"Exceptional ingredients from committed suppliers, staff well-being and the belief that our actions impact the lives of our peers: such are some of the topics that are regularly discussed by Grégoire Gillard and his team. In their suitably untreated, trendy street corner establishment, near the fish market, they conjure up their vision of sustainable gastronomy. The surprise menu shines the limelight on the excellent produce of Brussels and its region, with an underlying commitment to respecting the seasons, however short. Nature is what inspires chef Gillard’s creativity, although he isn’t averse to the odd exotic twist. For example, he may thinly slice oysters, then coat them in finely chopped crunchy celeriac, grated iced goat’s cheese and a stunning sorbet of wasabi and East Indian cherry, in a whirlwind of flavours and nuances. Rather than showy demonstrations, he wins us over with insightful, intense combinations in which each ingredient has a role to play and is designed to interact with the others to create fascinating dishes from the first to the last bite. The enticing wine and non-alcoholic beverage list is perfectly in tune with the establishment’s philosophy. Each decision is taken after weighing the impact on the community and the individual, without forgetting an overriding quest for taste. We take our hats off!" - Michelin Inspector

An Amazing experience, delicious food, and very welcoming service! They addressed gluten-free restrictions without any loss of taste/flavour.

We had an incredible experience at this restaurant - one of the best we have visited in Brussels. The dishes were both creative and delicious, but the highlight was the wine pairing. It elevated the meal to another level, and we really enjoyed it. The service was also great, making the entire experience even more memorable.

An absolutely amazing dining experience!! We booked a surprise menu and every dish we tasted was incredible. The flavors and textures were beautiful. It was the best meal of our entire trip and we are so happy we went. Would recommend pairing wine with each course, we really enjoyed that! The staff gave detailed explanations of each dish with a smile, they were so lovely. I would give more stars if google allowed it!!!

We took the Menu Degustation Course. All dishes were tasty and flavorful. The main ingredient of each dish was very fresh and well cooked. The most favorite dish for me and my partner are the same which is the pork. It was very crunchy and soft and juicy at the same time. We love that the remaining sauces were always left on our table in case you want more of them. Another thing that I love was that they offer half portion wine pairing which for me the right amount for the pairing of 8 glasses. The staffs were well trained. The ambient and atmosphere were casual and pretty lively. However, the restaurant is not that large & for us the table arrangement is quite packed.

Honestly, one of the best meals I have ever had. The langoustine ceviche topped with tomato sorbet that was infused with Tabasco was life changing. I hate tomatoes! I didn't think to take pictures of the entire meal but this place was really impressive. These pics were mid-meal and after the devastation. Sorry for the poor pics.

Ordered the six course tasting menu with the non alcoholic pairing. The food was excellent, I was especially fond of the sea bream and steak. Both very much cooked to perfection, and the non alcoholic pairings made things fun and elevated the taste further. I won't write too much here as I feel this is a restaurant best visited to be surprised at. I do need to highlight that, perhaps as a testament to Barge's commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients, a flower served with one of our starters had an insect on it. At a Michelin star restaurant or one with this level of commitment, this shouldn't happen. We were provided an alternate dish as an apology, which is appreciated, however for the price and for the caliber it was disappointing.

Well this is nice. This is good. After many tries I could finally get a table here- celebrating my ex landlord having sold the flat I lived in 2019-2022 in this neighbourhood. A very good 6 course menu. Started very well with appetisers and a ceviche like plate. Delicious! It continued well until the lobster 🦞 which had a complicated overworked taste - combined with a Sicilian wine that I will never drink again. But then came the lamb and heaven was here again. So I will return and give Barge a second chance - it was almost perfect

This was an amazing dining experience! I cannot say enough good things about the food, service and ambiance. The staff was professional, friendly, and not overbearing. We opted not to get the wine pairing since we were concerned about drinking too much. From beginning to end, it was a feast for the eyes and taste buds. I highly recommend if you are looking for a night that is memorable for food and the dining experience.
