Brussels, Belgium
Inside TheMerode's 17th-century townhouse on Place Poelaert, Ciao brings Italian cooking with Tuscan foundations to one of Brussels' more architecturally compelling addresses. The kitchen holds a 2024 Michelin Plate, and dishes like homemade tortellini with Chianti-marinated beef signal a kitchen that takes its reference points seriously.
