A successful barbecue begins long before you light the charcoal. It starts the moment you find the perfect grilled meats, the mezze that everyone loves, and the still-warm bread that disappears before the meal even begins. At Great Market, you’ll find it all under one roof, with a distinct Mediterranean flair.
A Grill Lover’s Paradise
Chicken, beef, lamb, keftas, merguez, skewers, or pre-marinated cuts… Great Market’s butcher shop is a veritable treasure trove for barbecue lovers. The halal meats and poultry are carefully selected. They’re also prepared in-house to guarantee freshness and quality. Even when it seems like all of Brussels has had the same idea to fire up the grill, regular restocking keeps the counters well-stocked. That means you can invite a few more friends over without breaking the bank. The cherry on top? The shop is also open on Sundays, perfect for last-minute cravings.
Much more than just meat
A successful barbecue is never limited to what’s sizzling over the flames. The deli counter is overflowing with mezze, hummus, muhammara, grape leaves, falafels, fresh salads, and other ready-to-eat Mediterranean specialties. Add some vegetables to grill, artisanal breads baked on-site, Syrian flatbreads, fragrant spices, olives, cold drinks, and a few Middle Eastern pastries to top it all off. You can put together your entire meal in a single visit.
A gourmet stopover in the Mediterranean
Founded in 2019 by sisters Acadia and Grace Kriakos, Great Market now spans over 2,200 m². It brings together a butcher shop, deli, bakery, pastry shop, gourmet food store, and produce section all under one roof. The store showcases Syrian, Lebanese, Italian, Spanish, and Belgian flavors in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re planning an XXL barbecue, a get-together with neighbors, or simply an impromptu picnic… It’s the kind of place where you always leave with more culinary ideas than you expected…and an irresistible urge to fire up the grill!
