What if your next gourmet outing were simply outside of Brussels? In Genappe, a spot well-known to lovers of large gatherings, Chez Georges has reopened after a few weeks of renovations, with the goal of making every meal a moment to savor. The result: a countryside brasserie that’s just as perfect for a family lunch as it is for dinner with friends.
A menu that pleases everyone
At Chez Georges, it’s the grill set up in the center of the dining room that immediately catches your eye. Even before the grilled dishes arrive, the restaurant sets the tone with a generous menu where everyone is sure to find something they’ll love. Platters of Italian charcuterie, assorted croquettes, or breaded fish —perfect for sharing— set the tone. Seafood lovers, meanwhile, can opt for the gray shrimp croquettes, wasabi tuna tartare, or house-smoked salmon. Vegetarians aren’t left out, with options like buffalo mozzarella served with grilled vegetables, organic tomatoes, and pesto, or an eggplant gratin with smoked scamorza. And for those who can’t decide, it’s hard not to be tempted by the smoked beef carpaccio with pesto and Parmesan or the thyme-roasted marrowbone.
A spot designed for lingering
Another good reason to make the trip all the way to Genappe? The setting and everything that makes you want to linger over your meal. On nice days, a terrace nestled in the heart of nature lets you enjoy the peaceful surroundings, while families can make use of an outdoor playground. And on Sundays, it’s time for brunch: a savory and sweet buffet, hot dishes, a whole roast carved right in front of guests, and homemade desserts make up this particularly generous spread.
Chez Georges alsofeatures private parking and event spaces. It’s a spot to keep in mind for when Brussels can wait—at least for the duration of a meal.
