The story

Colonel Louise in Brussels: Modern French Meat Restaurant in Saint-Gilles

Colonel Louise is a modern French restaurant at rue Jean Stas 24 in Saint-Gilles, Brussels, where meat sits at the centre of the menu. Gault&Millau awarded it 13.5 points in 2026, and its reviewers singled out the charcuterie and aged meat.

Meat chosen by the house

The team selects its own meat, and the menu leans on aged cuts and Colonel Sélection, the house range of meat from chosen breeds. Guests can order from the carte or pick a piece at the butchery counter with advice from the staff.

Room and terrace

The dining room is minimalist, so the attention stays on the plate. Outdoor seating makes it easy to linger on a warm evening. Across the street, Colonel 大佐 [Taisa], the group's robatayaki bar, offers a quieter, more intimate room where Japanese-inspired dishes are cooked over flame.
