Certo Brussels
Hungry and thirsty
Certo is one of my favourite addresses in Brussels, a tiny Italian restaurant on a corner just behind Place Saint Boniface. Once inside, you immediately feel the right atmosphere that belongs to an Italian restaurant. You immediately imagine you're n Rome or Milan. There are only a few tables, so it is best to book in time (only via SMS).
Federico Mazzoni, the owner of this restaurant and a native of Rome, doesn't beat around the bush, he loves good food and good drinks. So he is the perfect host to guide you through a great night out. The menu is not extensive and changes almost weekly except for a few classics (try their cacio & pepe).
Leave your choice of wine to the host -he has a cellar full of fantastic wines and will surprise your taste buds with a delicious bottle. Here it's all about atmosphere and coming home to Italy.

Chinese Hot Pot
You order a bouillon, which can have different bases, meat or veggie options. Add the sauces, what you would like to eat and then the magic happens.

CHARDIN
Salty waffles and tasty burgers
The crispiness of the chicken perfectly matched the softness of the freshly made waffle, and the teriyaki sauce was just the “savory” cherry on top.

Altitude 100
Highest point in town
"Altitude 100" in Brussels is a fascinating place in the commune of Forest in Brussels. I like it's a church in the center of a big roundabout!

Greek Delicatessen in Schuman
My favorite is Spanakopita, a buttery & flaky phyllo pastry with a filling of cooked spinach and feta cheese. For dessert I recommend a slice of Bougatsa!
