After successful launches in London (2019) and Ibiza (2021), The Standard now lands in the heart of Europe — welcome to The Standard, Brussels. This vibrant new hotspot in the Belgian capital blends bold design, signature hospitality, and a sun-soaked culinary journey that’s set to become the talk of the town.
True to its global reputation, The Standard, Brussels offers not just one, but three unique culinary concepts — each with its own distinct atmosphere, flavor profile, and summer vibe. From sky-high rooftop dining with panoramic views to laid-back all-day classics and chic cocktail culture, this is where Brussels eats, drinks, and celebrates the season.
Lila29 – Rooftop Restaurant & Bar
Take the elevator up to the 29th floor and get ready to feel literally on top of the world. Welcome to Lila29 — the highest rooftop restaurant and bar in Brussels, featuring stunning views, indoor and outdoor seating, and a lush green space that transforms into a dance floor when the sun goes down.
The vibe? Stylish and elevated. The food? Decadent and Iberian-inspired. Start light with pan de cristal topped with tomato or crab, crisp croquettes, or top-quality tinned seafood like Cantabrian anchovies. For a fresh and summery combo, try the classic melon with Jamón Ibérico.
Mains include bold dishes like Lomo de Rubia Gallega with black rice or a timeless Spanish tortilla with Padrón peppers. Sip a Lila29 Spritz or try the unique Green Peppercorn Coconut Martini for a cocktail that tastes like vacation. End the night with a nightcap and watch Brussels glitter beneath you.
Double Standard – All-Day Diner & Bar
On the ground floor, Double Standard brings easygoing energy and comfort food with a twist. This all-day diner is where American classics meet Belgian soul, served up in retro-chic interiors, a sunny outdoor terrace, and a leafy greenhouse perfect for people-watching.
Start your day with fluffy pancakes, a savory Belgian frittata, or go all in with the Full Belgian breakfast and a hot coffee — or, if you’re feeling bold, a Pickled Lemon Bloody Mary.
From midday to dinner, dig into craveable dishes like the signature DS Burger with aged beef, bone marrow, raclette, and Brussels ketchup, or go for crispy fried chicken with savory waffles — a Belgian spin on a Southern staple.
Looking for something lighter or quicker? Grab a croffle (croissant-meets-waffle), try the fried okra with ranch, enjoy a classic shrimp cocktail, or a hand-cut steak tartare. Wash it all down with a Ginger Margarita or the smooth, smoky Foam Fall Manhattan.
Lobby Bar – Cocktails & Cool Vibes
Step into the stylish Lobby Bar, a Mid-Century Modern dream with soaring ceilings, a circular bar, and cocktails you’ll want to post before you sip. Start your night here, end it here — or make it your all-night hangout.
Signature drinks include the Amber Sipper, an elegant mix of bourbon, Lillet Blanc, and citrus, and the Poir Riff, a refreshing blend of vodka, pear, anise-verjus, and dry vermouth. Want it chic? Order it Royale-style with bubbles. These reimagined Martinis are exclusively available here.
Prefer non-alcoholic options? The zero-proof cocktails are just as creative. And if you’re a beer lover, you’ll find a top-tier selection of Belgian craft brews on tap.
Feeling snacky? Choose from olives, oysters, Wagyu beef sliders, or go casual with nuts and croquettes. Whether it’s a quiet break, a first date, or a final nightcap, the Lobby Bar sets the tone for a perfect summer evening.
