The story

Colonel Fort Jaco | Brussels' Michelin-Recommended Steakhouse in Uccle

A Meat Lover's Haven in a Green Setting

Colonel Fort Jaco is the second address from the Colonel group, a Maison built on a deep passion for meat culture. Located in the calm, leafy Fort Jaco neighbourhood of Uccle, south of Brussels, this restaurant offers a more tranquil contrast to its urban sibling, Colonel Louise. Here, the focus is squarely on quality beef and the craft of grilling.

The restaurant’s approach is grounded in a simple philosophy: love for the product and respect for technique. The kitchen works with “Colonel Sélection” aged meats, premium cuts from carefully chosen breeds, and a dedication to maturing that enhances flavour and tenderness. Guests can choose their cut from a dedicated butcher counter, guided by the team's expertise, or order from a menu built around these best-sellers.

Michelin-Recommended Excellence

Colonel Fort Jaco’s commitment to quality has not gone unnoticed. The restaurant holds a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, a recognition that speaks to its consistent execution and the integrity of its ingredients. This is not a place for fussy presentation; it is a restaurant that lets the meat speak for itself, cooked over fire with precision and served in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The space itself reflects this ethos—airy and inviting, with outdoor seating that makes the most of its verdant surroundings. Counter dining offers a front-row view of the action, while the air-conditioned interior ensures comfort year-round. The restaurant is also wheelchair accessible and offers a takeaway service, allowing guests to bring the Colonel experience home with prepared dishes, their famous Nanou chicken, and desserts.

A Culture of Fire and Flavour

Beyond the steaks, Colonel Fort Jaco embodies a broader meat culture. The team’s expertise extends to charcuterie boards, prime cuts to cook at home, and carefully prepared sides. The atmosphere is convivial and unpretentious—a place where sharing a meal feels both special and relaxed.

For those seeking an exceptional steak in Brussels, Colonel Fort Jaco delivers with confidence, skill, and a clear love for the craft.
