Description:

  • Despite being on the square that is the focus of tourism in Brussels, this is far from being a tourist trap. As many Bruxellois as tourists throng the long wooden tables in a 17th-century, brick-arched cellar, and all are welcomed with time-honored respect, even if that should be perceived as being a little rough and ready. Memorable traditional Belgian fare, with little in the way of frills, is served up from an open kitchen. This is a great place to try local specialties such as bloedpens (blood sausage) a la Bruxelloise, stoemp (mashed potato and vegetable) with boudin (sausage) -- owner Jef De Gelas is renowned locally as the "King of Stoemp" -- carbonnades à la flamande (Flemish beef stew), lapin à la gueuze (rabbit in Brussels beer), and big, steaming pans piled high with Zeeland mussels.
