I have visited Belgium quite a few times over the years, we went to Ostend a lot when I was a child. When I did some college trips to Amsterdam in the 1990s we obviously travelled by coach through Belgium, we also stopped at Bruges, which I am planning to visit again in the future. Last year on the way back from Germany we stopped for a flying visit to Ghent. We had thought about visiting Brussels, but time was against us.
A few weeks back I was in Brussels for a couple of in-person meetings. After the last of our meetings, myself and some colleagues headed out for a few beers and something to eat.
We went to a restaurant on Rue du Taciturne. It was nice to sit outside and enjoy the air and the views from the street.
I was in Belgium, so didn’t really want to do pasta, so I went with the steak and fries.
The plate did look nice, well I thought there was probably too much shaved parmesan on my steak. I think I would have preferred fries over chips. The steak was cooked rare, but I felt it lacked flavour. Needed more seasoning, the parmesan wasn’t really working in this case. The actual dining experience was great, the food itself I think could have been better.
