The story
Amen is a bistronomic restaurant at Rue Franz Merjay 165 in Ixelles, Brussels, and Gault&Millau awarded it 14 points in 2026. The menu leans toward shared plates, with Mediterranean accents running through seasonal cooking.
Executive chef Hadrien Franchoo works from a concept developed with Pascal Devalkeneer. The kitchen revisits traditional flavours in a modern way, and the team selects each product for quality and seasonality. The wine list focuses on biodynamic producers.
The dining room is sober and design-led, built for sharing and conversation. The Saturday lunch roast chicken is presented as a family dish: organic free-range bird with jus, tomato salad with herbs, apple vinegar dressing, and house fries with mayonnaise. In the spring-summer version it is priced at 29.50 euros per person. Michelin lists Amen as Recommended for 2026.
