A place for Belgians to get homesick. After a trip to
this Greenwich Village Flemish standby where the variety
of mussels is amazing and is matched by an equally impressive
beer list, health servings” and reasonable prices
make this place a great spot for visitors.

This Belgian bistro and Meatpacking District pioneer is
still stylish after all these years. The sprawling dining
room features dark-wood details, brass railings and a
gleaming 60-foot bar, complete with raw-bar selections
on ice and more beer taps than you can count. The Belgium-inspired
restaurant, which specializes in seemingly countless varieties
of creative frites, gets especially busy on warm summer
nights, when groups take to the sidewalk tables and to
the bar for icy ales, oysters and everything from lobster
salads to simple fish entrees.

Belgian-style fries served to-go in a cone. This tiny
East Village storefront goes through more than 1,000
pounds of potatoes daily. Frites lovers line up for
a cone filled with fries and loaded up with one or two
of the 26 cheesy, meaty toppings. Authentically Belgian,
the fries here are hand-cut and twice-fried, but the
drippings span the globe: roasted garlic mayonnaise,
satay peanut sauce and the complimentary house-special
mayonnaise, ketchup and raw onions.
