Check current hours and booking directly with the venue before visiting.
Turku, Finland
Brasserie Amelie occupies a address on Linnankatu in central Turku, positioning itself within the city's French-influenced dining tier. The brasserie format, relatively rare in Finland's restaurant scene, offers a middle register between casual café culture and tasting-menu formality.

Lille, France
On Rue de Béthune, one of Lille's main pedestrian arteries, Brasserie André occupies the kind of address that anchors a city's dining identity rather than merely serving it.

For visitors planning a meal in Lille, it represents a reliable point of reference in the city's mid-to-upper dining tier.
London, United Kingdom
Brasserie Angelica belongs to Fitzrovia’s useful middle ground: central enough for theatre, galleries and Soho spillover, but calmer than the West End’s louder dining corridors. Its Newman Street address places it among London’s compact brasserie and bistro culture, where the draw is less ceremony than a polished room, flexible pacing and a meal that can carry either a work evening or a longer night out.
Paris, France
Brasserie Barbès sits at the intersection of the 18th arrondissement's working-class history and its current demographic shift, occupying a corner address on Boulevard Barbès where the neighbourhood's North African markets and Montmartre's creative overflow meet.

Zermatt, Switzerland
Brasserie Belle Epoque belongs to Zermatt’s village-centre dining circuit, where Alpine comfort, hotel-era polish, and international resort habits meet within a compact pedestrian core. The useful lens here is sourcing: in a mountain town built around short supply chains, dairy, preserved produce, freshwater fish, and Swiss meat traditions matter as much as room style.
New York City, United States
Brasserie Boulud is Daniel Boulud’s planned French restaurant at 1900 Broadway, opposite Lincoln Center. Its official site still says “Coming Soon”; opening and service have not been confirmed by the operator.
Miami, United States
Positioned on the quiet island enclave of Brickell Key, this brasserie operates at a remove from Miami's louder dining circuits.

Tbilisi, Georgia
Brasserie Buvette occupies a quietly significant address on Lado Gudiashvili Street in Tbilisi's Old Town, where French brasserie form meets the growing sophistication of Georgia's capital dining scene.

On a cobbled stretch of Skostredet in central Bergen, Brasserie Cherie occupies the kind of address that rewards those who pay attention to a city's quieter streets.

Narbonne, France
On the Canal de la Robine in the heart of Narbonne, Brasserie Co occupies a position that places it squarely within the city's everyday dining culture rather than its fine-dining fringe.

New York City, United States
A French brasserie rooted in the Midtown East corridor, Brasserie Cognac sits at 517 Lexington Avenue in a neighbourhood defined by corporate expense accounts and a long-standing appetite for Parisian-inflected dining.

Les Giettes, Switzerland
A mountain brasserie in Les Giettes, above the Rhône valley town of Monthey, operating in the tradition of Swiss alpage dining where the altitude and the pasture define what ends up on the plate. The format belongs to a category of high-elevation farm restaurants that exist outside the formal restaurant circuit yet draw visitors willing to drive a winding road for food that is inseparable from its landscape. See our full Les Giettes context for regional orientation.
Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium
Brasserie de l'Alliance sits on Avenue Alphonse Allard in Braine-l'Alleud, a Walloon Brabant town whose dining scene has grown steadily more considered over the past decade.

For the area, it represents a reliable address within easy reach of Brussels.
Brussels, Belgium
Positioned along Avenue Houba de Strooper in Brussels' Laeken district, Brasserie de l'Expo draws from the neighbourhood's deep association with the 1958 World's Fair. The address places it within reach of the Atomium and the Royal Domain, giving it a context that few Brussels brasseries can claim. It occupies the classic Belgian brasserie tier, where the format and setting do as much work as the plate.
Paris, France
On the Île Saint-Louis, Brasserie de l'Isle Saint-Louis occupies a position that few Paris addresses can claim: genuine neighbourhood institution on one of the city's most visited stretches of quai. Where the multi-starred rooms of the Marais and Saint-Germain press forward with evolving tasting menus, this address holds to the rhythms of the classic French brasserie — a different kind of argument for how Paris eats.
Lyon, France
On the Saône's western bank in Lyon's 9th arrondissement, Brasserie de l'Ouest occupies a quai-side address where the brasserie tradition meets a considered approach to sourcing and waste reduction. The kitchen draws on the Rhône-Alpes larder with the discipline of a city that has long treated provenance as non-negotiable.

Arlon, Luxembourg
Brasserie de La Gaichel sits at Maison 5-7 in the hamlet of Gaichel on the Luxembourg-Belgian border, a setting that places it squarely within the region's tradition of cross-border brasserie dining. The address alone signals something about the kitchen's likely sourcing territory: pastures, forests, and market gardens that straddle two countries. For travellers passing between Arlon and Luxembourg City, it represents a considered stop rather than a convenience.
Mougins, France
On the sun-warmed square at the heart of medieval Mougins, Brasserie de la Méditerranée anchors itself to the sourcing traditions of the French Riviera's back country: produce from the Alpes-Maritimes, seafood from the Côte d'Azur's day boats, and the olive-and-herb pantry that defines Provençal cooking at its most direct. It sits in a village whose restaurant culture runs unusually deep for its size.
Narbonne, France
On the Place des Karantes in the heart of Narbonne, Brasserie de la Mer occupies the kind of position that Mediterranean port towns reserve for their most direct pleasures: seafood, sunlight, and the particular rhythm of a city that has traded with the sea for centuries.

Waterloo, Belgium
Brasserie de Waterloo sits on the Chaussée de Charleroi in the heart of a town that carries more than its share of European history.

Sacramento, United States
Brasserie du Monde occupies a prominent address on Sacramento's K Street corridor, positioning itself within the city's upper tier of formal dining.

Reservations and current menu details are best confirmed directly with the venue.
New York City, United States
Brasserie Fouquet’s New York brings the French brasserie grammar to Tribeca, where polished rooms and hotel-adjacent dining compete with downtown’s ingredient-led restaurants.

Namur, Belgium
Brasserie François occupies a commanding position on Place Saint-Aubain, one of Namur's most architecturally coherent squares, putting it in direct conversation with the city's cathedral and civic heritage.

Berlin, Germany
Brasserie Hélène occupies a prominent address on Tauentzienstraße, positioning itself within Berlin's mid-to-upper dining tier where French brasserie tradition meets the city's appetite for European cooking done with precision.

Victoria, Canada
A fixture on Government Street since the early 2000s, Brasserie L'Ecole brings the casual authority of a French provincial brasserie to Victoria's dining scene.

It sits in a different register from Victoria's destination-dining circuit, and that's precisely the point.
Charleston, United States
At 1 Broad Street in Charleston's historic financial district, Brasserie La Banque occupies a former bank building where the architecture alone sets a particular expectation.

It sits in a tier of Charleston dining that takes both the room and the sourcing seriously.
Paris, France
Brasserie La Lorraine occupies a prominent corner at Place des Ternes in Paris's 8th arrondissement, operating in the tradition of the grand Parisian brasserie.

Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Brasserie Le Jura sits on Rue de la Treille in the old town of Neuchâtel, drawing a local crowd that treats it as a reliable anchor in a city better known for its lake views than its dining scene.

Landersheim, France
A village brasserie on the Route de Saessolsheim in Landersheim, Alsace, Brasserie Le Landersheim represents the kind of rooted, regional dining that the Bas-Rhin countryside does quietly and without fanfare.

New York City, United States
Brasserie Le Mistral brings the unhurried rhythms of French brasserie dining to Park Slope, Brooklyn, at a time when that format is rare on the borough's side of the bridge. Positioned below the city's Michelin-chasing tasting-menu tier but above the casual French bistro, it occupies a middle register that New York does surprisingly little with — a sustained, course-driven meal without the formality of Per Se or the price ceiling of Le Bernardin.
Berlin, Germany
On Kurfürstendamm, Berlin's most storied commercial boulevard, Brasserie Le Paris occupies the French-restaurant niche that the city has historically underserved at the mid-to-upper tier. Where Berlin's Michelin circuit runs heavily toward modern German and creative European formats — Rutz, Nobelhart and Schmutzig, FACIL — a classically framed brasserie sits in a distinct competitive pocket, worth understanding before you book.
Washington DC, United States
Brasserie Liberté occupies a Georgetown address on Prospect Street NW, bringing a French brasserie sensibility to one of Washington's most storied residential corridors.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Brasserie Louis belongs to Phnom Penh’s high-rise dining tier, where the city’s business core meets a brasserie format built for long service windows and mixed occasions.

Brasserie Lundi occupies a prominent address on Peachtree Street NE, positioning itself within Atlanta's upper tier of formal dining. Expect a meal structured as much by ceremony as by cuisine.
San Sebastián, Spain

Its central Donostia address places it inside a city where seafood, market vegetables, pintxos discipline, and Basque grill traditions shape even casual dining decisions.
Zaventem, Belgium
Zaventem Beyond the Flight Path Kouterweg is not the address that draws most visitors to Zaventem. That postcode belongs, in the public imagination, to the airport interchange and the business corridors that feed it. Yet the commune has its own...
Paris, France
Brasserie Martin occupies the 11th arrondissement's quieter residential edge at 24 Rue Saint-Ambroise, sitting within the tradition of neighbourhood brasseries that anchor Paris dining life beyond the tourist circuits.

London, United Kingdom
Brasserie Max sits in the Covent Garden–Seven Dials orbit, where London’s theatre traffic, hotel dining and ingredient-led brasserie cooking overlap.

Paris, France
Brasserie Molitor belongs to the western Paris brasserie tradition, where terrace culture, hotel dining and neighbourhood regularity matter as much as culinary ambition.

San Antonio, United States
At the Pearl district's most-discussed French brasserie, the setting does considerable work before a single dish arrives.

Munich, Germany
Brasserie OskarMaria occupies a storied address at Salvatorplatz 1 in central Munich, positioned where the city's literary café tradition meets contemporary German brasserie dining. The room draws a cross-section of Munich professionals, cultural visitors, and theatre-goers from the adjacent Residenztheater. Lunch and dinner operate as distinct registers here, making the time of your visit as consequential as what you order.
Vienna, Austria
Few dining rooms in Vienna carry the architectural weight of the Palmenhaus in the Burggarten. The 19th-century iron-and-glass greenhouse sets a scene that the brasserie format inhabits naturally, placing it in a category of its own among central Vienna's all-day venues. It draws a broad crowd, from museum visitors to after-concert regulars, precisely because the setting does the heavy lifting before the menu is opened.
Jonkoping, Sweden
A brasserie address on Kyrkogatan in central Jönköping, Brasserie Park sits in a city where Scandinavian ingredient discipline increasingly shapes mid-to-upper dining.

Rouen, France
Facing the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Rouen on Place de la Cathédrale, Brasserie Paul occupies among the more historically charged addresses in Normandy.

Geiranger, Norway
In a village defined by one of Norway's most dramatic fjord approaches, Brasserie Posten occupies a position that few dining rooms can claim: a genuinely local address in a place most visitors pass through rather than settle into. The kitchen draws on the larder of western Norway, where cold Atlantic waters and high-altitude farms produce ingredients with a clarity that does most of the work. For those spending a night or two in Geiranger rather than simply photographing it, Posten is the obvious place to eat.
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Brasserie Prince sits on Edinburgh’s Princes Street, where hotel dining meets the city’s appetite for polished, produce-led cooking. Read it less as a destination tasting-menu address and more as a brasserie lens on Scotland’s larder: useful for travellers who want central Edinburgh, recognizable format, and a menu expected to make local sourcing do visible work.
Berlin, Germany
Brasserie Quarré belongs to Berlin’s grand-hotel brasserie tradition: formal enough for Unter den Linden, but rooted in the everyday logic of the European all-day dining room. Its value lies less in novelty than in location, continuity, and the way a brasserie format reads in a capital city shaped by embassies, museums, business lunches, and pre-theatre dinners.
Bruges, Belgium
On Eiermarkt square in the heart of Bruges, Brasserie Raymond occupies the kind of address that signals confidence rather than novelty. The format here is the familiar grammar of the Belgian brasserie — a menu architecture built around accessibility and depth rather than tasting-menu theatre.

Zürich, Switzerland
Brasserie Seefeld serves Authentic Sardinian Italian cooking with a terrace, an extensive wine list, and a leisurely pace suited to lunch or dinner.
Vienna, Austria

For occasion dining in the first district, it earns consideration alongside Vienna's most closely watched addresses.
València, Spain
Brasserie Sorolla belongs to the beach-side València conversation rather than the formal tasting-menu circuit: a useful address for readers tracking how the city’s maritime districts turn local produce, rice culture, and Mediterranean habits into brasserie-style dining. Its value lies in location and context, with Poblados Marítimos giving the table a different rhythm from the old-town dining rooms inland.
Istanbul, Turkey
Brasserie Ten sits in Beyoğlu, where Istanbul’s restaurant culture is shaped by Karaköy’s port history, Galata’s apartment-block dining rooms, and a new preference for produce-led cooking over spectacle. The draw is less about awards or ceremony than fit: a city brasserie address for travellers who want Istanbul ingredients treated with urban restraint rather than resort-style theatre.
Boulder, United States
Brasserie Ten Ten occupies a prominent corner on Walnut Street in the heart of downtown Boulder, serving as a reference point for the city's European-style brasserie tradition.

Ostseebad Sellin, Germany
Brasserie Toujours sits in Ostseebad Sellin, a Rügen resort town where dining is shaped by the Baltic, spa-town routines, and the seasonality of island travel.

Silkeborg, Denmark
Situated on Torvet 7 at the heart of Silkeborg's main square, Underhuset occupies a position that places it at the centre of the city's dining conversation. The address alone signals proximity to the lake district's compact but increasingly serious restaurant scene, where local establishments compete on food quality rather than footfall. For visitors working through Silkeborg's options, Underhuset is a natural reference point on the square.
Lucerne, Switzerland
Positioned along Lucerne's celebrated Schweizerhofquai, Brasserie VICO occupies one of the city's most coveted waterfront addresses. Where many lakeside restaurants in this price tier lean into Swiss formality, VICO draws from brasserie traditions that sit more comfortably beside a glass of wine than a tasting menu format. A practical and atmospheric choice for visitors already engaged with Lucerne's broader dining scene.
Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium
Brasserie Vinois sits on Philippe de Denterghemlaan in Sint-Martens-Latem, the leafy Leie village that has long attracted Belgian artists and the Ghent professional class looking for something quieter than the city. The name signals the house orientation: brasserie format, wine at the centre. For visitors already exploring the village's dining options, it belongs on the shortlist alongside neighbours A Table, Babette, Chez Jean, and De Klokkeput.
Bern, Switzerland
Brasserie VUE occupies a measured address at Kochergasse 3/5 in central Bern, positioning itself within the city's mid-to-upper dining tier where brasserie format meets Swiss-European ambition. The room and menu structure speak to a tradition of unhurried, ingredient-led cooking that Bern's old-town dining scene has long supported. For visitors assembling a serious table in the Swiss capital, it belongs in the shortlist alongside the city's more formally credentialed options.
