LA FRITERIE DU COUVENT
Read moreThis friterie in the heart of Waterloo fulfills owner Olivier De Beys's childhood dream of offering crispy fries cooked in beef fat in two fries, true to Belgian tradition. In addition to the fries, Olivier will have you salivating with great classic friteries (including the famous fricadelle, viandelle, bicky, meatballs...), 100% pure beef burgers, and a selection of nearly 30 sauces to satisfy every palate. A must for lovers of real Belgian fries in Waterloo.
FRITERIE CHEZ CLÉMENTINE
Read moreServed in cones (better, say the purists!) or in packets, but always in generous quantities, the chips of Clem' are to be enjoyed on the "terrace" offered by the place Saint-Job. Nice service, at any time of the day or night, but not always very fast... Clem' (Clémentine) is none other than the daughter of the founder of the famous Antoine's house and her chip shop is self-certified with an "eco-responsible" label, which is applied to all the production stages. For those who are grumpy, this does not change the taste of the fries!
NOISETTE
Read moreTaking the place of the former Cuitcuit, Noisette is a friendly little address in a dynamic area of Uccle. Open early in the morning for breakfast (an opportunity to get your caffeine fix from the Corica coffee roaster), the establishment also offers sandwiches, quiches and healthy dishes at lunchtime, as well as something for a little gourmet break at snack time. At weekends, Noisette welcomes you for a delicious brunch. It's best to book in advance.
LA MAMMA
Read morePepino Capezzuto and his wife run this trattoria smoothly. Between the European quarter and Madou square, this 42 year old Mamma keeps a thunderous punch! At the same time osteria, bottega (shop), oenoteca, grapperia and Prosecco bar! There is no menu here, just a list of suggestions that combine Italian traditions and creativity. All the pasta, meats and cold cuts come directly from Italy. Pepino baits you by explaining them. Happy will be the lover of Italian gastronomy in this warm and familial setting.

BAR DU GASPI
Read moreXavier Winkel and his son have reopened the establishment, which was closed for fourteen years: a real cultural bistro-resto with personality and a warm decor (exposed bricks and a beautiful silk paper light on the ceiling). The menu is in the same tone and plays up the quality dishes under the leadership of chef Michel Fabry (tapas, gazpachos, salads, quiches, spaghetti...). Large sunny terrace with a view of the beautiful residences on Avenue Bertrand. Regular concerts and exhibition of artists.
FRIT'HOUSE'L
Read moreMr. and Mrs. Caby love what they do, and Frit'House'L is immediately reassuring when you notice the cooking and the organization that goes with it. The fries are naturally "homemade" and cooked twice in beef fat. The menu includes a dozen burgers based on pure beef burgers, grills, main courses and sandwiches or wraps. Specialties include bamis (oriental pasta croquettes), Ragouzi (croquettes filled with béchamel sauce, chicken and vegetables) and Lucifer (explosive meat in a pancake).
COOK & BOOK
Read moreA bookshop that lets you devour more than just paper! Cook & Book is an ambitious concept whose main asset is to nourish body and mind almost simultaneously. Several rooms, with a menu featuring simple cuisine (salads, steak tartare with fries, well-stocked toasts and a few well-prepared hot dishes). Before or after your coffee, we highly recommend a visit to the literature section. Wolubilis, with its event halls, is right next door, for extra culture!
MEATBALL'S BAR
Read moreMeatball bars are springing up everywhere! Meatball's Bar has chosen the Rue de Marcinelle as its location, spilling out onto the sidewalk with tables and high chairs. The contemporary industrial decor completes the ambience. At the table, you can choose from five types of meatballs (beef, vitoulet - a mix of pork and veal -, veggie...), four sauces (tomato, chef's curry...) and a side dish (fries, pasta, vegetables...). You can also put dumplings in soup or slice them on bread, sandwich-style. A good-natured, trendy bar.
ABC MATEOS
Read moreABC Mateos mixes Brussels and Spanish tradition by offering delicious tapas (in a very popular Street Bar formula) directly linked to the daily arrivals of fish and shellfish. Sea snails, shrimp croquettes, fish soups, grilled sardines, fried smelts, paella, oysters, all accompanied by a glass of white wine... Small selection of Spanish wines to take away. You can lick your fingers and keep them clean to start a seafood platter, if ordered. In short, this is much more than a fishmonger's, welcome to Max's!
LE PAIN QUOTIDIEN
Read moreA few blocks from the Jambes bridge, the Pain Quot' is in the air of time while keeping the specific DNA of the sign (falsely aged decoration, large table of hosts, counter presenting its tempting suggestions, beautiful luminaries), the clientele of regulars has its marks there. It is good to stop there for a breakfast, a soup, a sandwich, a piece of pie. The specialities are succulent and of quality like the Tuscan plate or the beef basil sandwich. We do not forget the suggestions and superb cakes. Other address: rue du Collège, 5.

FRITKOT CHOUKE
Read moreSince 2019, the Sainte-Catherine district has finally had its own " fritkot ", thanks to Agathe and her team. In their tiny kitchen, they prepare fries that are as good as (if not better than) those from better-known establishments. They're calibrated, cooked in beef fat, as golden as the sun and as tasty. Given the small size of the place, the menu has also been streamlined: only one size of cornet, a limited assortment of sauces, well-chosen side dishes (meat or veggie fricadelle, chicken wings...) or an excellent Angus beef burger.

TAPAS Y MAS
Read moreCold, hot, as suggestions or seasonal, the tapas are homemade with touches from here and elsewhere such as the tapas... poutine or Spanish, Greek and South American. We also found a goat cheese and zucchini lasagna, coconut milk curry dumplings, Brazilian-style scampi and spighe with truffle cream: 4 home-made classics. Freshness and discovery are the order of the day and the mix of flavours and spices is surprising. To drink, cocktails, about fifteen beers and a good list of wines from Europe and the world.
