Where to Eat in Dilbeek: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Dilbeek (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈdɪlbeːk]) is a municipality in the province of Flemish Brabant, in Flanders, one of the three regions of Belgium. The municipality comprises the villages of Dilbeek proper, Groot-Bijgaarden, Itterbeek (with Sint-Anna-Pede), Schepdaal (with Sint-Gertrudis-Pede), Sint-Martens-Bodegem, and Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle. Dilbeek is located just outside the Brussels-Capital Region, in the Pajottenland, hence the local name Poort van het Pajottenland (Gate to the Pajottenland). Even though Dilbeek is located in the Dutch language area of Belgium, there is a French-speaking minority represented by 4 members (5 in 2000) on the 33-seat local council. It is a mostly residential community with largely preserved rural areas and some industrial zones.

2 Michelin star restaurant** run by Chef Lionel Rigolet, his wife Laurence and their incredible team.
Reviewed By TangerineB - Burton upon Trent, United Kingdom
The food was very good. But not a patch in other restaurants I have eaten at with Michelin stars. Everything else was frankly a bit of a farce. We almost left as the waiter and the staff got increasingly confused over a dietary requirement they had checked twice in advance. They then told us that they don’t really bother to accommodate as some people say they are gluten-intolerant and then order pancakes. My friend has a religious dietary restriction. In the end, they did provide alternatives but it felt like too much effort. And then the bill was charged in Sterling when we requested to be charged in Euros. They acknowledged the bad service but did nothing about it. We won’t go back and won’t be recommending.

Had a business lunch here before attending a nearby football game. The lunch was served in the nice courtyard. Choice, quality and quantity of the food was great and prices very affordable. I will be back. Seems like an excellent place for a informal dinner with friends.

Service was very good , staff was professional and friendly . Food was also very tasty and even if we booked for a "resto days" which is a cheaper menu than usual , we didn't feel any difference in the service or food quality .
The food is about simple products where the taste and textures are genuine . No fancy dishes but the taste , quality and respect for products is here .

I booked this place for dinner on our wedding annivesary and was so looking forward to the experience given the great reviews. I noticed a number of couples walking into the restaurant asking for tables but they were turned away, which to me was impressive as most of the customer base seemed to be regulars. The staff were very helpful and had great knowledge of the menu. I asked about the beef/steak onglet and was asked how I would like it cooked? I replied 'medium' and then I was then informed that this would not be possible as the chef wouldn't allow this to happen and it had to be rare. This is the first time I have ever experienced this in any restaurant and I find it shocking as the paying customer, regardless of what the chef thinks or opinions on how something is cooked. I ended up with beef cheek and beetroot, the beef was lovely but there was far too much beetroot on the plate. To make matters worse, my wife had the pork chop and about half way through she noticed blood starting to seep out of the meat! Given the response to me wanting my steak being cooked how I would like it? The waiter was very polite and offered to change the pork but by this time we had seen enough, and we asked for the bill and left. There was no discount or refund offered for the undercooked pork, and as much as I find that dissapointing I really couldn't be bothered to argue this point on our anniversary. I was suprised by our experience as the place is lovely, the staff were knowledgable and the majority of the reviews looked fantastic.

So sad we only got to visit here on the final 40 mins before we are to depart.
The female waitress was so genuinely chirpy and happy to serve us.
And the bakes of Kouign Amann and Chox with caramel cream. So heavenly good and my husband ( rarely) agreed with me when we are on the Eurostar.

Absolutely the best pasta I’ve had- even in Italy! Patrizia is the chef and is a true gem!
Silvano takes care of every customer like family. Miriam, their daughter is superb. They are the sweetest Italian family! The waiters Joe and Nakita are so friendly and you feel like you are home. This is a must visit place when in Brussels! They are packed every night so make a reservation early! I recommend the squid ink pasta- my favorite bit you won’t be disappointed with anything as it’s all homemade with Amore!

I went here based on the reviews and was happy with a waffle with chocolate sauce on and my daughter enjoyed hers with banana slices on too. They are quite busy on a busy tourist street with lots of main shops on. Enjoy taking a breather from your shopping for a tasty treat!

Anderlecht is quite a journey from the center of Brussels but it is definitely worth a visit.You can see many beautiful Art Déco houses around Place Meir/Avenue du Roi-Soldat.
Before, or after the Art-Déco walk La Brouette is almost a must :-)
Always a very good lunch menu which does not take too much time, served with delicious wines. From start to end a very good experience, friendly service in a very nice atmosphere. Have been there three times and never disappointed. Last tiemit started with a very nice anchovis amuse, followed by an excellent Tatar of salmon, followed by " Fine escalopes de veau sur artichaut-grenaille, thym et citron saumure", a fantastic dessert with cooked prunes under a meringue au gratin. (see photos)
Don't miss Anderlecht and La Brouette on your next trip to Brussels....and do not forget to make a reservation!!
