I wanted some seafood for my first meal in Brussels and specifically walked over here after all the…read morereviews I read. This was a combo fish monger and restaurant in one. Large refrigerated cases faced the street with a variety of fresh fish, shellfish and premade seafood items. In the back the kitchen and food prep were visible and completed restaurant or to go orders were queued at its own counter (though staff would drop off at your table). Prices were quite reasonable comparing them to other restaurants in the more touristy streets. Also the cashier was very friendly with both locals and visitors. My favorite was the razor clams followed by the mussels and fish soup. Each was nicely seasoned and good size/ meaty for the shellfish. A separate bowl was also provided to hold all the empty shells. The WCs were located down a spiral staircase in the rear of the restaurant and was tiny. Overall a great start to my eating in Brussels.

Thank you, Mer du Nord for giving me one of my favorite meals during a recent European trip. I'm a…read moreherring lover and I got to try both pickled herring and Dutch-style cured herring (the kind that you see people dip in chopped onions and dangle by the tail and eat with their head tilted back.) I loved them both, but since I was not sure I would ever get to try the Dutch style in my life-time and despite it being a bucket list food, I was so enormously grateful. Even more grateful because it tasted amazing. I plowed through more than one I must admit. I might never get to try it again so I had to get more than one. Don't judge me. LOL. Anyway, the lady that helped me once I had one of the pickled and one of the cured ones was very patient and very kind. She seemed genuinely interested in what I thought and listened to me as I gushed like a fan boy over their products. I will never forget that and I was very appreciative. The place is pretty close to central, downtown Brussels and it was nice to just go to a table out in a courtyard and enjoy one of the favorite things I had on that trip. It was awesome.

If the "seasonal food, we serve only what we catch" trend was popular in Europe, this would be…read morehippest place in town! They have a menu but it isn't accurate since they might not have what you want in stock. The seafood is super fresh and varies based on what the catch of the day/week was. We came here after spending the day at the Roermond Outlets, and they had salmon, cod and mussels in stock. You can't be that close to the Belgian border and not have mussels in June! Mussels were fresh, plump and so juicy! They were served with some fries and various sauces. The cod was also very good, simply pan seared and served with a side salad. Food here is simple and fresh - cooked to let the natural flavors shine. Their English isn't very good, though they speak Dutch and German, so really pay attention to what they tell you especially since there is no menu and you want to know how much things cost. Overall, main courses are around €25-30/person. Food: 4/5 Simple, fresh and tasty. Service: 3/5 Typical Dutch service... made more difficult by the fact their English isn't very good. Atmosphere: 4//5 Sitting outside on a beautiful day is a true Dutch experience. A lot of locals have dinner here and it is located near a busy square so you can also do a bit of people watching. Value: 3/5 €30-35/person: main course + drink

Am Montag und Dienstag sind wir fischen So…read morebeschreibt das Fischrestaurant 't Lekkerste Vèske seine Öffnungszeiten. Holland ist ja eigentlich eher für seine Fastfood-Kultur bekannt aber die können auch anders. Zeeuwse Kreeft und Oestern aus Yerseke sind da nur zwei Beispiele. Beim Erkunden der Innenstadt von Roermond fällt uns das Eckrestaurant auf. Die Einrichtung ist gediegen, die Inhaberin und ihre beiden schönen Töchter haben den Service auf diese typisch holländisch-nuschelige Art, die von Deutschen gerne mit Charme verwechselt wird, im Griff. (See photo below) Die Karte ist klein, aber fein. Wir entscheiden uns für ein viergängiges Auswahlmenü. Die Vorspeise sind geräucherte Fischfilets, die, begleitet von einem Flusskrebs, im Salatbett serviert werden. Mein Aal ist naturgemäß fett, die Forelle meiner Freundin ist deutlich besser. Als nächstes gibt es eine Fischsuppe, die den Namen wirklich verdient. Die Wirtin empfiehlt uns für den Hauptgang die Seezunge. Schmeckt hervorragend. Das uns dabei nicht die im Menü angebotenen kleinen Seezungen, sondern die Große (unsere Spezialität seit 16 Jahren), die gar nicht zum Menü gehört, serviert wird, fällt erst später wirklich auf. Abgeschlossen wird das Ganze durch Pralinen und Kaffee. (See photo below) Ein durchweg gelungenes Geschmackserlebnis. Durch den 'Austausch' des Hauptgangs (zum nicht näher benannten 'Dagprijs') hatten wir locker 50 Euro mehr auf der Rechnung. Das war es wert, dennoch wäre hier eine transparente Information professioneller und fairer gewesen aber über den Unterschied zwischen Effektivität und Charme hatte ich mich ja oben schon geäussert ;-) Fazit: Sehr gutes Essen wer keine Überraschungen erleben will, sollte aber bei Empfehlungen des Service genau nachfragen. Daher ein Stern Abzug für die unprofessionelle Preiskommunikation.
