This is not the average Belgian restaurant which you find close to a motorway interchange, this is the real deal where it all started. Great for mussles & fries, but service's quality is a bit random.

A restaurant I recommend so much I have their menu at home. Great Belgian experience, excellent cooking, no tourist trap (except if you order water: 10€ for 1L!)

Drinks & Nightlife
The crowd sees the Manneken Pis. Locals get a drink at the bar with the most unpronounceable name in history. It could not be a marketing stunt. Good service and ambiance, very wide beer selection.

All touristic guides will mention the Delirium. It is worth a detour for the Guinness Record of number of beers available. It is not IMHO a real Belgian beer bar, but great to hang out with friends.
