La Pierre Bleue

La Pierre Bleue is located in the heart of the extremely touristic Brussels city center, but it is thankfully not touristic at all. We might have been the only tourists there last Saturday night. All the dishes were very well executed, and I can definitely recommend the sea bass. In my opinion, what makes the restaurant truly lovely is the atmosphere and the service. The chef works in a tiny open kitchen and casually chats with the guests, which adds a personal touch. The service is genuinely friendly without ever crossing the line. I’ve been to other restaurants in the same price range (sometimes even cheaper), and they are often far too pretentious. Here, they’ve managed to create an atmosphere of elegance without imposing an overly serious profile. My only remark would be about the price of the croquette dish. It was delicious, but I find €18 for two croquettes a bit too much. Otherwise, I totally recommend a visit!
