Vibe: Tucked in one of Brussels’ wealthiest neighborhoods, the restaurant has upscale decor and plating. The cold spinach appetizer came in a gorgeous bowl that resembled a flower. When it’s warm, there’s outside seating, but bring layers for inside, as the door is often left open.
Who’s picking up the check? Main dishes will set you back €18 to €20, while smaller plates to start are around €10. It’s a good spot for a date or to impress visitors. A bonus is a Tsingtao — a mainstay Chinese lager — goes for just €5.
Spotted: It’s a well-known eatery among Brussels’ prominent China watchers, including, we hear, POLITICO’s own Regional Director Jamil Anderlini.
Insider tip: Forget your own main — order dishes for the table and share so you can try all the delicious offerings on the menu.
Fun fact: Your author spent five years living in Beijing and can attest that the dishes match those found on the Chinese mainland, albeit with a slightly different flavor profile. The restaurant also has a Bib Gourmand rating from the Michelin Guide.
How to get there: Step off the tram or bus at Abbaye de la Cambre and walk ten minutes down Rue d’le Abbaye.
