Atomium Restaurant, Panoramic restaurant in Atomium, Belgium.
The Atomium Restaurant is a circular dining room with large windows positioned around 100 meters above Brussels. The space offers sweeping views of the city and its surroundings from this elevated vantage point.
The restaurant opened in 1958 as part of the Brussels World Fair when the Atomium was built as a temporary exhibit. The structure was kept after the fair ended and became a permanent landmark, with the dining space evolving over the following decades.
The restaurant serves Belgian specialties and regional dishes made with seasonal ingredients from local producers in the Brussels area. Diners experience traditional cooking methods that reflect how people in the region eat and celebrate food.
Reservations are required for dinner service, while lunch is available daily throughout the week. It is worth checking current opening times before visiting, as schedules may change with the seasons.
Diners reach the restaurant by traveling through tubes that connect different levels of the Atomium in specialized elevators. This unusual way of entering the dining space adds an extra dimension to the meal experience beyond just the food.
