If you are in Brussels and you want to enjoy a lovely time for lunch or dinner, one place will guarantee that, throwing in: quality service, tasty food that is not pretentious, nice wine, good value for money, a intimate and lovely decor and, most of all, excellent buzzing atmosphere.
This superb restaurant is called
"La Fin de Siecle" (The end of the century) and the special thing about it is that it has the gift of making you forget for one moment about the busy lives we all live and offer you a simple but exquisite trip into what the art of gastronomy is all about.
The cracking atmosphere will capture you since you walk in, the 2 waiters will sweep you off your feet with their kindness (they speak French, English, Italian etc. and if you need advice, don't hesitate to ask, they always provide good answers!) and the menu is not big, but you should be able to find something you like (we all like Italian food, don't we?).
Some of the best dishes from the chef are: a delightful
Osso Buco, caramelized scampi salad, aubergines
al forno (in the oven), Venetian veal liver and, of course, all the pasta dishes.
The restaurant is located quite close to the city centre, in the neighbourhood of Etterbeek (on Avenue de l'Armee no. 3, 2 minutes from Montgomery Square), and reservations are almost mandatory as the place is always full with its "fans”:
