About the Vibe
Flamme is a lively gastro-bistro in Saint-Gilles where fire is the star of the show. The open kitchen lets you watch as vegetables, meats, and seafood are smoked, roasted, and grilled right before your eyes. The menu is short but bold, with a strong focus on vegetables prepared in unexpected ways—think celeriac roasted like shoarma or oyster mushrooms cooked over open flame.

Fire-Driven Bistro with Bold Vegetable Focus
Flamme brings an energetic, fire-centric approach to Saint-Gilles dining. The open kitchen is the heart of the action, where you can watch the chef smoke, roast, and grill everything from meats to vegetables. The menu is intentionally brief, but each dish is packed with flavor. Standouts include the celeriac roasted like shoarma with pitta spices and garlic sauce, and the open-fire cooked oyster mushrooms with enoki tempura and marinated vegetables. The wine selection is equally thoughtful, with the hostess always ready to recommend a perfect pairing.
The atmosphere is buzzing but not overwhelming, with a clear focus on quality ingredients and creative preparation. Service is friendly and knowledgeable, happy to guide you through the short menu. It's a place that rewards adventurous eaters and those who appreciate the art of fire cooking. While the portions might be on the smaller side, the intensity of flavors makes up for it. Book ahead—this spot fills up quickly for good reason.
