The Brasserie

At the heart of the brasserie stands a work by Belgian designer and architect Charles Kaisin, whose installation engages in dialogue with the architecture of the space and the energy of the dining room.

Known for creations where movement, architecture and poetry intersect, Charles Kaisin’s vision naturally aligns with the spirit of Auguste: a place where contemporary creation accompanies the art of hospitality.

Here, gastronomy is experienced as a celebration. The ingredients are respected, the techniques precise, the flavors bold. Each dish tells the story of a living tradition, balancing heritage and modernity. In this way, heritage and creation respond to one another. Ancient stone converses with a contemporary perspective.

At Brasserie Auguste, every table becomes a stage. Every encounter, a celebration.

More than a brasserie, Auguste is a place of belonging - for the people of Brussels, for travelers from around the world, and for all those seeking a table where elegance meets the joy of living. Brasserie Auguste was created to endure. To become part of the city’s memory and, over time, an iconic address in Brussels.
