Kamo Brussels

Kamo sits on the Chaussée de Waterloo in Ixelles, a ten-minute walk from the shops of Avenue Louise. It holds a Michelin star, the only Japanese kitchen in Brussels currently recognised with the honour.

The room runs smart, trading the high-volume buzz typical of the capital’s sushi counters for a quiet, focused intensity. While other Japanese venues in the city lean into the sprawling, social energy of the nearby boulevards, Kamo thrives on the restraint of its omakase-led menu. It is the better choice for those who prefer their dinner without the theatrical distraction of the centre; the dining room is small enough that the kitchen’s precision remains the only focus. Choose this over the crowded spots closer to the park if you actually want to taste the knife work.
