The rich and luxurious L'Alban Chambon could well have been the Metropole's best kept secret, if only it weren't for the numerous awards heaped on it for its culinary excellence - 9/10 score by the famous Guide Henry Lemaire, top 10 restaurants in Brussels and two red hats. Named after the architect who designed the hotel in the late nineteenth century, this famed Brussels restaurant constantly strives to raise the bar for serving classic French cuisine with flair.

The impressive Italian Baroque styling of the dining room is a treat for the senses and creates a spell-binding ambience with the ornate parquet floor, the elaborate stained glass windows and the Venetian curtains that complete the final picture. Sparkling linen and glittering chandeliers are the other elements that lend such charm and grace to L'Alban Chambon.

Head chef Dominique Michou seeks to create classic French cuisine with a daring twist. Specialities include meat, fish, foie gras, lobster, shellfish and game. The wine list is suitably extensive and complements every aspect of your meal.

L'Alban Chambon with its plush Renaissance styling and interiors is an intimate setting, whether you wish to sit quietly and watch the world go by or even if you just want to lean back, relax and enjoy some good food.
