The story
For seventy years, La Villa Lorraine has been a fixture on the Brussels dining scene, evolving with the times while holding onto its essence. Today, under the direction of Chef Ruben Christiaens, the restaurant offers a contemporary culinary experience that is both premium and accessible.
The kitchen’s philosophy is clear: precision without rigidity, focused on the essentials. The approach is demanding yet generous, centering on taste, the quality of the product, and pure pleasure. The cooking is described as a modern, more readable and free expression of classic French techniques, avoiding unnecessary showmanship in favor of immediate, honest flavor.
This refined yet welcoming style has earned the restaurant a Michelin star, a recognition of its high-quality cooking and consistent execution. The setting complements the food, with options for outdoor seating in warmer months and a carefully curated wine list that enhances the meal.
Located on Avenue du Vivier d'Oie, La Villa Lorraine is open for lunch from Tuesday to Friday and for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday. It is a place where a long history meets a clear, modern vision—a restaurant that values substance over spectacle.
