Canterbury

Traditional cuisine with a capital T

2 Avenue de l'Hippodrome
Brussels 1050
Belgium
+32 (0)2 646 8393

In this gorgeous part of town, close to Les Etangs d'Ixelles (The Lakes of Ixelles), which are surrounded by truly magnificent Jugendstil-mansions, is this agreeable young brasserie, which specializes in traditional cuisine. Classics like filet Américain (raw minced beef, prepared at your table), Gentse waterzooi (creamy chicken stew) and Vol-au-vent (another chicken speciality) are really state-of-the-art. The restaurant is run by the Niels family. Founding father Joseph is said to have 'invented' filet Américain in the 20's. Tasting it here, you will gladly believe that claim. The business is child-friendly; there is a special children's library on the premises.

De Skieven Architek

Drinks near the flea market 50 Vossenplein
Brussels 1000
Belgium
+32 (0)2 514 4369 From 1866, a great part of the Marolles, an old neighborhood in the heart of Brussels, was torn down and replaced with stately Parisian-style avenues and a gigantic Palais de Justice, which still dominates the city. Ever since, skieven architek (crooked architect) is an insult not to be taken lightly in Brussels. On the edge of the daily flea market, this café is great place to enjoy a beer or coffee, they also serve a decent breakfast and deliciously simple meals all day long. In the summer you can dine in the garden.
