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.
