Samouraï

Few restaurants in Europe can claim 50 years of continuous Japanese culinary heritage: Samouraï opened in Brussels in 1974 and has maintained its position as a cornerstone of authentic Japanese dining ever since. It is listed in the Michelin Guide, cited as one of the best Japanese restaurants by the Japanese Embassy in Brussels, and has moved to its current Avenue Louise address while preserving its traditional identity. The menu encompasses all the pillars of classic Japanese cuisine: sushi and sashimi of excellent quality, sukiyaki (beef hotpot), teppanyaki, bento boxes and gyoza. The restaurant draws a mix of Japanese business travellers, diplomats and long-term Brussels residents who return generation after generation. Its longevity and embassy endorsement place it among the most credible traditional Japanese addresses in Belgium.
