When we heard that Barbara, the former sommelier from Barge, was opening her own wine bar, we couldn’t wait to check it out. And you should do the same.

Located in the heart of Schaerbeek, the place is warm and incredibly welcoming, reminiscent of the best neighborhood bars. Except here, the wine selection is impeccable, and the small plates are on another level. Since there were three of us, we indulged and ordered a variety from the menu: mimosa eggs with bottarga (€3.50), simple but always effective, black pudding croquettes with creamy apples, a sensation – we almost ordered a second plate -, delicious homemade ricotta with fennel (€9), Belgian ham sliced paper-thin (€12), incredible Opal Coast seaweed tartare (€9), dried for three days – apparently, that makes all the difference –, and delightful mini mushroom arancinis (€10) to finish.

Welcome to Crème. After Coco Donuts and just before Bisou, this brunch hotspot, signed by the serial entrepreneur Chloé Sengier, has just undergone a fresh makeover.

As part of this transformation: an interior completely redesigned by Zazie Maquet Studio (Volta, Bisou) featuring green velvet banquettes, lacquered burgundy tables, and a bespoke dessert counter. It’s cozy, warm, and incredibly welcoming, mirroring the vibe of the team and the menu, which includes all the essentials one could expect from a brunch, lunch, or coffee break of this caliber.

Tonight, I’m taking you to La Général, a Brussels bistro transformed into a Mexican taqueria.

Here, every detail has been carefully thought of, especially the decor, which has been curated piece by piece. We’re particularly in love with the large poster of sun-faded palm trees, the paintings of Mexican wrestlers, and the enormous bouquets of flowers—more real than real. It’s only Tuesday night, but the restaurant is packed, and the atmosphere is already buzzing.
