Spanish Flavors in Brussels | Michelin Guide

👦🏻 As a resident of the Sablon area, I’m surrounded by MichelinStar restaurants and art galleries at every turn, yet I often take them for granted in my daily life. So, a big thanks to Brother Cui for the invitation, which opened a new chapter in my culinary exploration! 🍻 🇪🇸 Hispania Brussels, as a hotel restaurant, has a decor that leans towards formal and classical. However, due to the small size of the venue, the proximity of the tables is a bit too close for comfort, causing a slight sense of discomfort. 🥂 For our meal, we mainly ordered some specialties and recommended dishes. The RoastSucklingPig recommended by Brother Cui, as well as the #CuttlefishRice, were both highly anticipated. 🍖 The roasted meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich sauce that complemented the meat well, providing a refreshing balance. The only downside was that the fat at the junction of the skin and meat was a bit too abundant, making it slightly oily if eaten too quickly or in excess. 🦑 The cuttlefish rice had a rich texture, paired with large chunks of seafood, offering a refreshing and bouncy mouthfeel. Highly recommended. 🐚 The appetizer of shellfish was less recommendable; the texture was a bit soft, and the seasoning was heavy, masking the original flavor of the seafood. 🍮 For desserts, we tried three options. The cheesecake was the most recommended, while the other two were rather average and not outstanding. Hispania, a Spanish culinary brand, has a presence not only in #Brussels but also in London. However, only the Brussels location is featured in the BrusselsMichelinGuide. #Belgium #BelgiumTravel
