Difficult to outshine this restaurant which has become a Brussels institution – in a venue where mussels used to be served up. David De Schepper and brothers Sven and Jurgen Campens have succeeded in making a canteen with pure lines but which sits somewhere between fashionable tastes and authenticity. Not in the least ostentatious, it keeps a low profile, simple and bright, blending perfectly into rue de Flandre, a street that’s a breath of fresh air in the Dansaert district. And in keeping with this philosophy the menu doesn’t overdo things either. This is simple cooking with respect for the produce. They’re happy to do the Belgian classics but don’t disappoint when venturing further afield.
It’s worth noting the suggestions of the day, a fine addition to this modest, friendly establishment. We weren’t surprised to discover that the singer Arno is a regular. The man from Ostend knows his value for money.
