Le Trappiste
About
Le Trappiste is a storied Belgian brasserie in Ixelles, opening its doors in 1899 and continuing to serve the city’s favourite classics. Visitors are welcomed into a truly historic 19th‑century setting, where polished wooden panels, brass fixtures and vintage artwork set the stage for authentic Belgian cuisine. The menu is a balanced mix of hearty stews, fresh seafood, traditional moules‑frites and a range of cheeses, all paired with an extensive selection of local beers and other beverages. Whether you stop for a quick fish tikka at lunch or linger for a midnight drink, the brasserie offers a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere that feels like a comfortable home away from home.
