Le Patio

Tucked away in the vibrant Place Eugène Flagey, Le Patio beckons. This isn’t just any restaurant. Le Patio is a beloved Brussels institution. It sits across from the magnificent Flagey building, once a radio and television broadcasting center. Le Patio offers a taste of classic French cuisine, but with a distinctly Belgian twist. The restaurant has been a local favorite for two decades. It was originally opened by Caroline’s parents under the name “Le Patio d’Eté”. Today, it’s run by Célio and Caroline Dachy. Célio, the chef, is passionate about fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients. His wife Caroline manages the front of the house. Their family-run establishment exudes a warm, Brussels welcome. Le Patio offers both classic bistro fare and creative market-driven dishes. You might find traditional steak frites alongside Célio’s innovative scampi with piperade. Or perhaps a St. Pierre with herb sauce and purple potato chips. Don’t miss their homemade meatloaf with stoemp, a true Brussels specialty. Le Patio offers a delightful dining experience. The delicious food, the friendly service, and the lively Flagey atmosphere combine for a truly memorable meal. Be sure to reserve a table, especially if you’d like to enjoy the coveted outdoor seating.
