Le Selecto

Le Selecto is a mid-range French restaurant in central Brussels that stays open until late in the evening, which makes it handy for a night out as well as a lunch. Reviewers praise the presentation and portion sizes of dishes such as salmon, chicken and scallop carpaccio, and the asparagus velouté with aubergine and octopus starter.

The room can feel tight in places, and one guest reported confusion over the lunch offer, so it helps to confirm the menu when you book. Rated 4.5 across more than 1,400 reviews, it suits couples and locals looking for a lively, unfussy dinner.
