Hispania brings the bold, punchy flavors of Spain to Brussels' Grand Sablon, helmed by Marcos Morán (Michelin-starred Casa Gerardo). It's smart and contemporary but keeps things grounded—think big-boned Galician veal with foie gras, authentic rice dishes, and tapas that actually taste like Spain. Service can drag a bit at peak times, and yes, it's pricey, but the flavors are worth the splurge if you're craving real Iberian cooking without the tourist trap vibe.
Bold Spanish Flavors in a Polished Setting
Hispania is a standout for Spanish cuisine in Brussels, offering a refined take on traditional flavors without feeling pretentious. The menu, curated by Marcos Morán of the Michelin-starred Casa Gerardo, delivers bold, memorable dishes—especially the Galician veal cooked rare with foie gras and a potato-truffle espuma that lingers long after the last bite. The space is sleek and modern, with distinct zones like the Brasserie and VIP Room catering to different moods.
Service is generally warm and attentive, though it can slow down toward the end of a busy dinner. Prices are on the higher side, reflecting the quality of ingredients and the chef's pedigree, but portions are generous enough to share. If you're looking for authentic Spanish flavors in a polished setting, Hispania delivers—just be prepared for a leisurely pace and a bill that matches the experience.
