In Brussels, you can enjoy some of the best Middle Eastern food you will ever try. However, with time, it might get hard to try something new and special. When a colleague suggested having dinner at “le Conteur”, little did I know I would have discovered one of my new favorite places for Middle-Eastern cuisine.
Le Conteur is located in the city center of Brussels, just a few steps away from the renowned Grand Place. The elegant interiors that welcome you with a bar counter and an open-plan kitchen, will make you feel like you have just left Brussels and are about to enjoy your dinner in a far land. The concept is to share different plates and celebrate life: who does not like a plan like this? Dishes come with bold and rich flavors, which blend different cultures and cuisines. Our choices fell on some mezze, including a tasty paprika hummus accompanied by freshly baked bread, Octopus Mashawsha, and Chicken Mussakhan. The real star of the menu was the Chou Grillé, which came with mouth-watering feta cream and tahini: It made me rethink my hatred for greens.
The cocktails are also excellent (and on Mondays the first one is on the house). About life’s celebration: during the service, cooks and waiters join the restaurant hall to dance and make a toast (L’chaim as they say in Hebrew!) to life with a round of shots. The perfect place to spice up your dinner plans and taste great food. To life!
