Chinese Restaurants in Brussels

Chinese food in Brussels isn’t just about takeout or the usual suspects near Place Jourdan. If you know where to look, you’ll find authentic spots with serious flavor. For instance, in the Saint-Gilles district, places like La Roue d’Or serve solid dim sum and some of the best hand-pulled noodles in the city. And it’s not all Cantonese,Brussels also has great Sichuan choices, especially around the European Quarter.

One thing I love is that many of these restaurants fly under the radar. Don’t be surprised if a modest exterior hides a kitchen delivering dishes with real umami punch. A little insider tip: some of the best places open mainly for dinner, so plan accordingly. Plus, weekdays are your friend. If you go on a Friday or Saturday night, it might get packed, and reservations can be tricky.

If you’re craving crispy Peking duck or a bowl of steaming hot hotpot, Brussels’ Chinese spots won’t disappoint. Just skip the tourist-heavy spots near Grand-Place and venture a bit out,your stomach will thank you.

A few local tips

If you’re craving authentic Chinese flavors in Brussels, skip the center and hit up Saint-Gilles or the European Quarter. La Roue d’Or is my favorite for a casual dim sum lunch, and it’s busiest on weekends, so arrive early or reserve. Also, many Chinese restaurants in Brussels keep odd hours,some might only open for dinner or even later. Don’t expect a 9-to-5 affair.

One thing locals do is combine a visit to a Chinese restaurant with a stroll around nearby neighborhoods. Try grabbing a hotpot then walk through Flagey or Ixelles. It’s a great way to enjoy the evening and avoid the tourist buzz downtown.
