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.

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.
