Em’s star rating

We had a fantastic meal at Crab Club, enjoying the perfectly seared st‑jacques with lemon and hazelnuts, the creamy oeuf cocotte au crabe, tender seiche with chili and fennel, and flavorful couteau à l’ail. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and paired beautifully with a crisp white wine.

Fun Fact

Crab Club has become well known in Brussels for its creative surf‑and‑turf combinations, like lacquered octopus with pork belly and fresh figs, which helped build its reputation as much as its seafood dishes.
