Our story

A family restaurant in Brussels since 1982. It began with two tables in a small lane near the Grand-Place.

  1. 1982

    1982, The opening

    Rue de la Fourche

    It all began in a small lane near the Grand-Place of Brussels.

    Hellas was a small shop with only two tables. Most customers took their food away.

  2. 1986

    1986, The move

    Rue du Marché aux Fromages

    The restaurant moves to Rue du Marché aux Fromages 4, 1000 Brussels, to offer its customers more seats.

    Back then, cars could still drive and park in the street.
