The story
Nesta is a Mediterranean restaurant in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Brussels, at Bergensesteenweg 500. Gault&Millau awarded it 14 points in 2026. Chef Kayes Ghourabi leads the kitchen while Griet Grassin hosts the dining room, and the Michelin Guide listed the restaurant as Recommended the same year.
Kayes Ghourabi cooks Mediterranean-inspired dishes, and the Gault&Millau jury highlighted a classic vitello tonnato. The menu changes every month around seasonal produce. Handmade fresh pasta sits alongside more inventive plates.
The lunch menu lists mackerel with cucumber, radish and dill, and salmon with courgette and lemon thyme. Piemontese chicken comes with broad beans and pommes dauphine, finished with a jus made with vin jaune. Rhubarb with vanilla biscuit and limoncello closes the list. A four-course dinner is priced at €72, and five courses at €88.
Guests describe the dining room as relaxed yet polished, with a garden and terrace for warmer days. The wine list leans toward Italian bottles, and pairings are available with both menus. Parking is on site, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible.
