Philema

Very solid, professional and organized service. Kind staff and great food, refining Cretan cuisine while still keeping it true to the original - from the appetizers, the dakos (ντάκος) was full of flavourful ingredients and beautifully presented, as with every course. In terms of main courses, the bifteki (μπιφτέκι) is a notable highlight. On our way out, the staff offered us delicious masticha liqueur. Will definitely revisit to try out other dishes!

Amazingly delicious food, good ambiance to catch up with friends over lunch/dinner. Very good portions. And most importantly very friendly service

This is truly a wonderful authentic Greek/Cretan restaurant. But far the best food , atmosphere and service. It’s no wonder it’s in the Michelin guide!. You can’t go wrong with what ever you order. The chef Manos is truly talented! I highly recommend it to all!

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.

Great as always! Super good food with many options for meat eaters but also vegetarian and even vegan (nistisima). No problem to find options for children (teens).

The food is good, but what makes Philema truly special is their hospitality. Thanks to Nikos and his team, we had a great night out enjoying some Cretan delicacies. Well done.

Great experience as always, very knowledgeable and super friendly staff. Food is simple wonderful and delicious. The cookies we got with coffee were lovely! If they would sell them, I'd buy a huge pack.😋😋😋

We had a great dinner with pleasant ambience. Very friendly service.

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!
