The best lebanese in Brussels. If in doubt, goes for a Meze. Don't be afraid to ask for advice. More

The food was good, the mezzi were just great! The only thing that was not up to the expectations was the wine: we ordered a bottle of red wine, they brought it fridge cold, and of a different year than the one we ordered. The place is very central, you should reserve because it is usually very crowded. You are... More

The set meze dishes were wonderful and complimented each other fantastically. Atmosphere was great and service good after an initial wait (10 mins) for the... More

Having lived in the Middle East for several years I can truly say that food at Al Barmaki is great. Service, however, is right the opposite.
