instagram
thursday to monday
from 5pm to 12am
small plates: 5€ – 15€
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.

I’m out of words, was more or less what I said when I was asked about my experience at Aster about two weeks ago. Nevertheless, I will do my best to tell you about this incredible experience.

Did the fact that I was there to celebrate amazing news, with a person I love or simply because it was Friday help the evening. Most probably. But was Aster itself the main reason the night was unforgettable? Definitely.

We already knew and loved Tomo’s cooking back when he was working at Sake Bar, and had followed him all the way to Copain, when he worked in their kitchen while waiting for his own to open. We were therefore super excited to finally discover his very own venue in his name a couple months ago; Yoka Tomo.
