Find a restaurant from the Michelin Guide

Le Pilori is ideal for a meal with the mates. Founded in 1917, it started out as a café-restaurant, before morphing into a jazz club. Marc Leveau and Michel Van Cauwelaert bought it in 1993 and set about bringing it up to date, adding modern art and brightening up the interior. The chef intelligently adds a zest of modernity to produce whose quality is beyond compare. For example, noble ingredients like scallops or cod are served with the simplest of side dishes in a bid to keep the flavours strong and authentic. Examples include a juicy breast of guinea fowl with a crisp golden skin and a punchy white wine sauce. The main ingredient, generally meat, is underscored by side dishes such as morels, salsify, mash with lashings of butter and fermented red cabbage. This is wholesome Belgian fare at its best - oozing in authenticity, flavour and generosity. The final flourish is supplied by the sommelier, who can be relied upon to find just the right wine to pair with your meal from a cellar of predominantly French vintages. With friends or family, this is the place for feelgood food!
