I have now been working more than 3 years in the lovely city of Brussels and I have the last 18 months had the fortune of living here full time. One of the first things I have become to understand is why expats don't want to leave again. When I arrived I had a goal of walking the streets of Brussels and driving the roads of Belgium. One of my goals here is to visit all large cities in Belgium and afterwards know a lot about Belgium.
The heaven of Saint Boniface
This week I had to great luck visit a restaurant that had specialized in "Cuisine francaise de terroir" or the traditional french cuisine. The restaurant is situated in Ixelle at the wonderful square of Rue Saint Boniface - a little pearl of this part of town.

The restarant is a family run busines, with father in the kitchen, mom taking care of the customers and their daghter heling with the serving - it is also one of these places that take the luxury of having closed in the weekends:-).

The food was exellent if you are in to the tradional kitchen, and even if you are not! - the food can be desribed as heavy and you are sure to be full when you leave. They have a good wine card as well and the service was very friendly and very good in explaining the different possibilities.

This restaurant is a must if you want to taste some good food and have a nice evening - it is both a restarant where you can bring your friends, your partner or just be yourself with a good book. The area around the restaurant is great if you want to continue with a beer or whatever...:-)

I had "La veritable saucisse de Mortean accompané d´Aligot" and it was awesome.

In the summer or when it is hot you can sit outside in their garden. The restaurant has both a non-smoking and a smoking area.
