Akai Brussels: Rooftop Dining & the Best Cocktail Bar in Town

When you think of rooftops in Brussels, one place rises above the rest — literally. Perched on the 30th floor of the Cardo Hotel, Akai Brussels is more than just a restaurant: it’s a rooftop cocktail bar with breathtaking skyline views, refined Japanese-Mediterranean cuisine, and some of the best cocktails in Brussels.

A Rooftop Experience Above Brussels

Akai offers an atmosphere unlike any other in the city. From sunset to late night, guests can enjoy dinner, afterwork drinks, or celebrations with the panoramic skyline stretching over Place Rogier, the Belfius Tower, and beyond. The combination of height, design, and music makes Akai the ultimate rooftop Brussels destination.

Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

Akai is not just about dining — it’s also a cocktail bar where creativity meets craftsmanship. Our bartenders work with fresh ingredients, premium spirits, and Japanese-Mediterranean inspiration to create cocktails that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Whether you’re here for dinner or just drinks, Akai is a true restaurant and cocktail bar in Brussels.

Our Signature Cocktails: The Art of Fusion

From timeless martinis to inventive creations, Akai’s cocktail list is designed to surprise and delight. Here are just a few highlights:

• Pornstar Martini – vodka, passionfruit, vanilla, prosecco: indulgent and bold.
• Basil Smash – gin, basil leaves, lemon: aromatic, fresh, unforgettable.
• Clover Club – gin, raspberries, lemon, egg white: delicate and silky.
• Cucumber Martini – vodka, cucumber, lemon: crisp and refreshing.
• Akai Martini (mocktail) – pineapple, passionfruit, vanilla, lemon: zero alcohol, full flavor.

Each cocktail is prepared with precision and presented with style, making Akai a must for anyone searching for the best cocktails in Brussels.

Why Akai Stands Out

• Rooftop views: A unique 30th-floor setting above Brussels.
• Best cocktails: Signature drinks blending Japanese precision with Mediterranean flair.
• Atmosphere: DJs from Thursday to Saturday energize the night.
• Hospitality: Service inspired by the Mediterranean way — casual, warm, and welcoming.
