More than thirty years later, Brasserie Lola has established itself as a true institution in the Sablon, a historic neighborhood of Brussels. A hub for renowned antique dealers, gallery owners, and chocolatiers, this bridge between the upper and lower parts of the city provides a prestigious setting for this establishment, which brings the square to life with its one-of-a-kind terrace and distinctive façade.
Inside, the restaurant offers a contemporary and welcoming setting that mastersthe art of hospitality with refined simplicity. The subdued decor subtly blends neutral tones, wood, and stone, centered around a majestic central bar that makes a striking impression as soon as you walk in. Don’t forget the versatile mezzanine for your private events: the venue adapts to every need, from intimate gatherings to large after-work parties or birthday celebrations.
Belgian specialties and seasonal creations: Lola’s signature culinary offerings
On the plate, Brasserie Lola champions flavorful, authentic, and unpretentious cuisine, designed to delight regulars as the seasons change. Diners come here to savor the must-try shrimp croquettes or a vol-au-vent filled with sweetbreads and poultry, served with crispy fries. Seafood lovers aren’t left out, thanks to delicious mussels and fries—available either “à la marinière” or in a cream, garlic, and white wine sauce—to be savored with a breathtaking view of the square.
Far from being bound by tradition, the restaurant regularly updates its menu based on the freshest seasonal ingredients. Food lovers will discover bolder contemporary creations here, such as zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta and lemon, lobster salad with bisque vinaigrette, or the delicate catch of the day served with a reduced fish bone jus.
