A genuine Greek, despite its [name], tucked away from the city’s hustle and bustle on Place de Bethléem in Saint-Gilles. It comes with the best recommendation that can be bestowed on any restaurant – the locals eat there. It’s a simple menu, but the fresh Greek salads are superb, the frites are fabulous and very tasty and tender spare ribs feature as the house speciality. The service, as you usually find in Greek restaurants, is ultra-friendly too.

Como Como is fun, hip and serves tasty and inexpensive Basque tapas known as pintxos. The concept is cool and enjoyed by everyone from families to thirtysomethings. Seated on stools, diners watch plates go round on a conveyer belt, they pick what takes their fancy – from stuffed peppers to Argentine beef to frogs’ legs or churros and chocolate – and pay later for the number of plates. The Spanish multi-lingual staff are a joy and often organise wine-tasting evenings.

Couleurs et Saveurs has introduced Brussels to the tastes of the Creole islands in all their glory – smoked and dried fish served with exotic fruits, with delicate sorbets offered between courses to refresh the palate after the spicy curries and sweet and sour sauces. The decor is deliciously tropical too – bamboo wall hangings, luscious plants and a garden for summer.
