If you prefer your date night to have a buzzing energy, head to Chambar. The room itself features beautiful light fixtures, earthy wood details and touches of leather that make for a vibrant and inviting room. The restaurant is lively, but you can still enjoy the conversation at your table.
Chambar's Belgian menu is the creation of Michelin-trained Chef Nico Schuermans. While at Chambar, you have to make sure that an order of the mussels and frites makes their way to your table. The lamb tagine is another favorite dish, featuring a lamb shank that's braised with honey, figs, cinnamon and cilantro, served with cous cous and zalouk. Desserts are made in-house so make sure to save a little room.
These guys are also known for their awesome beer list, inventive cocktails, and juicy wine options.
