Fodor's Review:

Karl Marx used to drink here when the "Swan's House" was a tavern, but now it's a place for power dining. With decor to match its impressive cuisine, the restaurant is set in a 17th-century guildhall on the Grand'Place. The paneled walls of the formal dining room upstairs are hung with old masters, and a small room on the mezzanine contains two priceless Bruegels. Typical French-Belgian dishes include steamed turbot with hazelnut-mint dressing, roast pheasant, and saddle of lamb. Service is flawless. You'll need to make reservations a few weeks in advance.

Keep in mind: Jacket and tie. Reservations essential.
