(Rue Fossé aux Loups 32 in Brussels, Belgium)

Antoine Pinto's desire to create getaway spaces which offer a gastronomic trip throughout Belgium is... the foundation of the Belga Queen brasserie adventure. In a landmark building dating from the 18th century (previously housing the Hôtel de la Poste and then the Crédit du Nord bank) Antoine Pinto created an establishment breaking away from the traditional brasserie, elbow-to-elbow style. Contemporary architecture and gastronomy meet each other in an amazing way. At Belga Queen the Belgian cuisine is adapted to today's taste, lightened and given a very national touch through the addition of beer to numerous dishes. Original, high-quality products are chosen with care from Belgian artisans who still have respect for the soil. The wines come from Belgian producers and the Ponti coffee is from a selection of 'pure Arabica' coffee beans from various continents and roasted locally. All these characteristics make the brasserie Belga Queen the ambassador of "made in Belgium". A brasserie where, either for a business dinner or for a meal shared with friends and family, all your senses are stimulated: taste, touch, hearing, sight and smell. [moreless]

(Avenue Broustin 73?75 in Brussels, Belgium)

Two stars shine especially bright in the Capital of Europe's gastronomic constellation. These are th...ose of Jean-Pierre Bruneau's restaurant, which for 30 years has been perfecting a culinary art that is unanimously acclaimed by real gourmets. Although he respects tradition and well-known recipes, the chef is always seeking to offer a cuisine that is innovative and imaginative yet excludes any eccentricity. Working with the finest products in the tranquillity of his elegant house, Bruneau is therefore not the least bit proud to offer only the very best to a clientele as loyal as it is cosmopolitan. Not only does the caviar come direct from Iran and the truffles from the Carpentries, but the fish, the shell fish, the meat, the poultry and the game are also chosen with the greatest care. And if the cook receives only the 'nec plus ultra' from his numerous suppliers, it is because he has a secret shared by only a few of the country's restaurateurs today: rising early, in order to go to the morning market, as fresh produce is a guarantee of quality. Maintaining good and strong friendships is equally as important. Bruneau in Brussels, whose establishment (with private lounge and garden) nestles in the elegant avenue Rousting, in the shade of the imposing Koekelberg Basilique, is therefore an address that cannot be ignored. But it is reserved for real connaisseurs!
