Kamo

Kamo is a slice of Tokyo in the heart of Ixelles. The decor is pared back and contemporary, with wooden finishings providing a distinctive touch. From the bar you can witness chef Kamo's meticulous artistry firsthand. Once you are seated, he serves you an amuse-bouche to cleanse your palate. Then you are all set to experience the finesse of Japanese culinary tradition. Chef Kamo's seemingly effortless dishes showcase the extraordinary quality and freshness of his ingredients. He does not rely on luxury produce to wow his diners. The sashimi of the day is a classic for a reason: it's amazing how pieces of raw fish can be transformed into something so sublime – the epitome of unadorned simplicity! Lunch is slightly more traditional and includes made-to-order sushi. In the evenings, the chef pulls out all the stops with surprise tasting menus. Kamo's sheer subtlety is a celebration of the versatility of Japanese cuisine.
