Guidebook for Ixelles
Food Scene
This place started in 1993 and is still as great as ever! The place and its decoration is amazing and its subdued light makes it the perfect place for a date! The food is delicious and in the summer the terrace is really a plus. If you are a truffle amateur, try the Tartare de bœuf haché minute “piémontais” which is to die for.
