Le Tournant, French-Belgian restaurant in Ixelles, Brussels
Le Tournant is a French-Belgian restaurant on Chaussée de Wavre in the Ixelles neighborhood of Brussels. The interior is simple, with wooden chairs and tables, blackboard menus on the walls, and a tiled counter that opens onto the kitchen.
The restaurant opened in 2012 and quickly built a following in Ixelles. Over the years it earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a Prix Plaisir Brussels award in 2019.
Le Tournant draws regulars from the Ixelles neighborhood who come back for honest, seasonal cooking rather than any particular occasion. The blackboard menus on the walls change often, reflecting what local producers have available at any given time.
Booking a table in advance is a good idea, especially for evenings and weekends, since the dining room is small. The restaurant sits on Chaussée de Wavre, which is easy to reach on foot from nearby bus stops.
The wine list runs to over 150 natural wines, and the staff sometimes bring out a bottle of their own choosing to share with guests. The restaurant also holds a Good Food label with three toques, a Brussels regional award recognizing sustainable, quality cooking.
