Outdoor seating is comfortable and affords a lot of fun people watching in the square and the flea market. But just know that you will need to pay in cash. They do not accept credit cards.

Spaghetti bolo for breakfast? Hell yeah!…read more After a morning jaunt through the flea market where I snatched up a fab porcelain pastry plate for 2E, my local host suggested a mid-morning snack at this 100% authentic Belgian café. As soon as we walked through the door my heart started to flutter. The wood paneled restaurant with its large central Zinc bar, gruff but friendly waiters, formica table tops with little napkin dispensers looks like it hasn't budged in 50 years. In a word: adorable! After examining the menu thoroughly I settled on the house specialty of spaghetti bolo and a café russe to wash it all down. An incongruous blend, I know, but hey, in a 24hr Belgian diner anything goes. Needless to say the bolo was like nothing I've ever had. Served over slightly overcooked vermicelli and topped with grated gruyere, the peppery, chunky bolognaise sauce had a regressive, quirky, heartiness to it that made the whole dish super fun to eat. If I lived in BXL I could see La Clef d'Or becomming a regular post flea market spot.

I found the decor of the inside of the restaurant quite weird, sort of a hip bar with futuristic decorations. The outside, though, is a definitely a pleasant place for lounging in a lazy afternoon.

Nice variety of burgers, students' menu, kids' menu, tapas, salads, chicken, pork, ribs, fish, hot dogs and milkshakes!!! They also have a good selection of drinks, and yes, that includes alcoholic beverages. The waiter (and I believe the owner) was very nice and spoke a little English. It is close to the Saint Ghislain train station. There are also stores nearby. Definitely returning.

Burgers, hotdogs, salads, fish options, ribs, and chicken options for food. Drink menu consist of well drinks, American soft drinks, and shakes. Starters are listed as Tapas. They have jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, onion rings and various other options. We had burgers (Mexican burger, Bacon cheeseburger), a chicken skillet (almost like a fajita) and a kids meal. Shakes are standard and also alcoholic based. I find the shakes to have tasted very good. Service is above par for Belgium. Prompt greeting, quick return from time of order to table. The atmosphere is very 50's diner. Reservations are a must because they fill up fast. Make sure to try if in the area. Definitely recommend.

It's more traditional to get fruit like strawberries or bananas on top, as well as chocolate sauce or powdered sugar. They have lots of topping and sauce options. They also have a great warm drink menu and the hot chocolate is epic. There's a line out the door and a minimum spend per table since the place is small but it's easy to hit. Enjoy!

We tried 5 waffle place in Belgium - 4 Liege and 1 Brussels waffle places. This is the Brussels…read morewaffle spot. It's a cozy cafe with available seating for 2 when we came in. They specialize in XL Brussels waffle, which is more airy, less chewy, and less sweet. They have a sign in English that each person must order a drink and a waffle can be shared by 2 people max. (It's interesting that they don't have one in any other language.) And this sign is only visible when you are sitting down; they should have been transparent before you choose to dine in by pasting the sign on a different face of the column. So be mindful that eating your waffle in the store may cost more than you expected. We got a waffle with banana. I thought it's ok since I like Liege waffles more (nothing against this cafe), but my partner really likes it. The bananas costs an extra 4.5 euros, so it's not worth it in our opinion. The staff didn't cut them, so it's nice to know they are two whole bananas. But I guess the extra 4.5 euros do not include their slicing? We were not planning to get drinks but we did because of the sign. My partner greatly enjoyed his coffee-based drink. I picked one of the cheapest ones, and it was ok. The staff is courteous and efficient. There is a WC available. If I come again, I would order a plain XL waffle for take out to bypass the drink requirement.
