Brussels now has fourteen new Brusselicious restaurants. Brusselicious is a quality label awarded to Brussels-based restaurants which serve up authentic Belgian and Brussels cuisine.
In total, more than forty establishments across the Brussels-Capital Region are now proud holders of the Brusselicious label.
The demand for typically Belgian dishes is on the rise in the capital. Many visitors, both local and international, are seeking an authentic Belgian culinary experience. To meet this growing demand, visit.brussels relaunched the Brusselicious quality label last year, with an external jury selecting some thirty restaurants across the Brussels-Capital Region.
Each of these establishments received a label featuring the Brusselicious logo, which can be displayed inside or outside the establishment. The recognition also comes with increased visibility on brusselicious.brussels and other visit.brussels communication channels.
Now the list has received its first update. Fourteen new restaurants have been added, all of which were visited by food journalists who are part of the independent Brusselicious jury.
Restaurants offering traditional Belgian dishes were evaluated based on exacting criteria: quality, authenticity, origin and freshness of ingredients, cooking techniques, the Belgian character of the establishment and the overall value for money.
The new Brusselicious restaurants
The vibrancy of Brussels’ restaurant scene is clearly reflected in the growing number of label holders. In addition to last year’s selection, fourteen new establishments have now earned the right to display the Brusselicious label. Among them are iconic restaurants from the city centre such as Taverne du Passage, Le Corbier, Brasserie Ommegang, and Belga Queen. Other Brussels districts are also well represented: Les Potes en Toque in Ganshoren, Le Waterloo in Saint-Gilles, Les Brassins in Ixelles, Timber in Watermael-Boitsfort, and Au Repos de la Montagne in Uccle have all been added to the list. The jury also honoured long-standing favourites like Au Stekerlapatte in the Marolles district and the Michelin-starred Pigeon Noir.
Newcomers such as Brasserie Boemvol, Kartouche and Le petit bonbon were also recognised shortly after opening.
Restaurant owners can request to be evaluated by the external jury.
