Dining Around The World: Restaurant T Kelderke in Brussels, Belgium

Grand Place or Grote Markt is the central square of Brussels and is considered one of the most beautiful places in the world.

This Belgium restaurant has a strong French influence and was highly recommended by my flight attendant friend, Anne, who has dined here at least ten times in the past five years. She said it's her favorite go-to restaurant when she's in Brussels. And the location is ideal since it's right in the Grand Place square where you're surrounded by beauty!

Anne said her friend (living in the USA) grew up in Belgium and told her she loves coming to T Kelderke when visiting so she can experience the same kind of food her mother made at home.

Cozy ambiance with arched brick walls and open kitchen in the background. We made sure we arrived early before the crowds.

Fish Waterzooi (stew with vegetables and cream) 22,90 Euros.

Anne ordered this popular dish which includes mussels, fish, and potatoes. She said she prefers a tomato based seafood, however, she was eager to try something new and different.

This is the French name of my lamb stew with potatoes, carrots and leeks. The lamb was tender and tasty, plus one of the special meals being offered that evening. Very filling, indeed!

Even though the chef was busy cooking, he kept a watchful eye on the patrons, even leaning over and inquiring about our meals. After dinner I told him about my blog, so he invited me in the kitchen for a photo. Very friendly staff!
