More information on La Maison du Cygne

This elegant restaurant is housed in a 17th century building overlooking Grand Place. At one point this was a popular cafe where in 1881 the Belgian Socialist Party was founded. Now it is one of the finest restaurants in Brussels, where elegance, class and style are standard. There are five different rooms—the most coveted seats overlooking Grand Place. The cuisine is classic French, and the wine cellar has a permanent stock of no less than 70,000 bottles.
