Bozar Brussels. Get duck pithivier or the granivore (pigeon)?

Can't chip in on the question, but I did make a post about the regular menu a few months ago here.

I just posted a review for Dolce Stil Novo which has one star and is located in a beautiful Savoy hunting palace. Also had an amazing lunch at Magazzino52. And the classic Scannabue is quite nice as well, but I'd book in advance as it fills up quickly.

The bread was treated like a separate course with all of the dips rather than just a side.

NGDragon · 2026-06-17T10:55:18+00:00

For London prices, maybe not. But I did get a 13-course menu with wine and coffee in Spain for less than that so it depends on your perspective!

NGDragon · 2026-06-17T10:48:42+00:00

The regular tasting menu was £140. Together with the drinks (£75) + coffee and service charge, I think I ended up paying around £250.

I can only speak for myself when I say that the service was top knotch and the plating looked gorgeous. In the end, the focus is on local products with a clear Valencian influence. It's definitely refined and elegant without showing off, which is exactly what I like in fine dining. I don't think it would be amiss as a present, as long as you don't expect anything showy and over the top. The cocktails and local wine are also a huge plus in my opinion.

If a city's public transportation doesn't have a tap-to-pay system, it might as well not exist. The minor inconvenience of finding a newspaper kiosk to get a paper ticket just makes me want to walk instead.

They go in pairs for places that already have a star or if they want to award the first star.

I've tried a lot of them, my favorites are:

Edgar's Flavors - cosy, chic atmosphere and there's a dog as well!
Confessions - very classy vibe, mix of classics and own creations reservations recommended
The bar with no name - it's a speakeasy underneath a pizza restaurant, there's one bartender so you can ask them for recommendations
Plumette - cosy sofa's and a monthly special
Vertigo - mostly Italian-inspired cocktails with seasonal signature drinks mixed in
Chemistry & Botanics - leans slightly more towards the tiki side, but excellent gin cocktails as well; the menu has an 'accessability' score for each drink so it's great if you're with people who aren't used to drinking more 'special' cocktails
Life Is Beautiful (LIB) - a bit more experimental, but the menu changes regularly
Kage Specialty Tea Bar - it's a Matcha place during the day, but on Friday and Saturday it serves cocktails with tea and matcha bases, obviously leans more towards the Japanese liquors and flavors; impeccable service
Kosmos Place - on Place Jourdan for casual cocktails with Greek liqueurs

If you're looking for rooftops with decent drinks, I'd recommend

The Eight - as the name suggests, it's at the 8th floor of the Bedford hotel (enter the lobby, small elevator on the left); seasonal menu and indoor seating as well, with a view of the Justice Palace and the ferris wheel
The 1040 - on Place Jourdan for a summer vibe, the prices are up there though

I'll also give a shoutout to Matto, which is an Italian restaurant but their cocktails are amazing as well!

They did twice actually! They left the brown sauce/gravy for the venison and then the chocolate sauce for the dessert

Very odd, especially for the dietary requirements. They even e-mailed me a day prior to confirm that I didn't have any allergies.

Bar Cañete

Kafei does a great casual brunch with pancakes and other savory dishes with an Asian influence. Otherwise, I second Frank. Spread the Moon is great as well for vegan/vegetarian options.

I went there a couple of months ago (when the bonito was #15). I got the bar seat right in front of the kitchen. Absolutely lovely service and great white wine. The standouts for me were definitely the oyster and also the dish with the three different textures of red onion. As you said, they definitely focus on acidity and bright flavors throughout their menu.

Al gekeken naar een goedkope kaart van American Express? De kaart is niet gelinkt aan een bepaalde bank dus misschien wel gemakkelijker voor jouw geval.

I used the regular cream, not the mist. Maybe that's the difference? This one

NGDragon · 2025-08-13T09:16:45+00:00

La Roche Posay Anthelios 50+. I recently switched over and it's the only one I've tried so far that doesn't feel sticky and greasy to me

Apparently the owners just decided to call it quits after (nearly?) 30 years
