1. Boentje Café
$ | Schaerbeek |Just a brilliant café run by a pair of owners who really care about what they do. Their aim is to be zero-waste, whether that means repurposing used coffee grounds to grow mushrooms, composting everything that’s left over, or handing out reusable containers. The menu—all bowls, soups, and healthy weekend brunches—is organic, delicious, and wary of food intolerances. They also run a number of interesting workshops.
Pl. Colignon 18, Brussels, Brussels Capital, 1030, Belgium02-672--0837Known For
- Ethical, guilt-free lunching at its finest
- The all-day (until 2:30) breakfast menu is pretty tasty
- Great options for vegans and those with allergies
-
2. Gare Maritime
$$ | Laeken |The city isn't short of good street food markets, not since Wolf opened in the center, but out in Laeken, where the options are not nearly as interesting, this new addition was a godsend when it opened in the Tour & Taxis center in 2021. The choice here is a mix of slightly more upmarket and downright crowd-pleasing, ranging from the frites of "140" (the perfect temperature for cooking fries) to the Ayurvedic veggies of Xgreen. The space is huge and you're not short of options.
Rue Picard 7, Brussels, Brussels Capital, 1000, BelgiumKnown For
- Carne's Mauro Colagreco is a veteran of the three-Michelin-starred Mirazur in France
- Just Graze has a load of local cheeses to try
- Regular music nights

3. Leopold Café Presse
$ | Cinquantenaire |This cozy café is the epitome of Brussels decor: bicycles hang from the ceiling, there are Tintin statues everywhere, and shelves overflow with books. It's sculpted chaos and part of a chain of cafés that is slowly taking over the city. This was the first branch, and is still the best. The bagels and ready-made sandwiches are always tasty, plus it stays open until 8 every day, by which time it's filled with busy students.
Av. de Tervueren 107, Brussels, Brussels Capital, 1040, Belgium02-736--2298Known For
- It's just a lovely, warm, charming space
- The choice of cakes is particularly good
- Around the desk is a bookshop with plenty of guides (some in English) and comics
-
4. Hinterland
$ | |With its all-day brunch ricocheting between healthier options (acai and Buddha bowls) and more indulgent offerings, including a guacamole, bacon, and cheddar toast, this is a good spot to bag a late-morning or early-afternoon pick-me-up (until 3 weekdays; 3:30 on weekends).
Charleroise Steenweg 179, Saint-Gilles, Brussels Capital, 1060, Belgium02-537--9747Known For
- It's avocado paradise, with most things slathered in the green stuff
- There are good breakfast options
- There are gluten-free and vegan options

5. Knees to Chin
$ | Lower Town |Spring rolls are the specialty at this über-popular fast-food café beloved by local office workers, though the fillings are hardly traditional: meat loaf, crispy bacon and avocado, caramelized tofu. There are a few locations in the city now (the original opened in Saint-Gilles), but this is the perfect snack stop for shoppers on rue Antoine Dansaert.
Rue de Flandre 28, Brussels, Brussels Capital, 1000, Belgium02-503--1831Known For
- The coco-egg omelet wrap is heaven-sent
- Nice baos and rice bowls
- It's a nice cheap snack

6. Lettuce
$$ | |Salads packed with flavor, great hunks of quiches, and homemade lemonades are what keeps locals healthy at this popular lunch spot.
Tiensestraat 6, Leuven, Flanders, 3000, Belgium0468-310--600Known For
- There's a good selection of vegetarian options
- A seat at the window lets you watch the urban flow hustle past
- The salads mix together interesting combinations of veg, fruit, and meat

7. Maison Dandoy Galeries
$ | Lower Town |It's a little touristy, but worth it if you've got a sweet tooth. Set within the beautiful old Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, this rather distinguished tearoom is a fine spot to indulge in waffles and this famous old brand's speculoos cookies. It has another location on rue Charles Buls.
Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, Brussels, Brussels Capital, 1000, Belgium02-669--5212Known For
- Iconic Belgian speculoos treats and afternoon tea
- The shopping center is a beautiful spot to rest up
- Those waffles are worth the wait
-
8. Nona
$ | Cinquantenaire |This organic Neapolitan-style pizzeria has a couple of branches now: two (one pizzeria, one pasta joint) in St-Catherine and another opposite the eastern entrance to Cinquantenaire. In summer, it's not unusual to see locals queuing for a takeaway to sit and eat their wood-fired pizzas on the grass of the park, and it's not a bad option. But it's no hardship to sit inside, either, and the quality is always good.
Av. de Tervueren 5, Brussels, Brussels Capital, 1040, BelgiumKnown For
- Reliable local pizza that rarely disappoints
- A good selection of local craft beers
- The takeaway option is always tempting
-
9. Sowl
$ | Schuman |This popular spot among health-conscious office workers lets you fill your bowl with healthy veggies, grains, meats, and berries (or just take one of the standard blends). Everything is tasty, good for you, and the word "superfood" crops up endlessly.
Rue de la Loi 238, Brussels, Brussels Capital, 1040, Belgium02-792--5779Known For
- It's a good way to get a load of fresh inside you
- It's perfect for vegans and those with food allergies
- The breakfast bowls are good if you're on the go
-
10. Wild Lab
$$ | |Power food, in all its acai glory. Wild Lab is the kind of place you get chia jam on your chocolate-banana pancakes or can find a "Goodness Bowl" brimming with lentils, roasted parsnip, and za'atar. It's a great spot for brunch, and the juices and smoothies leave you glowing.
Rue Antoine Bréart 44a, Saint-Gilles, Brussels Capital, 1060, Belgium0492-540--062Known For
- Lots of vegan and gluten-free options
- Organic teas and fresh juices aplenty
- Where else can you get your "superfood latte"
