Le Canard Sauvage Brussels

Le Canard Sauvage Brussels

Restaurant and bookshop

Stéphanie from Brussels

I'm a French expat from Nantes, in the west of France. My family roots are partly in Brittany and partly in the Caribbean (Guadeloupe), which gave me a curiosity for mixed cultures, learning languages, and experiencing different lifestyles. I moved to Brussels in 2009 and have been living here without a car ever since. I love exploring the city on foot, going off the beaten track to find charming,...
"The vibe is retro and boho, reminiscent of a canteen: parquet floor, recovered school tables and chairs, old fashioned posters."

If you're looking for a quiet, bohemian place to meet up with your girlfriends, Le Canard Sauvage is the right place! The wine menu will tickle your curiosity, while the classic dishes (lasagna, quiche, burgers...) guarantee that you go home with a full belly without breaking the bank. They do have more elaborate dishes (at a higher price point), and the food portions are generous, but it is not the main charm of the place.

Let's talk about the decor, which is mostly wood and plants. The vibe is retro and boho, reminiscent of a canteen: parquet floor, recovered school tables and chairs, old fashioned posters. Surprise, surprise, if you go up to the bar you will discover a small bookshop on the other side of the restaurant. The youth section is particularly appealing. All this makes Le Canard Sauvage an ideal place for daydreaming, teatime with the kids, teleworking (if you don't mind the music in the background), or catching up with friends and family.

I'm a French expat from Nantes, in the west of France.

I moved to Brussels in 2009 and have been living here without a car ever since. I love exploring the city on foot, going off the beaten track to find charming, underrated spots. I'm passionate about music and people, so you can count on me to scout the best places in town for live music! Professionally I combine these things by working in human resources by...
