Belga Café
Belga Café Review
You can go traditional with mussels and the crispiest of french fries or dabble in what the chef calls Euro-fusion at this sleek café done up with dark wood, exposed brick, and creamy chairs and linens. Classic dishes such as waterzooi (Flemish beef stew) and leg of rabbit cooked with beer are expertly turned out, along with newer takes such as seared scallops with young carrots, red beets, and orange sauce. Belgium's love of well-made beer is reflected in the three-page list. Crowds at lunch and dinner—and especially for the überpopular waffle-centric brunch—sometimes mean a short wait, even with a reservation.
