Sustainable restaurants in Brussels

05 May 2026

Looking for a sustainable restaurant? 130 establishments in Brussels hold the “Good Food Resto” label. This label promotes restaurants that opt for produce that is local, seasonal and cultivated in an environmentally-friendly manner, offering alternatives to animal proteins and limiting food wastage. Some of them even have the Slow Food label, which recognises establishments that respect nature, produce and people. Discover our selection of sustainable and responsible restaurants.

Horia

Horia means “freedom” in Arabic and this is what Isabelle drew upon to open this restaurant with Moroccan and Lebanese cuisine in the Saint-Géry district: the freedom to offer traditional eastern cuisine in a multicultural neighbourhood, which can bring together different cultures, but also the freedom, as a woman, to decide to pursue her passions. At Horia, sample eastern culture and flavours through meatless or vegan dishes: hummus, aubergine caviar, etc.. The drinks are organic or fair trade and the beers come from local Brussels breweries. Authenticity, quality, ‘home-made’ and ‘ethical’ are some of the words that best describe Horia.

Super Fourchette

Super Fourchette is a restaurant, record shop and concert venue, right in the heart of the capital, between place De Brouckère and the Sainte-Catherine district. It offers comfort food that is home-made using produce from small producers and short supply chains. The establishment follows a zero-waste philosophy and gives you the option of taking away everything its sells you in its reusable bowls. As for the music, you will not be disappointed! Concerts are organised regularly and you can buy vinyl and cassettes from independent groups on site.

Bel Mundo

Bel Mundo, in the former Belvue brewery in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, is an initiative by Atelier Groot Eiland, a social economy association that trains job-seekers and collaborates with others in work adapted for people with disabilities. Its cuisine is based on local and seasonal produce but also unsold produce from the morning market and supermarkets. The fruit and vegetables are grown in the garden just behind the restaurant. The restaurant’s furniture is also sustainable, as it’s made from recycled palette wood. Bel Mundo aspires to build “a beautiful world” through its project.

Le Phare du Kanaal

Le Phare du Kanaal, a modern canteen, café, bar and coworking space in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, is managed by The Mug. This hybrid establishment provides you with office services and event rooms, while preparing home-made dishes and pastries with local and seasonal products. Chefs Sara and François share what they value with you: flavour and local and artisanal products. You can’t miss the restaurant, thanks to its facade covered with a magnificent mural depicting a ship on the high seas. Inside, the floor may be sloping but you will never feel like you are pitching. Welcome aboard!

Le Dillens

For an original meal and copious portions, head to Le Dillens, a cool bistro on a cosy square in the trendy part of Saint-Gilles. You can taste their love of their craft in the food. They serve food morning, noon and night. You're welcome all day to enjoy locally sourced cuisine from sustainable agriculture. Or for a nice, cool beer!

Mazette

Place du Jeu de Balle is a mecca for brunch in the capital. But you can also visit Mazette, a cooperative brewpub, at other times of the day. A brewpub? Yes, they brew their beer and bake their own bread on site. They also collaborate with the neighbourhood to decide how best to operate. It makes Mazette a very pleasant place where you can be sure of a local and sustainable meal.

Chaudron

There's nothing quite like a blissful autumn walk in the picturesque Neerpede district of the commune of Anderlecht. Here, on the edge of the Pajottenland, you can stroll through fields or jog around the ponds. As of recently, you can also visit the Ferme du Chaudron for fresh vegetables and dairy products, a petting zoo and a restaurant. The circular and solidarity-based farm is a concept by the Gastrosophes collective. Here you can eat a healthy and high-quality brunch (on Saturdays and Sundays), lunch (Tuesday to Friday) or dinner (Thursday to Saturday) in complete peace of mind.

BRUT

At Brut, they don't take the easy way. At this restaurant, they resolutely strive for gourmet cuisine, but they do so without turning their backs on their basic values. Here, they only use organic products from local producers, and they do so with a zero-waste approach. Even the setting is sustainable. As a result, at Brut you’ll dine ethically, simply and refined. The restaurant is close to place Flagey and the Ixelles ponds. If you'd rather have chef Alice visit you, you can. Just make sure your kitchen is clean and workable.

Charivari

Y a-t-il vraiment quelque chose à redire sur ce restaurant de quartier ultra-convivial ? Un chef de haut vol, une carte minimaliste, un intérieur soigné (avec comptoir) et un rapport qualité-prix imbattable. Ici, on fait des merveilles avec des produits ultra-frais et locaux, et chaque plat existe en version végétarienne. Réservation indispensable.

Rue de la Croix de Pierre 34, 1060 Saint-Gilles

Konchu

Konchu takes you on a culinary journey to the land of the rising sun. This Japanese-inspired eatery with a Belgian twist is housed in a beautiful Art Nouveau building in Ixelles. Be sure to try the Kare Raisu curry, Okonomiyaki pancake and other traditional sharing dishes. Everything is sustainably sourced, but you'll feel as though you've been transported half a world away!
