Pont-Neuf

Pont-Neuf is a one-Michelin-star seafood restaurant that takes both fish cookery and portion honesty seriously. The Gault & Millau score of 15 places it among Belgium's most respected tables. Service is paced and attentive without hovering, and the kitchen works with what's fresh at the market rather than playing costume drama. The room itself is understated, which means diners who come here want to taste, not be seen. Book ahead—it's small and local knowledge runs deep. Fair warning: if you're unsure about shellfish or prefer meat, this isn't the place to hedge.
