Tired of routine? For a change from traditional restaurants, these places promise a real Brussels experience. Set up in an airplane, underwater, in a bookshop or perched in a tree house, here are five unusual restaurants to discover in Brussels!
Piola Libri
Located on Rue Franklin in the heart of Brussels, Piola Libri offers a very special concept: a 100% Italian bar-restaurant-bookshop! If you’re in the mood to get away from it all without leaving our beloved Brussels, this is the perfect place: you can eat well, drink good wine and, above all, the abundance of books on offer creates a peaceful atmosphere amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. We just love it.
📍 Address: Rue Franklin 66/68, 1000 Brussels
La cabane du fou chantant
Nestled in the trees, La cabane du fou chantant offers a unique experience in Brussels. In Uccle, this restaurant invites you to climb into the trees and enjoy your dinner, lovingly prepared by Maison Félix. The only drawback is that the tree house has a maximum capacity of 4 people. So we recommend it for intimate dinners for two!
📍 Address: Le Fou Chantant, Avenue De fré 176, 1180 Brussels
Le Flylounge
Le Flylounge offers a unique culinary experience in a wingless airplane, transformed into an ephemeral restaurant. Every Saturday evening, guests can enjoy gourmet meals accompanied by fine wines, with piloting options and cockpit tours for total immersion. The aircraft can also be privatized for special occasions such as birthdays and weddings. A must-try!
📍Address: Rue du Commerce 65, 1000 Brussels
Nemo 33
Nemo 33 is quite simply one of the deepest pools in the world. With a depth of 33 meters and a diving temperature of 33°C, divers can indulge their passion all year round. But that’s not all. If you don’t want to get wet, you can also stop off for a bite to eat! Watch the swimmers’ performances through the restaurant’s large picture windows, while enjoying a delicious Asian dish! A delightfully surprising experience.
📍 Address: Rue de Stalle 333, 1180 Uccle
Le Wasbar
Have you ever been to a restaurant to wash your dirty laundry? The concept may seem surprising, but that’s the promise of Le Wasbar: Brussels’ first resto-laverie. Start a machine and enjoy a good meal with friends! On the menu: bagels, salads, finger foods and desserts, each more appetizing than the last. Undoubtedly one of the most unusual restaurants in the country. Yum!
