albert Brussels

Albert Brussels is a rooftop restaurant and terrace occupying the fifth floor of the Royal Library of Belgium at Mont des Arts, right in the cultural heart of Brussels. The location grants the venue what is regularly described as one of the largest rooftop spaces in the city, paired with a sweeping view over the rooftops and architectural landmarks of the Belgian capital. The kitchen, led by Chef Filip Fransen, is guided by a farm-to-fork philosophy, with an organic, seasonal menu of fresh, sustainably sourced local produce that evolves monthly to reflect the best ingredients available. The interior carries the warmth of original 1960s design — travertine columns, teak panelling, black mosaic floors, marble tables, and orange leatherette upholstery — giving the space a distinctive retro character. Open daily from 10 am to 5 pm for pastries, lunch, and afternoon treats, with weekend brunch buffets served from 11 am to 3 pm, Albert Brussels is an ideal mid-city pause combining cultural setting with thoughtful, ingredient-led cooking.
