1. La Fabrique

La Fabrique

Any bon vivant will absolutely love La Fabrique. Except for the bread, everything at La Fabrique is homemade, and they even make their own herbal tea. The only problem here is choosing exactly what to eat among the huge selection of tempting meals at the buffet. This spot is chic and comfortable and is very popular, so be sure to arrive early on for brunch or book your table in advance.

5. Le Pain Quotidien

Le Pain Quotidien

This international brand operates 200 restaurants worldwide and if you have already been, you know why it’s so popular. This story began in Brussels in 1990 when the founder, Alain Coumont, disappointed with the quality of bread available in Brussels, decided to bake his own. Le Pain Quotidien doesn’t just offer bread, though — you can select from a huge array of possibilities. Try the organic pot au feu with quinoa or their Belgian beef tartine.

Les Fils à Maman

Once upon a time, four gourmets founded a restaurant that would offer dishes from their childhood. In this fairy tale venue, there are no princesses nor dragons, only tasty dishes and satisfied clients who love to come back again. A price for a brunch combo is reasonable considering it includes two drinks and dessert as well. Decoration is simple but the wall covered with pictures will catch your attention and bring back memories from the 80’s.
