Schaerbeek's best-kept lunch secret
If you work or live anywhere near Avenue Gustave Latinis, Chez Chris is probably already on your radar — and if it isn't, fix that immediately. This is a proper neighborhood sandwicherie in the best sense of the word: no frills, no pretension, just seriously good sandwiches made with fresh ingredients and a smile. The variety on offer is impressive for a place this size, and regulars rave about coming back for years without ever getting bored of the menu.
The service is genuinely friendly in that way that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Multiple reviewers mention leaving with a smile, and one even wrote that if you're having a bad day, a stop here will turn it around. That tells you something about the place beyond the food — it's got heart.
At €1–10 per person, you're getting excellent value. The soups and salads round out the menu nicely if you want something lighter. It's a lunch spot, pure and simple — don't expect a sit-down dinner experience. But for what it is, it's hard to beat in Schaerbeek.
