Philema

Fantastic Greek (Cretan) restaurant in the Châtelain area. Service is excellent and makes you feel right at home. Delicious food and huge selection of Greek wines. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent experience at Philema. The food was really amazing (porc steak and sea bream) and the service was first-class! I wholeheartedly recommend for a lovely and intimate experience.

The food is delicious! And the staff is so friendly and humorous! Thank you for providing a great dining experience!

Great food and great hospitality. Friendliness of the staff elevates your dining experience. We had the goat dish with bulgur, octopus carpaccio, pita with cheese & spinach, fried egg salad and grilled chicken with potato. Mr Apostolis offered us some uzo before we left which was also very delicious. Will definitely visit again not only for the food but for the cosy atmosphere.

I came here with a Greek friend who vouched that this is the best Greek food outside of Greece he had every had. The place is a cozy restaurant with very friendly staff which definitely elevated the overall experience. The food is delicious and the portions are extremely generous. Turns out the main ingredients are imported directly from Greece and they offer a lot of traditional meals that you can only find on the island of Crete. I would surely go back for their grilled cheese with marmalade, and their slow cooked lamb. Overall, the restaurant is well recommended! I can't wait to come back

Very welcoming friendly service & food is just so creative and delicious. Thank you!

Great food & excellent friendly and knowledgeable service!! Several vegetarian options available and mine were great. Not cheap, but worth it for a nice dinner out.

A welcoming place and delicious starters (beet salad with grilled cheese and trio of dips (eggplant/cucumber/tarama), served with a complimentary tasting portion of lovely sparkling Greek wine. The daily specials for the main courses were also very good (slowed cooked beef + grilled filet of fish).

The positive comments does do it justice! I rarely leave a review but in this case I had to. Philema is now on the top of my list of the 3 good Greek restaurants in Brussels. And one of the best ones overall. Service, food, drinks and even atmosphere were really great. We were 3 Greeks out of four at the table and the appetizers, including known tzatziki and tarama were delicious. The main dishes, including a Greek risotto with goat meet, lamb with veggie spaghetti and bifteki were very tasty. Topping that with a baklava was just perfect. It's simple Greek (mostly Cretan) food revisited and served in good portions! A must in Brussels! One last tip: the Rakomelo (warm raki with honey, cloves and cinnamon) was delightful and actually took us through the entire meal!

A very nice Greek restaurant. Friendly staff, the owner came up afterwards and asked how we liked the food and wine. The aubergine was very good, also the feta-cheese. Recommended!

Flawless dining experience! We had the pleasure of eating here twice during our last trip to Brussels, and were super impressed both times. Very lovingly done food, extremely delicious and fresh, and a very welcoming atmosphere. DO NOT skip the homemade desserts!!! :-P

Nice place, good food and a welcome change from the typical greek restaurant! Would recommend the stuffed vine leaves and the spetzofai (spiced sausages with bell peppers in a tomato sauce). Prices are ok (not expensive, not terribly cheap either), house wine is quite affordable and good. Service is the greek way meaning no chichi but who cares... To recommend!
