Bistronomic Restaurant & Hotel in Watermael-Boitsfort | Sonian Forest
Founded in 1683, Au Repos des Chasseurs has been an iconic restaurant in Brussels for many years.
Nestled on the edge of the Sonian Forest in Watermael Boitsfort, this historic establishment, completely renovated by its new owner in 2025, now combines authentic charm with contemporary elegance.
Its bistronomic brasserie (90 seats), its separate meat grill area for your comfort (50 seats), its hotel (11 rooms), lush terrace (110 seats), and its 5 banquet rooms offer a unique gastronomic and festive experience between nature and refinement — just 15 minutes from the center of Brussels en from Brussels National Airport.
Its private terrace opens up to a soothing green oasis as soon as the first beautiful days of the year arrive — far from the hustle and bustle of Brussels, just steps from the center. It is the ideal setting for an outdoor business lunch, a business dinner, an after-work drink with colleagues, or a romantic moment at sunset, combining forest serenity with comfort.
Good news! We remain easily accessible during the work on the Tenreuken buffer basin.
A stormwater basin construction project will start on Tenreuken Street on May 18, 2026. Charle-Albert Avenue will remain open, and our parking lot is still available — we welcome you as usual. More info
