Perpetuating Belgian cuisine since 1936.
Plattesteen, a popular brasserie in the heart of Brussels
Situated at the corner of rue du marché au charbon and rue du Plattesteen, this establishment is well-known to Brussels locals.
The brasserie-restaurant has retained its original warm wooden decor.
Since 1936, it has occupied the first floor of an art-deco apartment building designed by architect Noteris in 1931. The restaurant is also located behind the legendary Ancienne Belgique concert hall, now known as the AB.
Numerous artists have come to feast at Plattesteen. Aznavour, Annie Cordy, Jacques Brel, Edith Piaf, Claude François, Charles Trenet, David Bowie Bowie, Elvis Costello, Arno, Indochine and many more...
The Plattesteen terrace is one of the liveliest spots in Brussels' central Saint-Jacques district.
The Saint-Jacques district
This district has more than a thousand years of history and its history merges with the origins of the City of Brussels. The Hospice Saint-Jacques (14th century) welcomed pilgrims on their way to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle, the district took the name of the hospice. At the site of the former hospice, on Rue Marché au Charbon, is currently the Church of Bon Secours.
The Belgian brasserie is located in the heart of the emblematic Quartier Saint-Jacques
One of the Belgian capital's liveliest districts!
The Saint-Jacques district is home to the Manneken-Pis, the most famous ketje in Brussels. You will also find the statue of Madame Chapeau, who is a colourful character from Brussels folklore. And the statue of Grand Jacques (Jacques Brel) welcomes visitors to the Place Vieille Halle aux Blés. .
The Saint-Jacques district is a village in the heart of the city, mixing inhabitants, traders, craftsmen, artists, creators, students and visitors. It is also the meeting place of the LGBTQIA+ community.
You will not find stores belonging to large chains here but rather small, unique shops, in which you will often be welcomed by the manager.
