Belgian restaurants specializing in mussels Belgium

The brasserie is ideally located on Tournai's Grand Place - what a view! The menu is traditional, with mussels in season, suggestions, grills and simple dishes at low prices, such as rabbit with prunes and grapes or American tartar (with fries and salad), in a charming renovated setting or on the terrace. Wide choice of salads. Be careful not to let your eyes get too big for your stomach, as the waiters will be happy to remind you! You can eat here at any time, accompanied by a good local beer such as Abbaye de Saint-Martin.

On the plate, Belgium is in the spotlight! It's not so much about great food as about authenticity, and we're really looking forward to tasting one of the last places where the chips are homemade and the mussels are available in 30 different ways. On the walls... everything that makes us Belgian, from the royal family to Manneken-Pis, Jacques Brel, Eddy Merckx and old views of the capital. The dishes are generous in quantity and one forgets very quickly the hubbub which reigns in a room almost full every evening.

Another great place to eat! This is the other restaurant of Stockis, the former owner of the famous Chez Lequet in Liège. His sister Marie is at the helm. The atmosphere is identical and the meatballs are just as good... It's said to be one of the best places to prepare goose, just like Visé. Mussel lovers are not to be outdone... and the fries are delicious! In Visé, Stockis has succeeded in imposing a "bon franquette" Liège atmosphere, with no fuss or muss! Le Petit Futé approves.

For over half a century, Bouboule has been the king of Moules! Offering only the best quality, Bouboule has forged a solid reputation well beyond the city limits of Dinant. The menu features no fewer than 35 mussel specialties (1.2 kg, served with fries), as well as classic suggestions for fish, meat and stews. The view over the Meuse is breathtaking. If you're booked up, the "Bouboule chez soi" option lets you take the pans home with you, including (super-simple) instructions for use!

With its tired mirrors, murals and weathered woodwork, the Cochaux brewery exudes an atmosphere that is half Art Nouveau, half old-fashioned. The regulars come back and the faithful stay, a guarantee of quality and authenticity. For those with small appetites, the menu offers a choice of omelettes and salads. It's good, it's prepared with fresh products and it's a bit expensive for a classic cuisine. But it's close to a zero-fault menu... To shine in the evening, tell them that Felix Cochaux was an engineer and invented a new type of drag boat.

Installed since 1988 in the small town of Bouillon, this restaurant welcomes you in a marine setting. His specialty? Fried mussels! 35 different preparations are proposed à la carte to delight the taste buds. Antonio Ramirez, the boss, has been able to build customer loyalty over the years; thanks to his know-how, his welcome and the quality of his products. The portions are generous. Other Ardennes speciality dishes are also available à la carte for those who are in a group with mussel phobias. Friendly staff and terrace.

The institution in the district of Saint-Amandsberg, close to the Saint-Bavon Abbey, has a huge terrace. We linger there to have a drink or eat an extraordinary waterzooi. The house guarantees that all products are fresh of the day! In season, we run there mainly for mussels, the other house specialty. Mussel season? From July to Easter, pretty much! The house is over fifty years old and serves the many local beers as they should be. The right address to taste the local specialities in this area.
