Aux armes de Bruxelles - our rating (4/5) "This is probably the best restaurant located in the famous Rue des Bouchers. Others are mainly tourist traps... It's the only restaurant that doesn't employ a loudmouthed tourist-snatcher at the door. For more... click here

In 't Spinnekopke - our rating (3/5) In The Spiders Little Head is indeed a strange place to run a restaurant, but the name refers to the long history of this charming place, opened in 1762. Great food, especially the beer cuisine, moderately priced (main courses approximately 13$) and, of course, theres an extensive beer list. Place du Jardin aux fleurs 1 (Center) Phone: 02.511. 86. 95

Je Rève - our rating (3/5) This restaurant, in the lively Botanique neighbourhood, has probably the most inspiring and daring interior in Brussels. Inspiration for the food seems to come from all over the world. There are dim sums on the menu, but also kangaroo steaks. For the less adventurous there is also more traditional Belgian food. Rue de Meridien 4 (Botanique Area) Phone: 02.218. 38.13

L'idiot du Village - our rating (3/5) At L'Idiot du Village the eight tables are reserved night after night for dishes like goat cheese terrine, grilled langoustines with tomato, stewed rabbit with bacon, grilled sea bass on a bed of creamy lentils and warm apple tart with cinnamon ice cream. And even though no attention is paid to the specialties that have come to be associated with Belgian cuisine, it's as typical of Belgium as carbonnades. Rue Notre-Seigneur 19 (Center) Phone: 02.502.55.82

L'Atelier de la Truffe Noire - our rating (4/5) This restaurant is excellent but dreadfully expensive. Last year, Italian chef Luigi Cicieriello, who runs the incredible La Truffe Noire (The Black Truffle), opened this place, serving first class fast food. Nice modern setting, open all day (also for breakfast: omelette with truffle + glass of champagne = BEF 650/EUR 15), great food, reasonably priced. The restaurant also incorporates a shop. 300 Avenue Louise (Center) Phone: 02.640.54.55
