We came here on recommendation from a Japanese friend, and were not disappointed. We've eaten is quite a few other Japanese restaurants in Brussels, and this one is now our favourite. It's not cheap, but then neither are the others, but the food here was first class. The room is small, you HAVE to book ahead, simple decor but pleasant.... More

This is my third visit to Kamo over the years and the gastronomical menu is still good value. While Kamo may not be the best place for sushi and sashimi in Brussels their other dishes are exceptional and their creativity is what makes them different from most other Japanese restaurants which is probably why they got and to my opinion...

Honestly this place would just be average or slightly above average if it was located in Asia, but since it's in Brussels, they got one Michelin star. The place is small and crowded (so probably wearing cashmere wouldn't be a good idea as the clothes might smell when you leave), we sat at the bar which was nice to see... More

Where do I start? I'm very shocked this place has a Michelin star, from a health perspective I saw the same box of fish sitting out on the counter the 3 hrs we were there, also the dish and prep sink are one in the same with the prep area right next to it. I was even more baffled by... More

This was my 2nd visit within 2 weeks. I was lucky to have been able to get these reservations and it seems to be easier at lunchtime than at dinner time. I ordered the sashimi menu both times, and found the fish excellent and extremely fresh. The service is wonderful - very cheerful and pleasant. The luncheon menus run around... More

Ranked #2 at Trip Advisor! I'd put it at #1. Very good food, fine service, excellent evening. Looking forward to going again to sample more of the menu. Good value for money too. Reservation is a must. Many recommend the bar in comments here I'd agree.

My boyfriend took me to this great restaurant for Valentine’s day. Well, one day before Valentine’s day to be exact, as he wasn’t able to reserve a table for the exact date when he called 3 weeks(!) in advance. So, word of advice for anyone who wants to go there on a specific day: reserve well in advance! The décor... More

Superb Japanese restaurant with original and inspirational dishes. The chef is a perfectionist, which he translates into his menu. The entire team works like a clock- work and it is amazing to experience them working hand-in-hand. The service is subtle and friendly as you would expect it. It is worth waiting for a receiving a reservation and we have already... More

We dined. Marinaded tuna! Delish! 1st cup of Green tea (Kukicha) served @ 2 minutes 70°C. Purrrrrfect. The 2nd and 3rd cups were (as in all Japanese restaurants of my experience) stewed. But I'm a tea-head and it's unlikely others pay too much heed to this. The citrus cod poached in a Chinese cabbage leaf was superlative and the Azuki... More
