Sinamisu

Sinamisu: a tiramisu paradise in the heart of Brussels

There are discoveries that instantly put you in a good mood. Sinamisu is one of them.

In the heart of the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, I discovered a place entirely dedicated to one of the most beloved Italian desserts: tiramisu. A warm setting, a passionate team, and, above all, absolutely delicious creations.

But behind these lovely boxes and generous layers of mascarpone, there is also a genuine story.

From Sina Pasta to the House of Tiramisu

Sinamisu was born out of the team behind Sina, already well known in Brussels for its fresh artisanal pasta and dedication to Italian cuisine. After mastering savoury dishes, the team decided to dedicate an entire address to dessert.

The first Sinamisu counter opened in the Galerie du Roi, within the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert. Here, tiramisu is not merely offered at the end of a meal: it is the very reason for the visit.

This transition from fresh pasta to mascarpone tells the same story: taking inspiration from a great Italian classic, respecting its soul, and bringing it to life with creativity.

Nonna's classic recipe

The classic tiramisu holds a special place at Sinamisu. It is inspired by nonna's family recipe, passed down with that appreciation for simple and generous flavours that characterizes Italian cuisine so well.

One detail is worth mentioning: Sinamisu's tiramisus contain no alcohol. In the traditional recipe, there is none. Coffee, mascarpone, and cocoa find their balance without adding alcohol. Do you know who added alcohol to this recipe? The French did.

Eight ways to rediscover tiramisu

Alongside the classic coffee and cocoa version, Sinamisu crafts tiramisu into several creations. Pistachio, hazelnut-praline, speculoos, stracciatella, red berries, lemon-basil, or even a version inspired by the Liège waffle: the menu brings Italian flavours into dialogue with nods to Belgium.

I was particularly captivated by the variety of textures and the care given to every presentation. The richness of the mascarpone is always there, but each flavour has its own distinct personality.

Lemon-basil brings freshness. Pistachio and hazelnut-praline offer pure indulgence. Speculoos and waffle recall Brussels and Belgium. Everyone can find their favourite.

An experience to enjoy in the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert

The setting is an integral part of the experience. Located under the historic glass roof of the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, Sinamisu offers a gourmet break in the centre of Brussels, just steps away from the Grand-Place.

You can watch the team's meticulous work and explore the different creations before making your choice. The hardest part is undoubtedly choosing just one.

Projects to look forward to

This first visit also gave me a glimpse of the team's energy and ambitions. Several projects are currently in preparation.

I won't reveal any more today, but I will tell you about them soon.

In the meantime, if you love tiramisu, artisanal recipes, and fresh concepts that bring Brussels to life, Sinamisu is truly worth a visit.
