Mini-map - Brusselicious Typical food
Straightforward and generous, Brussel's cuisine is just like its inhabitants: good produce, well prepared, sometimes as great classic dishes, sometimes with the creativity of the new generation of chefs. The many cafés (where beer's drunk more than coffee) are friendly and welcoming, whether they're 'stamcafés' (the regular's haunts) or 'eetcafés' (for a quick bite to eat).
Not forgetting the superstar: the 'fritkot', or chip stall, whose duty it is to serve hot chips (French fried potatoes) in paper cones, freshly cooked in 'blanc de boeuf' (beef fat) and served with an impressive list of sauces.
