The story

Chez Monsieur Yang in Brussels brings authentic Sichuanese hotpot to Ixelles

The Golden Vessel and Broth Foundations

At Chez Monsieur Yang in Brussels, Sichuanese hotpot remains the quiet focus of every table. Guests receive clear instructions from the staff before touching the central brass pot. You choose a base from spicy, mushroom, or tomato broths. These simmering liquids set the stage for precise cooking techniques that define the restaurant’s approach to Chinese cooking.

Fresh Cuts and Garden Vegetables

The menu encourages careful selection rather than rushed plating. Thin slices of raw beef and tender pork meatballs sit beside firm chunks of Cantonese sausage and marinated tofu. Diners can also order boneless chicken feet, duck intestines, or blocks of pig blood curd. Crispy pork and prawn dumplings provide a satisfying contrast before the main course begins.

Lantern Light and Guided Service

Woven wicker lanterns hang above the dining space. The staff circulate quietly to ensure each pot maintains the correct temperature throughout the meal. Finished plates are complemented by creamy mango pudding dotted with chewy tapioca pearls. This Le Fooding listed eatery balances traditional preparation with straightforward hospitality.

Mr. Yang’s mission on earth is to remind people that a hotpot is not a Wi-Fi connection. As the hot spot for Sichuanese hotpot in Brussels, this smart eatery decorated with dozens of wicker lanterns promptly earns extra points for the staff who show you how to work it (an understanding of Chinese or English is preferable). The instructions: fill the golden vessel that’s heating up on the table with one of the broth bases (spicy, mushroom or tomato), before dunking your choice of meat in the hot liquid, like raw or spicy beef, pork meatballs, tripe, Cantonese sausage, marinated tofu, cuttlefish, or for something a little more hardcore, boneless chicken feet, duck intestines or (shudders) chunks of pig blood curd; vegetables (enoki mushrooms, sliced yam, chrysanthemum, corn on the cob, okra, sea lettuce – plenty for concocting a vegetarian version) and very hot sauces. Before all that, there are a few starters (crispy pork and prawn dumplings). And if you’ve still got room, creamy mango pudding with funny little tapioca pearls, for a little respite. // Jean Gourmand
