Henri is one of those places where everything just feels right. Located on the lively Rue de Flandre in the heart of Brussels, this restaurant blends refinement with warmth. There’s no stiffness here—just a relaxed, elegant atmosphere where both lovers of classic cuisine and curious foodies feel right at home.
The setting
The interior is stylish without being pretentious: sleek yet cosy, modern with a nod to tradition. Whether you’re enjoying dinner with friends, a romantic evening, or a quiet business lunch, Henri sets the tone. Service is professional, friendly and effortlessly attentive—just the way it should be.
The taste
The menu is divided into two themes: ‘classic’ and ‘creative’. The classics are timeless and expertly prepared, while the creative suggestions rotate every four weeks and often include subtle Spanish influences. Think sardines à la plancha with olives and orange, red gurnard ‘Niçoise’, or pluma de bellota with confit tomato and salsa verde. Every dish is carefully composed, seasonal, and full of respect for the product and its origins.
The experience
What makes Henri special is its balance between familiarity and surprise. You know you’re in for quality and care, but there’s always something unexpected. The wine list is extensive and well-curated, offering something for both connoisseurs and curious explorers.
The verdict: 4 out of 5 spoons (🍴🍴🍴🍴)
“A refined blend of tradition and creativity, served with flair and warmth.”
Atmosphere: Contemporary and relaxed
Dishes: Elegant classics and inventive specials

Let’s taste!
