The story

Chou in Brussels – Michelin-Recommended Belgian Restaurant in Ixelles

Cooking as an Act of Love

At Chou in Brussels, the kitchen speaks a personal language. The restaurant’s philosophy is clear: "Cooking is an act of love that we share with our guests." The team’s passion is rooted in a deep respect for raw ingredients and the people who cultivate them. This farm-to-table approach is central to the dining experience, where the menu is a reflection of what is beautiful and seasonal.

A Menu Built on Quality

The à la carte selection at Chou reads like a tribute to fine produce. Starters might include a scallop tartare with Granny Smith apple jelly and Oscietra sturgeon caviar, or a duck foie gras terrine with quince and vanilla chutney. Main courses range from roasted rack of lamb with eggplant caviar and goat cheese mousse to a dry-aged Simmental T-bone steak for two. Vegetarian options, such as a courgette stuffed with chili-spiced beans and quinoa, are treated with equal care. A business lunch is available on weekdays, offering a starter and main course at a fixed price.

Recognition and Atmosphere

Chou’s commitment to quality has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, a natural fit for a restaurant that approaches its craft with such sincerity. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, letting the food and a carefully curated wine list take centre stage. Whether you come for a weekday lunch or a leisurely dinner, the team invites you to be curious and open to the best each terroir has to offer.
