History on a plate – Maison Vincent (Brussels)

Maison Vincent

Rue des Dominicains 8, 1000 Brussels

Step into a world where heritage, theatre, and gastronomy collide. Tucked in the historic heart of Brussels, Maison Vincent is more than a restaurant – it’s a living monument to the city’s culinary soul. With Art Deco elegance and a menu rooted in Brussels tradition, this is a dining experience that feeds both body and spirit.

The setting

Housed in a 1905 Art Deco building, the dining room is a visual masterpiece. Mosaics shimmer on the walls, frescos glow under the light, and every corner exudes charm. It’s no surprise UNESCO recognised this space – it’s as much museum as it is restaurant. Legends like Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour once dined here, and their presence still lingers in the air.

The taste

Maison Vincent champions the classics – robust Brussels meat dishes crafted with flair and know-how. Sauces are made tableside, turning each dish into a performance. Every bite feels timeless: honest, handmade, and deeply satisfying. This is Belgian cuisine done with pride.

The experience

Service here is warm, theatrical, and filled with anecdotes. Monsieur Adelin, the charismatic maître d’, brings the room to life with stories of famous guests and behind-the-scenes moments. You don’t just eat at Maison Vincent – you become part of its story.
