Restaurant Alexandre – A touch of New Nordic Cuisine in Brussels
Ok, so where do I start. I have
so many impressions and feelings towards Restaurant Alexandre, which is located
just on Rue du Midi that I have to be careful not to drool on my keyboard when
thinking back to this outstanding lunch.
Two and two
makes four and Italy plus Israel makes one amazing lunch. No, I didn’t have a
glass of wine too much, but this is what is awaiting you at Racines in
Brussels just on 26 April for lunch or dinner. Celebrating two unique cuisines
that combine some incredible ingredients, chef Alaa Musa and Ugo Federico managed
to turn a dream marriage into reality.
There is a number of restaurants you
shouldn’t miss. SAN Sablon was kind of in the back of my head, as a restaurant
I could visit one day but not as one that is a must-do, such as La Buvette
(which I would always keep on my to-do list) or Humphrey (this I would cross
from it). Not seeing SAN Sablon as a must-must-must-go is definitely a mistake,
because you’ll miss out on something culinary impressing and beautiful.
Some time ago, my dear friend Jessica May Thompson visited me for a couple of days in Brussels and shows you in this short video how it is to spend a foodie day with me.
Beef brisket and pulled pork is just what Brussels needed; a Texas BBQ place where no vegetarian
would set foot in, where you can enjoy meat with that unique smoky taste along
with a homemade barbecue sauce and enjoy along with a cold lager.
Soup. Soup can be quite a boring dish, but when prepared well and
with the right spices it can be a unique experience. Especially Asian soups
with lots of spices and interesting ingredients are something that many people,
me included, are crazy about.
When we arrived in front of Nonbe Daigaku on a rainy Saturday evening (Hello Brussels!), I was a bit hesitant whether this was really the place that looked so nice on the pictures I had previously seen. There was a big phone number made from red tape, glued to the window, a not too inviting entrance door and a quite worn-down facade.
Natural wine -
what is that? Normally, this means that the wine is produced without any
chemical additives, like sulphites. As soon as even a small quantity of these
is added (at bottling for example) one speaks of organic wines and not natural
anymore. But lines are blurred here and there is no strict regulation, which is
why one natural can differ to some extent from another one.
I am always a bit scared to go
back to restaurants twice. It happened too many time already that when coming
back the food wasn’t as good, because the cook had a bad day, or the service
wasn’t as nice as the first time I went, or the restaurant has decided to
change its interior entirely, sometimes to a worse in my opinion. It’s some
kind of non-fulfillment of expectations anxiety. But on the other hand, like
this I can be really certain to recommend a restaurant: when it was great many
times.
‘La Buvette’ has been far up on my to-do list since I moved to
Brussels in November. The old butchery that was turned into a stylish
restaurant, serving beautifully looking dishes, seemed like a place that I
could like. It also reminded me of some places that I used to go to when I
lived in Paris. The chef Nicolas Scheidt from Alsace and co-chef Damien Brunet
from Bretagne, do a great job representing French inspired cuisine in Brussels.
New year, new spot. La Figoule, located
quite towards the end of Avenue Louise, not far from Bois de la Cambre, is a
new restaurant that popped up about four months ago.
40 years old. That’s quite something, isn’t
it?! To be precise, it’s the age of a lovely Portuguese restaurant in St
Gilles, Brussels, called Coimbra.
This post is certainly not for vegetarians. Or maybe it is, because if you see this delicious piece of steak it might make you want to eat meat again.
Hi, I'm Kaja, I'm German and I like bread. At least that's the cliché and I am definitely meeting it. Living a year in Paris didn't change this situation, it made it even worse. A dinner without a piece of baguette or nice piece of bread?! Impossible! Dipped in the remaining sauce of the main course (which is a do in some countries and a don´t in others, but if I like a dish I want to finish it to the bitter end!) or to accompany some cheese at the end of a meal, doesn't matter, it's an essential part.
I was a bit sceptic when I re-moved to Brussels. I lived here four years ago, for two months and to be honest, I wasn't a big fan. It was grey, rainy and not very exciting. To be fair, though, I wasn't in town for a single weekend, escaping to Berlin, Paris or Maastricht whenever I could.
This has now changed. I'm "stuck" here for a bit longer and I don't mind this at all. I have started looking for cafés, restaurants, bars and other nice places and I was quite surprised what Brussels has to offer.
