Lange Kievitstraat 52 2018 Antwerpen

In the heart of the old diamond district, where there are more frummers per square yard than even Stamford Hill, we were the only customers in modern dress, and I was the only female. The food is all cooked on the premises and (obviously) all kosher. You make a selection from an impressive array at the counter, Hoffy piles your plate high, heats it up and brings it to you. Meanwhile, you sit down and tuck into hrine (horseradish and beetroot dip) and harissa (chili, tomato. sour cream dip) new green pickles and brown bread.

Le Temps Delire, Chaussee de Charleroi 175 - 177 Brussels, Belgium 1060


Chaussee de Charleroi 175 - 177 Brussels, Belgium 1060

A pleasant enough little brasserie where you can get a croque monsieur if you're feeling boring or one of the combination salads if a little more adventurous. There doesn't seem to be any rules as to what goes in; strawberries, ham and pickles, with a creamy dressing all lumped in together. Bizarre but tasty. Approved King Mob 2000

Cheesecake Cafe, Place de Brouckere 8 - 10 1000 Brussels, Belgium


Place de Brouckere 8 - 10 1000 Brussels, Belgium

From Hollywood's golden age, to arctic exploration, baseball to cricket, the decor is meant to be all-embracing to reflect the eclectic menu. No specific style to speak of, it includes dishes from all over Europe and beyond, most of which looked pretty good. A wide variety of contemporary music in the background and staying open until 2am make it mostly a young people place but all the better for it.

Rue des Chapeliers 26 Brussels, Belgium 1000

If you want to eat well in Brussels, come here. The bill came to about £30 a head for 3 courses and a good bottle of wine, which was criminally undercharging (they even do a lunchtime 2 course special for about £6). I can't emphasise enough how good this was. The duck fillets to start were gorgeous, the creme brulee was a deliciously rich treat. But the turbot main course was something really special, probably the best piece of fish I've ever had.

Le Castelnaudary, Avenue de l'Europe 62 6000 Charleroi, Belgium


Avenue de l'Europe 62 6000 Charleroi

Charleroi is not a pretty town; think Blade Runner and Robocop. But take a left from outside the station and you avoid most of the town and get to see the various slag heaps and factories pouring tons of evil looking smoke into the air. You will also find this little gem of an Italian restaurant. Great service, really friendly and attentive. All the dishes are big, look beautiful and taste even better.

Le Lautrec, Rue des Bouchers 24 Brussels, Belgium 1000


Rue des Bouchers 24 Brussels, Belgium 1000

In the Little Italy district, just behind La Grand Place, there are plenty of sea food restaurants in the tight winding alleys, this is a particularly fine one. Very fresh ingredients, plenty of variety and a good wine list. Look out for the mixed sea food grill which is spectacular. Expensive but worth it. Approved King Mob 2000

Le Roy, Rue de College, Charleroi, Belgium

A pleasant, very open tapas bar just a few minutes from the station in one direction and the town centre in the other. At about £1 per dish with various combination specials, its pretty good value. The food isn't spectacular (a little on the bland side) but reasonable nonetheless. OK King Mob 2000

Drug Opera, Rue des Fripiers 32 Brussels, Belgium 1000


Rue des Fripiers 32 Brussels, Belgium 1000

Warning no 1; The name attracts hordes of English tourists (including me). Warning no 2; It has delusions of being a smart restaurant but its just a big pub on three floors. Warning no 3; It still charges over a tenner for most dishes which aren't very good. Warning no 4; To say the service was slothsome would be a disservice to sloths. rejected King Mob 2000

L'ecu D'or, Place de Brouckerplein 14 Brussels, Belgium 1000


Place de Brouckerplein 14 Brussels, Belgium 1000

Nothing special foodwise, the usual sandwiches, burgers etc. Great range of beers though; Judas, Kwak, Lucifer, Delirium, and Sudden Death to name just the ones we tried. And a nice terrace to sit out on, on a hot summers day. Approved. King Mob 2000
