80 The tour a table for Belgium Want the best Filet americain/Steak tartare in town (the one that even Bill Clinton got to taste)? Or the juiciest Stoemp around? Maybe you’re in the mood for a steaming casserole of mussels? Or a Bloempanch (Brussels’ infamous flour and blood sausage dish) is really what makes your mouth water? Whatever your national dish of choice, chances are we know the best table for it. Writer Nicholas Lewis Photographer Grégoire Pleynet
Au Vieux St Martin The staple of the Niels restaurant empire (which also includes La Marie Joseph on Place St Catherine as well as the Canterbury in Flagey), Le Vieux St Martin sits on Brussels’ Grand Sablon/Grote Zavel the way a queen sits on her throne – majestic, composed and dignified. With its kitchen open for business throughout the day, it has ever since its opening in 1968 excelled in cooking up authentic Belgian cuisine (its Filet Américain, invented in 1924 by founder Albert Niels, is the stuff of legend) for the upper crust of society – everyone from Bill Clinton to Johnny Depp has eaten here. A pillar of the city’s dining landscape, Au Vieux St Martin is the kind of place where your parents took you as a child, and where you’ll definitely be taking your children too – kind of like that Piaget watch that is passed on from generation to generation and never goes out of fashion. Au Vieux St Martin Place du Grand Sablon 38 Grote Zavel 1000 Brussels The Food Special Le Pré Salé 81 Founded in 1968, le Pré Salé is squeezed between two townhouse on Brussels’ Rue de Flandres/Vlaamsesteenweg, its entrance flanked on both sides by two large windows offering full view of the restaurant’s interior. Once inside, the first thing that strikes you is the open kitchen, the magnificent tiling on the floors and walls as well the glassworks dating back to the 1800s, and which hang above the kitchen counter. Authentic and no-nonsense, le Pré Salé’s our go-to-place for seasonal mussels, which come direct from Zeeland (owner John Lerinckx calls them the ’golden’ mussels) and are best served ’nature, with a portion of homemade French fries of course Rue de Flandre 20 Vlaamsesteenweg 1000 Brussels.
