Rue Vanderkindere 356, 1180, Uccle

What’s good? The confit eggplant was a serious highlight. Sitting in a pool of fragrant, bright red tomato sauce with a generous dollop of feta mousse, you’ll want to have extra bread on hand to soak up all the flavor. The comté and potato flatbread with béchamel sauce, topped with onions, was deliciously cozy and creamy, while not too heavy.

What’s not? The Belgian endive salad with radicchio and daikon had the potential to be bright and fresh, but instead was bitter and lacking in vinaigrette.

Vibe: The interior is relaxed and sophisticated — and bathed in deeply stained wood. The sun-soaked terrace that wrapped around the entire restaurant was filled to the brim with well-dressed people of all ages. And the jazzy, funky sounds emanating from the built-in record mixing table at the back of the restaurant made everything taste a bit sweeter.

Who’s picking up the check? At about €30 per person (including a glass of wine), you’re set for the perfect, light summertime dinner. The plates and flatbreads run around €11 to €15, so get two of each to share.

Spotted: About 10 different small dogs — from dachshunds to miniature poodles to terriers — enjoying the evening at the feet of their chic owners.

Insider tip: Use the ridiculously giant scissors in the cutlery jar on the table to slice up your flatbread, or risk sawing away at the tough crust with your butter knife for a few frustrating minutes.

Fun fact: According to our server, the DJ in charge of Boaboa’s music orders 30 to 50 records per week to switch up the selection.

How to get there: Take Bus 60 in the Uccle Calevoet direction to the stop Clinique Edith Cavell. Boaboa is a minute away on foot.
