Mussel stew with french fries are the national dish in Belgium. You can eat a lot more, of course.The price of a meal in a restaurant is around 30EUR (dish, drink), three times more than my home country.You have also junk food (cheaper) and ethnic food (a tad more expensive). Waterooi
This restaurant is situated in the original baroque-style banqueting rooms of a former hotel. Enjoy a romantic diner animated by the piano, try delicious French, Dutch & Belgian cuisine, atmosphere very cosy,and very high quality food;The piano maestro- Bachot Muna, is also a singer and composer, with soft and sensual voice.
Pupiter stands for "writing - desk" and this restaurant is well decorated with "antique" furniture i remember from the earlies !The environment is a relaxing one - The bar excuisite, the food excellentThe map of the alphabeth (ABC) is a good remembrance of my school periodThe President of the US maybe misunderstood his lessons and interpreted it always as "Atomic, Biological and Chemical" beligerent The Tour de Flanders menu :- Serrano ham with scampis ( Ganda Ham is better ! ) - A Salsa of Asparagus and peas/belgian endive- Dragged lamb with carrots- Sabayon with honeycream- Black coffee and belgian cookies- And as final : a kiss from the waitress
Was told that this is one of the famous reastaurent in Belgium. Enjoyed the food and beer.I was told tat there are over 300 kinds of beer in Belgium,,no kidding! I m not a fancy for beer :PClassy interior,nice ambience very crowded though. They serve western and seafood too.
We have dined in this old restaurant almost everytime we visited Antwerpen and have never been disappointed. An old house on Hendrik Conscienceplein street in the old town with small tables in a tiny place (and low ceiling on the first floor). Very tasty and rich food, simple but nice serving, affordable prices. Find it and try the food. You not gonna regret!
In a lot of places in Belgium you can find a Café Leffe. I've been to several already and you simply can't go wrong. The food, mostly typical Belgian, is really good and you can enjoy it in a nice atmosphere and with a good Leffe beer (or any other drink of course). Just to say: you simply can't go wrong with going to a Café Leffe. I don't know if this list is complete, but you have a Café Leffe in: Blankenberge (Kerkstraat 26), Brugge ('t Zand 5), Brussels (Grote Zavel 46), Charleroi (Boulevard Joseph Tirou 73), Diest (Grote Markt 24), Eeklo (Markt 2), Gent (Botermarkt 11), Knokke (Zeedijk 564), Kortrijk (Grote Markt 3), Leuven (Bondgenotenlaan 20A), Oostende (Wapenplein 10), Turnhout (Grote Markt 72) and Dinant (Rue Sax 2). One of my favourites is Flemish 'carbonnades', prepared with Leffe beer.
Mussels and fries are arguably the favourite Belgian delicacy with tourists. Actually, the mussels are brought from the Dutch province of Zeeland and only available in Autumn and Winter (months with an "R"). They are small in size and not very savoury by themselves, so they are always accompanied by some kind of broth. Sometimes they may have an unpleasant leathery consistence. They are served in almost every brasserie with traditional Belgian fare and there are tenths of different ways to prepare them. Of them, the most popular is called à la marinière, i. e. with a white wine based sauce, shallots and parsley. Celery, leek, garlic, cream, beer and many other ingredients may be added to the concoction. They are served in a large pot accompanied with fries and mayonnaise, which do not really match the flavours, but that is the way it is.
Gent - July 2006 - upon my way to the famous "Gentsche Fieste" and coming in from Gent train Station (Gent St-Pieters) : it is a good idea to strenghten the internal human body by good food. Good food and excellent payable wines : this is what you will find here. Not only good wines, but also the famous belgian beer, called "Duvel" or "Leffe"What makes this Bistro so special ? Definately the teracces near the river. Some cool wind in one of the hottest summer periods in Belgium since 2003.A look at the boats passing by - the food - the drinks, the company : just a perfect day to start and going into the "Fieste" As a starter some fresh classical Salmon - and than "Mussles a la maison"The mussles were from Greece origin, small but delicious
Leuven: La Cantina del Coronel, Parijsstraat (South American food)Thai House, Tiensestraat (Thai food)Himalaya Indian Cuisine, Diestsevest (train station)Hasselt:De Gulden Put (Great service and great food)TaratataRestaurant 12-20Entrepot (my favourite for French dining, set in restored warehouse)Of course these are just a few suggestions of two cities I lived in.
Belgian people like good food and so we often go out for dinner. This results in a huge amount of restaurants in our country.We've got very expensive ones : Karmeliet in Brugge, Clos st Denis in Kortessem, Saint Paul in Lummen , Sir Anthony van Dyck in Antwerp, Comme chez Soi in Brussels,...And also cheap but good ones : Blue Olive in Hasselt , De pelgrim in Tongeren, A ton avis in Brussels, De varkenspoot in Antwerp, ....On my pages about the Belgian cities you'll find many good restaurants I already have been to. I can recommand every one off them. But if you're looking for more info you can look on the website of the Belgian restaurants ( www.resto.be)you're in good hands in most Belgian restaurants. Smakelijk - Bon appetit The Belgian kitchen is very good. We have a lot off influences from other countries nowadays, but we mix it with our own traditional food. Some of the more...
