Kamo

Kamo is widely regarded as the finest Japanese restaurant in Belgium, holding a Michelin star and earning the devotion of Brussels food lovers since it opened in its current Chaussée de Waterloo location. Chef and owner Tomoyasu Kamo, formerly of the acclaimed restaurant Tagawa in Tokyo, runs a tight, intimate operation where every detail of the dining experience reflects his uncompromising dedication to quality and authenticity. The restaurant’s counter seating allows guests to watch the chef work with remarkable precision, crafting sashimi of extraordinary freshness and flavour. The sashimi of the day is a perennial standout, transforming seemingly simple raw fish into something deeply sublime through impeccable sourcing and knife technique. Lunch traditionally features made-to-order sushi and bento boxes, while the evenings give Chef Kamo room to present surprise tasting menus that explore the full breadth of Japanese culinary tradition, from delicate raw preparations to expertly cooked seasonal fish and vegetable dishes. The wine and sake selection is thoughtfully chosen to complement the food, with particular attention to natural wines. Kamo’s understated, contemporary interior and genuinely attentive service make it one of the most memorable dining experiences in Brussels.
