The story
Samouraï is a Japanese restaurant at Avenue Louise 104 in Ixelles, Brussels, and Gault&Millau awarded it 14 points in 2026. The restaurant has served Japanese dishes since 1974 and moved to this Avenue Louise address to mark fifty years of cooking.
The house builds its menu on ancestral techniques and carefully selected ingredients, as the restaurant describes its own approach. Freshly prepared nigiri sushi sits alongside tableside dishes such as sukiyaki. The Japanese cooking house classics appear across several set menu formulas.
Gault&Millau describes a sober, contemporary dining room with plenty of light wood, where the authentic cuisine comes through clearly. Guests can choose air conditioning, outdoor seating, and a private room for private parties.
