I really thanked my past self for booking in advance because we had an absolutely delightful experience here. We tried some croquettes to start, had mussels for main and made sure to save some space for the house made speculoos tiramisu. It was hard to pick which mussels to have with 30 choices but choose we did! The food was really delicious, the dining room had a relaxed vibe and service was really lovely. The restaurant was fully booked on a December Tuesday night when we visited so I highly recommend making a reservation if you don’t want to miss out!

Absolutely outstanding. I admit that I’ve never been the world’s biggest fan of Belgian food or of mussels, so I was a little bit skeptical when my friend suggested we grab dinner at this place. But since we were in Brussels anyway, I figured we might as well try to get the full Belgian experience and try both mussels and beer. Le Chou de Bruxelles certainly did not disappoint — the food was outstanding, the service impeccable, and the space delightful.
The mussels were remarkably fresh and were a bit briny (as all mussels must be) but weren’t overly fishy. Le Chou de Bruxelles offers a wide swath of sauces you can pair with your mussels, which is super fun; I ended up doing a more classic combo with white wine, garlic, and several herbs, but it was super tasty — the herbs were super fresh and brightened up the overall dish, and the white wine was a lovely pairing with the shellfish. We also got their caprese salad, which was super tasty; the mozzarella was incredibly fresh and the tomato was perhaps the best tomato my friend had ever tried. It was presented in a rather entertaining way, with the tomato cut in half and hollowed out, then with the mozzarella packed inside the tomato.
The service was also phenomenal and absolutely on-point. We were seated in the back of the restaurant right next to the patio door, so a few bees flew in and circled around our heads during our meal, but the staff was super friendly in helping us push the bees back outside. Vibes-wise, the restaurant is gorgeous and lively. It’s a little bit out of the way from Central Brussels, so you end up with a good mix of locals and tourists. Absolutely love this spot and can’t wait to come back in my next trip to Brussels!

This restaurant is a great find with a welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. We started with the Croquettes de Crevettes, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with a rich, flavorful shrimp mixture. A solid appetizer that set the stage for the meal.
For the main courses, we had the Moules du Chef and the Carbonnade de Joue de Bœuf à la Bière. The mussels were fresh and cooked beautifully, served in a flavorful sauce made with wine, ginger, garlic, and cream. The balance of flavors was spot on, making it the highlight of the meal. The beef carbonnade, while generously portioned and tender, didn’t quite stand out in comparison—it was good but not particularly memorable.
Service was excellent. Despite arriving without a reservation, the staff quickly found us a table and remained attentive throughout.
Overall, this place delivers fresh seafood, well-prepared dishes, and great hospitality. While not everything wowed us, it’s definitely worth a visit, especially for the mussels!

We had a lovely dinner at this cozy restaurant. Since mussels were in season, we tried three variations: classic with herbs, tomato, and truffle cream. All were excellent, but if you’re after a stronger flavor, go for the tomato base. The mussels were large and juicy, with a generous serving of vegetables at the bottom of the pot. The fries on the side were also delicious, pairing perfectly with the mayo. The restaurant fills up quickly, even on a weekday evening, so reservations are highly recommended.

This was an amazing way to experience true Belgian cuisine. For starters we had the duo which was cheese and shrimp croquettes. The mussels we had were the 7 herbs and pepper. My favorite was the pepper one.

Professional staff, nice ambient, mixed customers, fair prices.
The staff allowed us to sit down before they officially opened and let customers stay after official closing hour during the day (12-2pm).
There was a misunderstanding in the order of the desert and we got it replaced and weren’t charged for it.
The music was perfectly chosen to the ambient. After official opening hour, the music changed, which was funny to observe.
The restaurant is visited by regulars, elders, and tourists. The chef came greeting the regulars.
The menu is big, the portions are large, the prices are fair.

We were fortunate to have had a reservation and visit this amazing hidden gem serving a variety of clams. We ordered the salad and one dish of mussels with parsley white wine and cream which was an absolute delight paired with an amazing pinot Grigio. Thank you for the wonderful meal and this restaurant is a not to be missed experience in Brussels.?
