Fox

boulevard du souverain 25,
1170 Boitsfort
website
everyday from 12 to 11:30pm
13 food stands
dishes from 6€

 

We tried the Fox – the brand new food market in the no-less brand new Mix building, and it had been a while since we were this excited by a food court.

Walking through the alleys, all our senses are alert. We spot the menus, the plates, evening the beeping lights from the other customers’ buzzers have caught our attention. Everything looks delicious. We’re only two, so we decide to go for four different food stands, even if it might be a tad too much. We don’t really have a choice though, we want to try as much as we can. Tacos first. Real corn-based tortillas like the ones they serve in Roca are quite rare in Brussels, so we order three (14,90€ for 3). We then head for Coast, with a large choice of seafood and fish, and go for the lobster roll (15€), though we’re super tempted by the coconut, candied lemon and curry clams (12€). We then stop by Roru rolls, the new concept by Umamido, and pick up some shiitake and yellow radish rolls. Simple yet delicious. It was impossible to miss out on Sababa too, a middle eastern concept with daily made challah bread. We had the beef meatballs and the cauliflower with white butter and almonds.

For days we passed the huge sticker on the window trying to imagine the place hiding behind it, for weeks we’d heard about Bisou opening soon, and couldn’t wait to see it for real. The time has come. Bisou has opened its doors, launched by talented Chloé Sengier – Coco Donuts & Crème – who’s already proven multiple times what she was capable of.

ciders by the glass: 4,90€ – 5,40€

The lighting is dim, a large stone bar runs through the room, and birch stools adorn the walls and counter. Everything is beautiful at Badi, but what we particularly love are the hundreds of cider bottles with vibrant and colorful labels that fill the shelves.

On the menu, Breton pancakes crafted seasonally (€9), Cancale oysters No. 3 (€6), seaweed tartare (€5), and clams stuffed with parsley butter and garlic (€15). We’re excited to have arrived by the seaside.

Bombay BBQ

chaussée d’ixelles 280,
1050 Ixelles
bookings
from wednesday to sunday
from 6pm to 10pm
to share : 8€ – 15,50€
menu for 2 pers : 70€

We opened our eyes wide as we stepped into Bombay BQQ for the first time. With the scaffolding that’s been around the building for weeks, we simply had no idea of what was going on in the inside. And we remained speechless.

Bombay BBQ is Tim and Pavan’s third Indian restaurant, and we can clearly tell they very well know what they’re doing. But even though it’s the third, it is no less a unique restaurant with its very own identity, not unlike every piece of furniture and decoration – quite unique too to the say the least – that now fill the space.
