Victor overwint de tijd.
Een gebouw dat bijna 100 jaar later een beschermd monument is en dat weer helemaal in volle glorie herschapen werd door andere klinkende namen, dat mag zichzelf wel een winnaar noemen, toch?

VICTOR Bozar Café
A world of art, architecture and bistronomy
VICTOR is a meeting place in the Belgian capital, a haven of peace amid the bustle. Visitors to an exhibition or a performance at the Bozar Fine Arts Centre as well as chance passers-by stop here for coffee, a healthy lunch or a simple meal.
Artistic room
Hand-embroidered curtains and a work of art by Valerie Mannaerts screen off part of the café for events or special occasions. The three superb curtains certainly catch the eye while the area behind them contrasts vividly with the café as a whole.
If you would like to use this space for a private function, please contact our events manager to discuss the possibilities. Meeting facilities are not available. The space is, however, suitable for receptions or meals for small groups.
Architecture
Architects Robbrecht & Daem undertook the conversion of the former Bozar bookshop into a café-restaurant. These leading architects are accustomed to working in a historical context. They see the restrictions specific to a protected monument as an asset rather than a limitation. Like Victor Horta, Robbrecht & Daem believe that architecture and interior design are closely linked.
Paul Robbrecht created a distinctive microcosm in the modest surroundings of a café to offer visitors a total experience. This original universe is reflected almost literally in the use of various circles in the interior: round chandeliers designed especially for Victor, round mirrors and granito circles on the floor, symbolising a planetarium of sunrises and sunsets.
The dark green of the granito and the leather bench seats refers back to the green linoleum and granito that Horta himself integrated into the building.
Even the tables are real works of art: a stylised musical instrument has been engraved in brass on each surface.
