Odette is in town, Châtelain area of Brussels

The Châtelain area of Brussels, near Avenue Louise, is a trendy part of the city. It has a good number of bars and restaurants. They are above all patronised by younger professionals, some of them with deep pockets, others with just enough money for a nice drink and some food with the rest of the gang.

A recent addition to the offer is "Odette en ville", with a great food list, at reasonable prices for the type of establishment, a nice bar and lounge - good for an afternoon tea, as I did yesterday - and about seven nice rooms. The rooms make it a boutique hotel. The room prices range from 220 to 380 Euros a night, breakfast not included. That's on the high side of things. But they are great, as the pictures show. 

The wine list offers a large choice of rather expensive wines. But one can order a nice bottle of Douro 4 U 2015 wine. They charge 28 Euros for such Portuguese wine. For white wine, one has to be prepared to pay a higher price. It is a pity they do not offer the option of house wines. 

The staff is young and pleasant. I can't complain about the service either.

I certainly will visit again. I am very tempted by the menu list, with lunch during the week starting at 28 Euros for a two-course meal.
