About La Villette
La Villette restaurant, opposite lovely St Catherine Church, is as Belgian as it can possibly be. The charming old stucco-fronted building is overhung with awnings, while inside the quaint checkered table cloths, rust wood-panelled walls, country chairs, old framed advertising, and chalkboard menu of specials make this a landmark of postcard Belgian-ness. Yes, you will find tourists here, but also savvy locals who understand that La Villette boasts a more imaginative menu, especially of la cuisine á la biére, than most St Catherine’s establishments. Its forty-strong carte of beers is a powerful incentive, too. Try starter of hot brochette of small Belgian sausages served with two jams, Belgian endive and onion, main course of seasonal mussels with escargot sauce or Fleish beef stew with Maredsous beer, and dessert of crème brûlée ‘the Chimay’s way’, unlike any you’ve tried before.
On arrival, please inform the restaurant that your booking was made via Toptable.
Opening hours:
Mon - Fri 12pm - 2:30pm & 6:30pm - 10:30pm Sat 7pm - 11:30pm Sun: closed all day

La Villette is a long established restaurant with a traditional Belgian menu, friendly service and menus in French, Flemish and English. The homemade cheese or shrimp croquettes are excellent as are the homemade desserts. In an area dominated by fish restaurants, La Villette has a short seafood menu and Belgian favourites such as carbonnade de boeuf, waterzoi, a variety of steaks and tempting daily specials on the blackboard.
Review
La Villette was a fantastic restaurant well located in Brussels, I had the Moules et Frites which was fantastic, there was almost too many mussels than I could eat. Service was great, food arrived quickly and the beer menu was great. Definately would recommendReview
A review alone does no do justice to how amazing the food and atmosphere of this place is! Bistro style restaurant serving local Belgian food… Boyfriend and I both had the escargot in pastry for starters, followed by lamb for him and guinea fowl with a cherry beer sauce for me.. one word – “fabulous!!” a must try is their homemade desserts.. utterly divine. Would definitely go again, and recommend to anyone who wants to try out local food at its best!Visitors
