Our favorite tea rooms in Brussels for a cozy and indulgent tea time

With a name like that, you won’t be surprised to see the prominence given to tea at La Maison du Thé in Brussels. Here, the different varieties of tea are beautifully displayed in bulk from floor to ceiling in gigantic red boxes! Established in 1897, it’s one of the first tea shops to sell tea in Belgium (and the oldest in Brussels)! In total, you’ll find no fewer than 200 varieties from around the world. We’re starting off strong with one of the best tea rooms on the list!

We recently raved about the merits of its delicious waffles, famous throughout the country. But Maison Dandoy isn’t limited to exquisite sweets. In the tea lounge area of its shop on Rue Charles Buls, you can treat yourself to a well-deserved break with some invigorating teas. Accompanied, of course, by a waffle: the star of the house!

KAGE is a modern destination for tea lovers! Here, experts offer high-quality Japanese and Chinese teas. In addition to classic tastings, they serve tea-based cocktails (Tea-tails) and host educational workshops on tea culture! The perfect hangout for chic tea enthusiasts.

And for good reason: Maison Renardy is a family-run business where everything is made in-house! With around a hundred varieties of tea from all corners of the globe combined with a century of expertise (Maison Renardy opened in 1912 and moved to Chaussée de Wavre in 2007!), it has built an unrivaled reputation among tea lovers. It’s a pleasure to sip a Nepalese green tea (the Guranse Emerald, a true delight), an Oolong des Légendes, or an Earl Grey Blue Flower on a rainy day to warm up.

Be warned: seating at L’Artisanal is very limited, and the shop isn’t very large, but the experience is definitely worth the detour! Their exceptionally well-stocked menu promises to keep you deliberating—and tempted—for quite some time, with a wide selection of green, black, and white teas, Rooibos, oolongs, Pu-erhs, and even fruity herbal teas (available for purchase)! Let yourself be tempted by Pu-erh, a Chinese tea unique in the world, whose flavor reaches its peak after decades of natural aging.

Cháshi is one of the finest recent discoveries for tea lovers in Brussels. Nestled in Ixelles, this intimate tea room invites you to slow down and enjoy a selection of rare teas from around the world, with a special focus on Chinese teas and high-quality matcha. In a minimalist and soothing setting, each infusion is prepared with care, while homemade pastries and tasting workshops round out this timeless escape. An ideal spot to learn about the art of tea… or simply treat yourself to a moment of calm.
