Dining at the Metropole Hotel

L’Alban Chambon - Italian baroque decor and classical but daring French cuisine have made L’Alban Chambon one of the most celebrated restaurants in Brussels. The gastronomic restaurant serves lunch and dinner, with dishes including risotto of Saint-Jacques scallops and wild boar in a crust of sesame seeds. The wine list is suitably extensive.

Café Metropole - Accessed either via the hotel or its own on-street entrance, this buzzing café is a popular haunt for locals and guests alike. While the interior design is as flamboyant as the hotel, a wide range of more moderately priced meals and patisserie is served. The heated, canopied terrace at the front entrance is warm enough for alfresco dining, even in winter months.

Excelsior Lounge -A full buffet breakfast is served in the marble splendor of the Excelsior Lounge. Situated in the lobby area, its dark wood furniture complements leather chairs in burgundy and racing green.
