The story

Le Corbier Brussels: A Belgian Bistro Hidden in an Ancestral Cellar Under Le Fooding Recognition

The kitchen and open fires

Le Corbier occupies an ancestral cellar in the Sablon district of Brussels, serving as a refined Belgian bistro where Chef Olivier Chanteux centers his cooking around open flames. Owners Arnaud le Grelle and Delphine Roberti de Winghe revived the venue, commissioning decorator Gérald Watelet to shape the interior. Chanteux prepares rustic dishes over grills visible to guests, bridging traditional French techniques with Belgian cooking traditions.

Wood-grilled signatures

The menu features an Irish ribeye grilled tableside, delivering a smoky char and tender meat served alongside crispy twice-cooked fries. Start with frogs legs sautéed in garlic butter and finished with persillade for a rich, savory counterpoint. Dessert brings a classic French toast presented with vanilla ice cream and salted caramel.

Ancestral cellar ambiance

The dining space sits deep within a vaulted cellar, hosting only about forty covers to maintain an intimate atmosphere. Plush velvet upholstery and colorful carpeting contrast with starched tablecloths. This design creates a bourgeois speakeasy feel that earned the Belgian bistro a spot on Le Fooding's list. Two open fireplaces warm the room during cooler months, while a dedicated fumoir extends the evening for those seeking a quieter corner after their meal.

Le Fooding — Listed

At Le Corbier, the new secret spot in the Sablon neighborhood, ignore the blinding spot lights, because what really sets the tone is the plush velvet, colorful carpeting and starched tablecloths. It’s the kind of bourgeois speakeasy where neon lights don’t have a say. Whisper, savor and linger. Basically, surrender to it. For the first thrill, chef Olivier Chanteux fires out some frogs legs sautéed in garlic butter, with just the right amount of persillade to revive your childhood memories. Next, an Irish ribeye, grilled in the dining room, right before your very eyes, perfectly tender, juicy and charred as should be, and served with crispy, golden, twice-cooked fries; and if you’ve any room left, there’s a classic French toast just like grandma used to make, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce. It’s rustic, it’s dignified, it’s delightful! We leave Le Corbier rosy-cheeked, our hearts full (and bellies too!) and with a faint trace of wood smoke on our shirt collars. The urge to go back is already nagging! · Gordon Bleu
