About this spot
In the vibrant Saint-Gilles neighborhood, Antigone serves up bold Greek flavors that feel like a warm embrace after navigating Brussels' cobblestone streets. Skip the tourist traps and order the spanakopita with its flaky phyllo layers or dive into the slow-braised lamb kleftiko that locals queue for. The atmosphere buzzes with energy, making it the perfect spot to grab an ouzo before heading out to explore the city.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra lemon juice on your mezze platter to cut through the rich olive oil and feta.
- Order the kleftiko early in the evening as the slow-cooked lamb sells out quickly.
- Try the local Saint-Gilles beer with your grilled octopus to balance the salty flavors.
