Brasseries Georges Brussels

André from Brussels

About me I was born in Malta a few decades ago and spent my childhood running barefoot along the sea. Since then I have lived, studied and worked in various European cities until I settled in Brussels in 2008. The sea, however, stays in my blood. Throughout my life, I have done several things.

Brasseries Georges Brussels

Seafood haven

""Brasseries Georges" is one of the veritable culinary institutions of Brussels. I like its shellfish and beef cuts and its long, continuous opening hours!"

Brasseries Georges is one of the veritable culinary institutions of Brussels. Sitting opposite the Bois de la Cambre, in the upmarket quarter of Uccle, Brasseries Georges is equally known for its fresh shellfish stand --including mussels, oysters, shrimps and lobster-- as for its variety of beef cuts. The menu even includes a drawing of a cow, explaining where the different cuts come from. I particularly like their fried potatoes, cooked in duck fat. Admittedly it might not be the healthiest option but they are tasty!

Brasseries Georges also boasts a classy interior, decorated with mahogany bars, shiny copper railing and large wall mirrors, dating from several decades ago when it first opened. It also has a nice terrace where the shellfish stand is usually displayed.

One thing I like about this restaurant, apart from the consistency in the quality of its food and service, is its long and continuous opening hours. There aren't that many places in Brussels where you can expect to order proper food continuously from lunch all the way to dinner. And to top it off, it comes with a voiturier service, so you don't even have to worry about parking before digging in!

Perché rooftop bar

Drinks with a view

The Perché rooftop bar is on top of the JAM hotel, which is why not many people wander up here, but it's so worth it! It has a great view and comfy chairs.

A Japanese corner

If you come with a group, I suggest taking the “Moriawase” (Japanese for “assortment”), a larger plate that is easier to share and to try different things.
