All touristic guides will mention the Delirium. It is worth a detour for the Guinness Record of number of beers available. It is not IMHO a real Belgian beer bar, but great to hang out with friends.

The crowd sees the Manneken Pis. Locals get a drink at the bar with the most unpronounceable name in history. It could not be a marketing stunt. Good service and ambiance, very wide beer selection.

Nothing Belgian about this small and confidential contemporary cuisine restaurant, but for the Flemish chef. Pricey (30€pp) but extraordinary.

This is not the average Belgian restaurant which you find close to a motorway interchange, this is the real deal where it all started. Great for mussles & fries, but service's quality is random.

BEST FRIES IN THE WORLD. People queue in line up to an hour in the cold to get fries, and they don't complain. Get yours, with some croquettes, sit at a nearby bar to drink a beer. Expect food coma.
