We have nostalgic memories of Brussels.
After all, we were stuck here at the beginning of the pandemic for close to seven weeks. It became like a second home of sorts. We got to know neighborhood restaurants, and even be-friended some of the families running those restaurants.
Bozar was by far our most memorable meal during that period.
Bryan fell in love with the signature pithivier that Bozar makes, and I just loved Chef’s overall approach to food and his obsession with quality.
Since our first visit, Bozar has attained another Michelin star now holding two stars total.
To be honest, I’ve always thought it’s quality was excellent and fully deserving of two stars. So I’m really glad Chef Karen Torosyan is finally getting the recognition that he deserves.
The menu does not include Chef's classic, signature pithivier anymore (the one filled with duck, foie gras, and mirepoix). However, Bryan called in advance, and they confirmed that they could still make the classic version.
Yay! We decided to relive our memories from our previous visits once again during our visit to Brussels just this past March (2024).
We love this place. I highly recommend Bozar if you want to have a really thoughtfully designed and executed meal. Even if you don't get the classic, you can still enjoy a croute as part of the tasting menu.
Classic Tasting Menu with Pithivier
The last two times we came, the restaurant gave us a keychain to commemorate the number of pithivier that we ate. We'd eaten 221 the first time and 319 the second time. Alas, they told us they don't give away key chains anymore.
I'll treasure the other two that I already have. At least they are still willing to make the pithivier! Thank you Chef Torosyan and the entire team!
