The story
Chez Luma is a bistro at Rue de la Fauvette 17 in Uccle, Brussels, and Gault&Millau awarded it 12.5 in 2026. Two childhood friends took over the space in fall 2022, renamed it from a mix of their names, and run the bistro kitchen as a two-person team.
Marius Junot, a former mixologist at Chez Ta Mère in Ixelles, and Luka Greiner, who has cooked in Paris at Dersou and in London, share the work. The menu relies on local, seasonal produce, and the team aims to waste as little as possible.
On one visit, a bluefin tuna tartare arrived under a snowfall of citrus granita. Clams and mussels came in a marinière sauce with charcuterie and dill. The slow-cooked pork loin is shredded like pulled pork and served with sautéed potatoes, pork drippings and a cabbage and arugula salad. Dessert was an almond crumble with tapioca and citrus jelly.

History
In fall 2022, Damien Bouchery handed over the keys to Fauvette to two childhood friends from Montreuil (93), Marius Junot, a former mixologist at Chez Ta Mère in Ixelles, and Luka Greiner, who’s worked in kitchens in Paris (Dersou) and London. Renamed Chez Luma (a mix of their two names) and given a serious remodel, this bistro gets straight to the point – good food, good wines, warming guests up heart and soul. Take the night we went, seated among 20 other lucky guests, around vintage tables in the dimly lit space: a dashing bluefin tuna tartare under a snowfall of citrus granita, or clams and mussels bathed in a marinière sauce pimped with charcuterie and dill; bistro-style slow-cooked pork loin, shredded like pulled pork and served with sautéed potatoes, pork drippings and a cabbage-arugula salad; then a lovely little almond crumble with tapioca and citrus jelly for dessert. All that prepared as a two-person team: what more could you want? // Ringo de Balmalon
