Call for applications: takeover of Entropy Restaurant

As part of its strategic evolution, Entropy Restaurant is launching a call for applications for the takeover of its business (fonds de commerce) starting summer 2026 — with a possible extension to late 2026 under certain conditions.

Located in the heart of Brussels, on Place Saint-Géry, this established venue represents a rare opportunity to take over a structured and operational restaurant with strong development potential.
