As an expert on seafood, she also recommends Le Zinneke for mussels in Brussels.

Here are Bertrand's recommendations:
 

RESTAURANT ROUGE TOMATE
190 Avenue Louise
1050 Bruxelles (IXELLES)
www.rougetomate.com

Good cuisine, nice place, nice terrace when it’s sunny (!)

Highly recommended

A bit expensive, but it is worth it!

For the first and/or special date.

MILLESIME

rue Eugène Cattoir 5

1050 BRUXELLES (IXELLES)

http://www.restaurantmillesime.be/

Very good restaurant; the menu is not big but very fresh food.

For the second date!

The two following restaurants belong to the same family, a Belgian culinary dynasty.

High level quality.

Expensive but ordering just one course is OK.

LA MARIE-JOSEPH

Quai au Bois à Brûler 47- 49

1000 BRUXELLES

http://lamariejoseph.niels1926.be/

For fish: (there is nice fresh fish and chips – take a look at the deserts).

CANTERBURY

Avenue de l'Hippodrome 2

1050 BRUXELLES (IXELLES)

Specialty: poultry

Huge terrace under chesnut trees in front of etangs d’Ixelles.

Go and have lunch on a sunny day in the summer.

Nice Brasserie menu, very fresh food.  (Belgian bourgeoisie atmosphere!)

No website!

LA QUINCAILLERIE

Rue du Page 45

1050 BRUXELLES ( IXELLES )

http://www.quincaillerie.be/

Same owner as Le Belga's.

A place to see with a nice brasserie menu; a bit expensive.

Simple restaurants, brasseries:

VOLLE GAS

Place Fernand Cocq 21 

1050 BRUXELLES ( IXELLES )

http://www.restaurant-volle-gas-bruxelles.be/

Good Belgian family culinary.

Recommended!!

LE SCHIEVELAVABO

There are several good restaurants at place Jourdan!

I know the one behind Theatre St Michel and I recommend it:

Woluwe-Montgomery

Rue du Collège Saint Michel, 52

1150 Woluwé Saint Pierre

http://www.leschievelavabo.be/

Student and family restaurant, not a lot of space, small tables, good and not expensive.

Terrace for summer.

L'ESPRIT DE SEL BRASSERIE

Place jourdan 52-54

1040 BRUXELLES ( ETTERBEEK )

http://www.espritdesel.be/

Good brasserie restaurant .

Good fondues

Given that winter is coming, here are two places I know:

L'R DU TEMPS

Avenue Hansen-Soulielaan 78

1040 BRUXELLES ( ETTERBEEK )

http://www.rodel.be/

Traiteur, as well; they can deliver food (cheap and OK; they can also deliver newspapers and cigarettes!)

Swiss specialties, mainly cheese fondues

A bit strange, wooden atmosphere like a Swiss chalet.

Can deliver food.

Lend plate for take away fondues.

MET JEANINNE

Avenue d'Auderghem 152

1040 BRUXELLES ( ETTERBEEK )

http://www.metjeaninne.be/

Meat specialities.

Meat fondues.

Here are John's recommendations:

Here you can access the website of In't Spinnekopke.

Here you can find some information about 9 et Voisins, and here you can find information about Le Fin de Siecle, which have very good price-quality ratios and are owned by the same person with almost identical menus.

Here you can have access to the website of Francois for those of you who like seafood.  They also have a store right next door.  This was also recommended by Suzanne.
