Address: Rue des Bouchers 13, Brussels B-1000
Generally speaking, Rue de Boucher's endless row of ultra-touristy and largely identical fish and seafood restaurants are best avoided by anyone who wants good food and doesn't want to pay over the odds. This is one shining light in the crowd, where the mussels are designed to please both the palate and the wallet, which it makes it worth running...

Renowned restaurant stylist Antoine Pinto has blended ancient and modern here to create an elegant fusion of modern furnishings and 19th-century glitz. The grandly arched stained glass ceiling supported on marble columns creates a breathtaking dining space. The food is tasty modern Flemish-French. Try not to let the sometimes condescending...

Bright, modern, stylish and trendy, this popular Ixelles basserie-restaurant attracts a young, chic crowd. Serves great mussels (choice of 7 different ways), plus a regularly changing list of Franco-Belgian mains, which you'll find chalked onto the large blackboard menus adorning the walls.

Address: Rue des Alexiens 73, Brussels B-1000
Elegant and stylish restaurant decorated only in shades of white and striking ultramarine. The candle-lit tables and bare brick walls serve to heighten the romantic and charming atmosphere.

Address: Rue Henri Maus 19, Brussels
This spot has been a citywide favorite since it opened in the early 1900s. The dramatic Art Nouveau decor – including stained-glass scenes depicting Shakespeare's famous character, Falstaff – remains virtually unchanged. Drop in for a lunch of piping-hot French onion soup, a crispy croque monsieur, a slice of vegetarian quiche, or a fresh omelet....

In a neighborhood (Ste Catherine) renowned for great fish restaurants, La Marée stands out among the best. The décor is simple and down-to-earth bistro, and the food too remains unfussy, allowing the flavours to speak for themselves. If you can't find any seafood to delight, there are several steak alternatives, but vegetarians may have a harder...

Address: Rue des Chapeliers, 26, Brussels B-1000
Classic Brussels brasserie with decor stepping straight out of the Belle Epoque. The elegant yet casual setting provides the perfect foil for a range of hearty Belgian classics including everything from mussels to carbonnade and rabbit. The central location and the fact it serves food non-stop all day make it a popular hang-out.

Address: Rue de Florence 26, Brussels B-1050
Popular with a local crowd, this bright little restaurant does steak and fish mains, plus Belgian classics including waterzooi. Those in the know say it serves the best moules-frites in the city, but its location out of the center keeps the prices down. The decor is kitsch Brussels, including a full-size Mannekin Pis replica on the wall.

Address: Quai aux Briques 8, Brussels B-1000
Cozy long-established and popular fish restaurant, Les Crustacés offers better value for money than many of the similar establishments in the Ste Catherine district, but without sacrificing quality. The mussels here (served in a choice of 7 different ways) are particularly good, and the wine list also excellent.

Address: Quai aux Briques 12, Brussels B-1000
The bizarrely named Rugbyman No. Two (yes, there is a number one – it's a few doors away) subtitles itself the "House of Lobster". That particular speciality, for which it is justly renowned, will set you back an eye-watering €55 a pop. Great if someone else is paying, but if not, there are plenty of other equally delicious fish and meat...
