Frank is your go-to for seriously good Australian-style brunch in the heart of Brussels, right next to the Opera. You'll find a slightly chilly but charming Art Deco space where everything's made from scratch with a focus on sustainable, veg-forward ingredients. The coffee is top-tier (thanks to ex-OR Etterbeek barista Marianne Renders) and the menu delivers generous portions that feel like a proper weekend treat without the pretension.
Solid brunch with serious coffee chops
Frank has carved out a solid niche in Brussels' brunch scene with its Australian-inspired approach and serious commitment to quality. The space itself is a bit chilly but has character thanks to the Art Deco glass roof, and you'll notice the attention to detail in everything from the Marzocco espresso machine to the house-made English muffins. The poached eggs on those muffins with siphoned hollandaise and smoked salmon are a standout, as is the sourdough topped with Malines chicken in soy-lemon marinade—simple but executed with care.
What sets Frank apart is the consistency and the local focus. Everything's made from scratch, they source sustainably, and the staff clearly care about what they're serving. It's not the fanciest spot in town, but that's part of its charm—you're here for the food and coffee, not the atmosphere. The weekend brunch menu hits the sweet spot between indulgent and healthy, and the prices are reasonable for what you get.
If you're looking for a reliable brunch spot that doesn't try too hard, Frank delivers. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait on weekends, and note that they don't split bills on weekends—a small inconvenience for a quality meal.
