A simple formula, rare value for money

At midday, Les Marmites du Monde builds its lunch around the dish of the day: main only, starter + main, or the full three courses at €17.90. Everything is prepared on site that same morning.

In Brussels, a complete homemade formula at that price is rare: it is what built the reputation of the Saint-Boniface lunch among people working nearby.

  • Dish of the day cooked that morning
  • Starter + main or full 3 courses
  • 3 courses at €17.90
  • Monday to Friday, 12:00 to 14:30

A menu that changes every day

The lunch is never fixed: it changes daily with the market and the chef's inspiration. A chicken curry one day, Creole fish the next, a vegetarian plate when the vegetables deserve it.

That is also why it is not published in advance: the composition is decided in the kitchen, with the produce of the day.

Lunch in Ixelles without losing your break

The midday service is designed to fit a lunch break: starters arrive quickly, mains follow. The terrace opens with the first sunny days.

The restaurant sits on Saint-Boniface square, minutes from Porte de Namur, Matonge and the European quarter. All access details are on the contact page.

Booking your lunch

Between 12:00 and 13:30 the room fills fast: booking is the safest way to get a table, and it takes less than a minute online.

For a team lunch or a table of more than eight, use the group request so the kitchen can plan.
