Les Brassins
Brussels, Belgium
The read// why locals go
Les Brassins is a Brussels estaminet on Rue Keyenveld in Ixelles, pairing traditional Belgian tavern cooking with a list of local craft beers. An estaminet is the old Brussels neighbourhood tavern, and the house leans into that: no dress code, a mixed local crowd and Belgian classics served in a deliberately convivial room. The beer side is treated as seriously as the plates, with artisanal Belgian brewers on the list. Vegetarian and lactose-free dishes are marked on the menu, there is outdoor seating for warm evenings, and the place is set up for families, dogs and wheelchair users alike. An independent address with a local-favourite reputation, in a stretch of Ixelles that stays residential rather than touristic.
