Albert: the rooftop that elevates Brussels
A dining experience above the city
Just steps from the Grand Place, perched atop the Royal Library of Belgium, Albert offers a breathtaking panorama over Brussels. Here, you can enjoy inspired cuisine with the city as your backdrop: the soaring spire of the town hall, the Basilica of Koekelberg, and, in the distance, the Atomium, standing watch over the capital.
In an elegant and timeless atmosphere, with marble, rosewood, and travertine accents, Albert redefines the rooftop experience in Brussels. A place where you can take in the view—both in your surroundings and on your plate.
A historic setting with a forward-thinking vision
Built in the 1960s, the Royal Library was a symbol of Brussels’ modernist era. What was once a simple cafeteria has now transformed into a restaurant where seasonal, local cuisine takes center stage. Each dish pays tribute to Belgium’s rich culinary heritage, with a contemporary and refined touch.
Honest, seasonal cuisine
At Albert, fresh, local, and raw ingredients are carefully selected and prepared with precision. The menu evolves with the seasons, offering balanced and harmonious pairings:
- Beetroot, apple & egg cream salad – A timeless classic, reimagined with elegance.
- Rabbit terrine, savory & citrus – A nod to Belgium’s terroir, without nostalgia.
- Skrei fillet, lemongrass broth & pak choi – A journey between Brussels and Asia.
- Caramelized endive tart, Karditsel cream & fresh herb salad – The essence of Belgium in a single bite.
The buffet, generous yet refined, invites diners to compose their plate with gourmet curiosity. Every bite tells a story.
And soon… starlit evenings
While Albert is already a delight for lunch and weekend brunch, it will soon extend its experience into the evening, starting in spring 2025. A glass in hand, a beautifully plated dish before you, and Brussels glowing beneath your gaze… A new way to experience the capital, where fine dining meets an exceptional view.
