Who With? Andrew

Food Style? Belgian

We're in Brussels, where we've just seen the King and Queen of Belgium welcome the Japanese Imperial Couple at the Grand Place. It's time for lunch and I've chosen a Belgian restaurant famous for its mussels, though it also serves other local specialties like meatballs, stews and croquettes. Interestingly enough, the road we're on has many Korean, Japanese and Indian restaurants, and it surprises me that Brussels is more multicultural than I thought it would be.

Mains #1


Cote de Porc: pork chop with Blackwell sauce
Andrew opts for the pork chop. It’s a bit tough but tasty. The Blackwell sauce - whatever it's made of - is very acidic, and I’m not entirely sure it goes well with the pork.

Mains #2


Moules de Zélande: Mussels with Garlic Sauce
Definitely the better choice here. It’s so aromatic and flavoursome with all the herbs and celery enhancing the broth. I’m having a great time soaking it up with the frites and bread. I get to the bottom and there’s an odd shaped mussel that doesn’t open, but then I realise it’s actually a stone and it’s the reason the broth has maintained its heat so well during my meal. They're not particularly cheap either, this bowl cost €26.90 or close to CAD$44.
