Boulengier — Restaurant in Saint-Gilles - Sint-Gillis

The Boulengier is undoubtedly one of Brussels' finest organic bakeries, and its charm lies in its simplicity, transparency, and the intensity of flavor it offers.

What sets this bakery apart is its unwavering commitment to using organic ingredients and crafting every product by hand. It's a joy to support such a local and organic establishment. Allow me to recommend their Baguette Traditionnelle, a masterpiece in bread-making. With a beautifully crunchy crust and an impeccably balanced crumb, it promises a tender chewiness that's nothing short of delightful. Enjoy it in its purest form or elevate it with a drizzle of young olive oil, a combination that expertly balances the bread's acidity with the richness of the baguette.

Yet, what truly stole the show for me was their Pain aux Chocolat. I can confidently say it ranks among the best I've ever had. Its golden-buttery exterior boasts a tender, crispy texture, while the interior bursts with flavor and juiciness. The dark chocolate filling harmonizes seamlessly with every bite, creating an exquisite sensory experience.

The Boulengier unquestionably belongs in the upper echelons of Brussels' bakeries. A visit to this bakery is a journey worth embarking upon for any food lover. For more culinary impressions, follow me here and on Instagram...

Not the same but is a good alternative. Staff is always busy as there always seems to be a line which is a good sign that you are doing something right. They still manage to smile and give off a...
