A favourite of former European Commission Vice-President Neil Kinnock. The French and Mediterranean menu, with the emphasis firmly on fish, plus an excellent wine list, make this a pricey evening but one to enjoy. The grilled swordfish is sensational, while the ambience and service are sophisticated and warm. They make great Bloody Marys too, so it’s definitely worth the trip.

Considered by many to be Brussels’s top restaurant, Comme Chez Soi is run by Michelin-star winning chef Pierre Wynants and his son-in-law, fellow chef Lionel Rigolet. Other family members run the front-of-house, serving up French classics cooked from fresh produce and offered in surroundings redolent of art nouveau splendour. Specialities include fish and game as well as oysters and caviar. This restaurant usually has a long waiting list, so book well in advance – its reputation is fully deserved, but you’ll certainly pay for the pleasure.
