Restaurant Privatization in Brussels: How Much Does It Cost in 2026?

Different Pricing Models

When it comes to privatizing a restaurant in Brussels, there are mainly three pricing models:

1. Fixed Fee

You pay a fixed amount for the room, regardless of what you consume. Drinks and food are extra. This is the most common model in large restaurants.

Average price in Brussels: €500 to €2000 for the room alone.

2. Minimum Spending

No room fees, but you must reach a minimum amount on food and drinks. This is often the most advantageous model: everything you spend counts.

Average price in Brussels: €250 to €1500 minimum depending on size and standing.

3. Fixed Menu Per Person

A per-head price that includes the meal and sometimes drinks. Simple to budget, but less flexible.

Average price in Brussels: €35 to €100 per person.

Price Comparison: Concrete Examples

Here's what you can expect depending on your event size:

Small Event (10 people)

At Croix100 Louise, a 10-person event costs approximately €125-250 all-inclusive (spending + any fixed fees).

Medium Event (25 people)

Large Event (40 people)

Hidden Fees to Watch Out For

Be careful with add-ons that can increase the bill:

Cleaning: Some restaurants charge €50-150 in cleaning fees after the event.

Overtime: Beyond the scheduled time, count €50-100 per hour.

Decoration: If you want special staging, it's often extra.

Service: Some restaurants add 10-15% service on top.

At Croix100, the policy is transparent: a minimum spending amount (€250 Louise / €400 Gare Centrale) and fixed fees only if spending is below a certain threshold. No surprises on the bill.

How to Get the Best Price?

Book during the week: Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are often cheaper or more negotiable.

Book early: The more you plan ahead, the more room you have to negotiate.

Negotiate on drinks: This is often where restaurants have the highest margins.

Get multiple quotes: Compare at least 3 restaurants before deciding.
