The Restaurant - The Hotel                                                               

One of the most easily recognizable buildings in Brussels is The Hotel. This 4 star hotel towers over Avenue Louise and is home to The Restaurant. Known for its superb and upscale cuisine, the brains behind the dishes are three world renowned specialists in French, Italian, and Thai cuisine. The menu is structured in a unique manner: first, there are nine basic ingredients each prepared in a French, Italian, and Thai style. For each ingredient, there is also a “classic” and a “creative” variation. So for example if you choose mushrooms, your Italian choices would be the “Italian Classic friend mushrooms with veal and herb ‘polpette’ ” or the “Italian Creative tagliolini with mushrooms, black truffle and veal kidneys in Madeira sauce.” Is your mouth watering yet?
