Tatar Brussels

Tartars in all forms and cocktails

Emilia from Brussels

I'm Emilia, I'm Italian and I have been living in Brussels since 2018. I'm a food enthusiast who loves discovering new spots, as well as experimenting with different cuisines by cooking for friends and family. Why Brussels?

"Tatar was born with the intent to bring together a fine cuisine that mixes Mediterranean and Japanese tastes and mixology. Cocktails wise, I chose Osaka!"

Being a great tartars lover, I couldn’t miss a visit to Tatar. Little did I know that getting a reservation was not a piece of cake. The lucky day came on a Wednesday evening in June, blessed by good weather. A simple but elegant décor, where wooden tables and bricks on the wall, paired with shiny green tiles, welcome you.

Tatar was born with the intent to bring together a fine cuisine that mixes Mediterranean and Japanese tastes, and mixology. Therefore, our cocktail was the first ‘dish’ we ordered. My choice fell on the Osaka: vodka, peppermint sake, oolong tea and cucumber. Let’s just say one of the best cocktails I had in Brussels. And it's definitely the right way to start the dinner.

I must admit: this was one of the most interesting menus I had ever had to navigate. Luckily, I brought with me the right company to share different plates. We ordered a starter to share, which included soft wagyu meat and oysters, and then we tried both a sea bream tartar and a beef tartar à la Coréen. Everything was just mind-blowing. Both fish and meat were accurately marinated and brought an explosion of taste that would be very hard to forget. The menu also tempted us with a fresh cheesecake with bay leaf, kumquat and pollen, to conclude the dinner. The overall experience was great and definitely made Tartar a new must-go address to keep in mind for upcoming special dinner plans.
