Possibly my favourite place in Brussels. The place where I would bring any friend to eat on a (sunny) weekend. Open only for lunch, they cook the best fish in town. Their grilled tuna is a true wonder. Don't miss also their fried "kibbelings"! A real old-school fish market, they'll scream your name when the food is ready, and you'll eat on their high tables in the middle of Saint Catherine (one of the nicest little squares in Brussels).
