Bautier
Bautier is a small and cute café in Brussels-Forest. Settled on the ground floor of the Bautier furniture store, it’s a calm hideaway where you can enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast, a light lunch, or afternoon tea. The menu is simple, seasonal and vegetarian, with English scones for breakfast, focaccia sandwiches with various fillings for lunch, wholesome stews and salads depending on the season, and a rotating selection of cakes. Most ingredients are locally sourced, organic, and always in season. Everything is cooked and baked in-house, including their pastries and sourdough focaccia bread. You can eat in or take away, and there’s also a selection of bakes and pantry items available to buy—think biscotti, cookies, granola, and focaccia croutons, alongside delicious jams, coffee, and vinegar from their trusted suppliers. The interior is simple and calming, with neutral tones and natural materials. The space feels intimate and homey, and they also have a cute terrace where you can sit outside when the weather’s nice. Café Bautier is the perfect spot to slow down and enjoy good food in a cozy, relaxed setting. Prices for breakfast dishes are between €6 and €8. Prices for lunch dishes are between €10 and €16.
