Three courses at €17.90, all homemade, in the heart of Ixelles: the best way to have lunch at Saint-Boniface.

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.
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.
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.
