’s side streets, this comfortable little Japanese restaurant offers authentic and delicious Japanese food that is highly regarded by the Japanese who turn up here. As with most Japanese restaurants, Samourai is not cheap, and you may want to book in advance since the place is always packed.

Finally, a dining experience in Brussels will not be complete without a visit to L’Idiot du Village, a trendy little bistro that serves both French and Belgian cuisine. Rabbit stew with bacon and sea bass with lentils are some of the specialities served here. French favourites include coquilles Saint-Jacques, tatin de boudin, and foie gras. There are only eight tables, so it is necessary for you to book in advance, but it is certainly worth the effort. The Brussels dining experience is something that tourists won’t easily forget.
