Brasserie Miroir

At Place Reine Astrid in Jette, Brasserie Miroir is more than a Belgian dining room with beer on the menu: it has a documented brewpub past. Its brewing installation once stood at the heart of the establishment, producing house beer before renovations put brewing on hold. The place’s identity is rooted in the Miroir district and in the convivial, neighborhood tradition of Brussels brasseries. A brewpub in the middle of Jette A 2005 account describes two brewing kettles prominently installed in Le Miroir and notes that the establishment had brewed its own beer for a period. Brewing had stopped because of works, but the equipment remained in the cellar and the owner left open the possibility of producing Jette-brewed beer again. This supports Brasserie Miroir as a historic brewpub, not merely a restaurant serving Belgian beer. A local name with a local address The brewery-brasserie takes its name from the Miroir district and Place Reine Astrid, a long-established meeting point in Jette. The current official site presents Miroir as a traditional brasserie in Jette, preserving the connection between the venue, its neighborhood, and the Belgian brasserie culture that shaped its brewing identity. Brasserie Miroir’s defining character is its rare blend of neighborhood brasserie tradition and documented in-house brewing.
