Abstract: This article will examine the potential of the Belgian social restaurants as a type of social enterprise for poverty reduction. A case study will be analyzed according to five factors relevant to poverty reduction using interview and survey data. It shows how the most direct contribution lies in social employment, while creating more indirect opportunities to counter social inclusion.
