Stop by L'Express, the Lebanese shawarma place near Grand Place that keeps serving into the small hours. Grab a mixed shawarma wrap with garlic sauce and eat in the larger-than-expected dining room.

📖

Full description

L'Express is a Lebanese restaurant near the Grand Place serving halal shawarma at budget-friendly prices, and it stays open until 3 AM, which makes it a reliable late-night stop. Reviewers recommend the mixed shawarma with garlic sauce over hummus, and a Lebanese diner called it the best shawarma wrap they had eaten outside their home country.

The space is larger than the street frontage suggests, and staff are described as welcoming. With more than 4,300 reviews, no booking required and a typical visit of around 45 minutes, it suits solo travellers, locals and groups after a quick, filling meal at almost any hour.

Reviews

The food was really really good after a long time. We actually had good food in Europe. Lol. Totally worth it. We like it spicy and the staff was very accommodating.
