About Old Boy

Old Boy is worth booking when the meal needs to feel more considered than a casual Ixelles fallback. The Michelin Guide Belgium & Luxembourg 2026 Plate gives it a credible quality signal, the schedule works for both lunch and dinner on most open days. Choose it for a date, small celebration, or business meal; pick Lune Siamoise or Maru instead when the group wants a clearer Thai or Korean brief.

Is Old Boy in Ixelles worth booking for a planned meal? It can be, especially if you want a restaurant with a confirmed Michelin Guide Belgium & Luxembourg 2026 Plate mention and a smart-casual dress code. The most reliable way to plan around it is to use the verified opening pattern: dinner is available Monday through Saturday, lunch is available Tuesday through Saturday, Sunday is closed.

The useful way to think about Old Boy is practical rather than speculative. The confirmed facts do not establish a specific cuisine, chef, menu format, price point, room size, or service style, so it is better to judge the booking on verified recognition, location, dress code, hours. The Michelin Plate is a credible guide signal, though it should not be confused with a Michelin star.

A stronger choice for a planned dinner than a casual fallback

For a first-timer, the main reason to consider Old Boy is confidence: it has confirmed Michelin Guide Belgium & Luxembourg 2026 Plate recognition, its evening service runs six nights a week. Because the exact cuisine and menu format are not verified here, the safer planning approach is to treat it as an Ixelles restaurant to book deliberately rather than as a place chosen for one specific dish or format.

If you are comparing options, keep the choice simple. Old Boy makes sense when Michelin Guide recognition and an Ixelles setting matter to the plan. If you are still deciding between other restaurants, you may also want to look at Lune Siamoise or Maru as separate possibilities, depending on what kind of evening you want.

Use Ixelles context to decide if it fits the night

For readers comparing across the area, start with the purpose of the booking and the schedule. Old Boy is in Ixelles, has a smart-casual dress code, is recognized with a Michelin Guide Belgium & Luxembourg 2026 Plate. For a wider scan before committing, use the full Ixelles restaurants guide.

The practical call: choose from the verified hours. Monday is dinner only, Tuesday through Saturday offer lunch and dinner, Sunday is closed. Lunch runs from 12–2:30 PM on Tuesday through Saturday, while dinner runs from 6:30–10:30 PM Monday through Saturday.
