Meat Factory Brussel — Restaurant in Brussels

I recently visited Meat Factory in Brussels, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place meant serious business when it comes to quality meat. The atmosphere is vibrant and contemporary, with a modern industrial feel that complements their focus on high-end cuts. The selection of meats is incredible—whether you're into steaks, burgers, or unique cuts, they’ve got you covered. I opted for the dry-aged rib-eye, and it was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The marbling was on point, and it practically melted in my mouth. My friend had the Wagyu burger, and it was just as delicious. The sides are also fantastic—crispy fries, creamy mashed potatoes, and fresh salads.

What really sets this place apart is the service. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and gave excellent recommendations. They were happy to answer all of my questions about the different cuts and how they were sourced, which made the experience feel even more personal.

I also loved that they have a great selection of craft beers and wines to pair with your meal, and the dessert—rich chocolate mousse—was the perfect way to end a great meal. If you're a meat lover in Brussels, Meat Factory should be at the top of your list. I can’t wait to go back for another meal. Highly...

We went out to this place in search of a nice steak dinner to pair with our visit to Bozar, and this was one of the best rated places in Brussels, but I honestly don't understand why.

We came in on a weekday night at around 6, there were about 4 tables occupied, and only one waiter on staff who was not paying attention. Took a fair while (15-20 minutes) for us to order anything at all, and all the while the tables next to us were waiting for cleaning and one had apparently ordered a drink before we even got in and hadn't even gotten it when we finally ordered.

We had the BA steak and ribeye, and because of the reviews and the price (39 for a ribeye) we expected at least something good, but to be honest it was fairly disappointing overall. The preparation was decent, medium rare, but I guess the quality of the meat itself is just not great. It was pretty bland, no real flavour, and the fat wasn't rendered properly so it was pretty chewy to begin with. For this price I expected good quality meat, and this just wasn't it. Grocerystore levels.

I get that things can go wrong, but you can't skimp on quality, and in combination with the poor staff it is baffling to me that this place has so many stars on so...

Fantastic food, nice cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff.

I was there in August 2025 and had the Entrecôte Cheesburger with Croquettes which was fantastic. The sauce, the pickles together with the 200g beef just fit perfectly.

My grandpa hat the Belgium Specialty, a beefstew, with fries and it was absolutely delicious. It was perfectly tender beef goulash with a deliciously seasoned sauce to it. May even be the best goulash I’ve ever eaten in my life (because I tried the beef and dipped my croquettes in the sauce).

My grandma had the Chicken burger with fries which I didn’t try but she said it was delicious as well. As a German, I can only recommend the large Stella Artois, a light blonde beer that just fit overall to the food.

I can only imagine the steaks being too good as well there.

We sat outside and the place was not too full, it was a chill atmosphere really. The fellow who served us was very funny and kind.

Overall I can’t say a negative thing about this restaurant and I would go there again 100%. Definitely worth a visit if you like meat...
