This place might NOT be the typical Greek restaurant with Corinthian pillars and dancing waiters, but it’s definitely one of my favorite spots to score a typical Greek dish when I’m in the Midi region. No fancy inside, this is a Greece style taverna.
Go into the kitchen to check out for yourself what the day dishes are – they don’t have a menu – two minutes later a huge portion is served at your table. Excellent stuff is the stuffed pepper and the moussaka, which goes along very well with a glass of malamatina retsina.

Funny to find this here. The first time I was at Rue de l’Argonne was in 1973 eating Greek. At the time I had Greek lunch and dinner at the various restaurants in the same street.
It has now become a tradition when I go to Holland and make the side trip to Brussels. It has also become a tradition for my brother-in-law who lives in Holland. In April of this year we drove down to Brussels, walk around the place, avoiding tourist traps where possible, and end the day with a meal at Rue de l’Argonne.
A colleague here in Vancouver, Canada is going to Brussels and I told him to try this. Eat Greek in Belgium!
I was invited by local friends in this Greek eatery, for the 1st time… 30 years ago! And I’ve returned many times since! Whilst it is a long time ago now, I know that nothing has changed, really. The same food, in the same pots, in the same kitchen. Greece in Brussels! And very affordable.
