Woodpeck 47 Brussels

Discover the Woodpecker Family

Charlotte from Brussels

About me I was born and raised in Belgium. At the age of 19, I moved to Brussels for my studies and absolutely fell in love with the city. I love Brussels both for its famous and touristic sites and its hidden gems. I really like to just leave my door and look for new places I haven't found or visited yet.

""Woodpeck 47", located a stone's throw from the Grand Place, has to be one of the best gourmet addresses in downtown Brussels!"

The Woodpecker Family welcomes you in its original place in Brussels -  at unusual or more classic locations, in the upper or lower part of the capital, in the most beautiful parks of the city or in the heart of the city. Woodpecker has five restaurants in the city and 4 guinettes; guinettes are bars in a park where you can have a drink or sometimes even a small snack or meal. Woodpecker focuses on homemade and local products. Whether it's the bread, the meats and vegetables or even the beers, they have selected some of the best Belgian products.

Open from dawn to dusk with a flexible menu, Woodpeck 47, located a stone's throw from the Grand Place, has to be one of the best gourmet addresses in downtown Brussels - all hanks to its formula, the "all day every day" brunches that can be enjoyed relaxing with friends in the restaurant or on the go.

You can come at any time of the day to savour refined, salty and sweet seasonal dishes. On the menu? The English brunch reworked with a Belgian twist and its tasty variations to please all palates. The menu features eggs in all their forms with the revisited eggs Benedict as the superstar: two perfectly poached eggs on a reinterpretation of the Brussels waffle filled with leeks and chives, all topped with gravlax salmon under a bed of hollandaise sauce... Mmmh, a pure delight!
