This Art Deco brasserie in the famous shopping arcade has been here since 1928 and remains a benchmark of its kind, serving chicken waterzooi, sauerkraut, herring, and lobster from noon to midnight nonstop. Most fun of all, however, are the roasts, which are carved before you. The multilingual waiters are jolly and the wine list is exceptional—not surprising in a restaurant owned by the president of the Belgian guild of sommeliers. Reserve a table outside if you like to watch the world go by.
