Pourquoi choisir Bruxelles comme destination week-end ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"Bruxelles,<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

– parce que c\u2019est \u00e0 trois heures de Paris en voiture
\n– parce que le centre ville historique se visite en une journ\u00e9e \u00e0 pied, m\u00eame quand il pleut
\n– parce qu\u2019on adore la BD<\/strong>
\n– et parce qu\u2019on y mange<\/strong> super bien !
\n(je suis allergique \u00e0 la bi\u00e8re)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n


\n\"\"
\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\n

On y mange notamment de tr\u00e8s bonnes frites fra\u00eeches \u00e0 la graisse de boeuf<\/strong>. Notre QG s\u2019est \u00e9tabli chez Fritland<\/strong> en plein quartier pi\u00e9ton du centre : Rue Henri Maus 49, m\u00e9tro Bourse. Il est immanquable. Et m\u00eame qu\u2019il est tr\u00e8s bien plac\u00e9 pour rep\u00e9rer le fameux bar La B\u00e9casse<\/strong>, cach\u00e9 au fond d\u2019une petite ruelle.<\/p>\n

La ville est plut\u00f4t anim\u00e9e, avec des tr\u00e9sors cach\u00e9s \u00e0 chaque coin de rue<\/strong> : des category, des illustrations et m\u00eame des noms de rue qui font hommage au monde de la BD<\/strong>. Les quartiers touristiques font bonne figure mais les restaurants aussi. Les proportions sont gargantuesques ! Plateaux de fruits de mer, brochettes de viande et autres rations de friture font peur.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Nous sommes all\u00e9s nous r\u00e9fugier Chez Vincent<\/strong>. Un bistrot qui n\u2019a l\u2019air de rien vu de l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur, mais en pleine effervescence \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur. Un conseil : r\u00e9servez ou revenez plus tard. L\u2019ambiance cantine<\/strong> y est tr\u00e8s sympa, avec un bar de service au milieu de la salle. Le personnel y termine les cuissons et le dressage. Une fois assis, nous avons attendu pr\u00e8s d\u2019une heure en sirotant une bouteille de Saint-Est\u00e8phe 2007<\/strong> (tant qu\u2019\u00e0 faire…).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"Bruxelles,<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Enfin, notre c\u00f4te de boeuf Angus<\/strong> est arriv\u00e9e : cuisson parfaite. Accompagn\u00e9e de pommes duchesse g\u00e9antes<\/strong> (j\u2019adore les pommes duchesse avec des morceaux de patate dedans et aromatis\u00e9es \u00e0 la muscade !), avec option \u201csauce b\u00e9arnaise ou salade\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201c- Vous voulez dire \u2018sauce b\u00e9arnaise ou sauce salade\u2019 ?
\n– Non, je dis bien ce qui est \u00e9crit : sauce ou salade
\n– Euh… et en accompagnement ce sera pomme de terre ou salade ?
\n– Non madame, en accompagnement, c\u2019est pomme de terre ! O\u00f9 cherchez-vous le probl\u00e8me ?
\n– Pas de probl\u00e8me, on prendra pomme de terre, sauce et salade.\u201d<\/p>\n

En effet, la \u201csalade\u201d est une salade compos\u00e9e tellement sauc\u00e9e qu\u2019elle peut servir \u00e0 la place de la B\u00e9arnaise. Par contre, pas de moutarde, sauf si on prend des frites<\/strong>…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nous avons aussi tent\u00e9 la gastronomie belge<\/strong>. On s\u2019est fait plaisir en r\u00e9servant une petite table au restaurant Le Passage<\/a>, une \u00e9toile au guide Michelin<\/strong>. Ambiance feutr\u00e9e et dynamique \u00e0 la fois, un service discret et souriant. J\u2019ai beaucoup ri et appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 chaque instant. M\u00eame \u00e0 descendre aux toilettes (2 fois) \u00e0 cloche-pied \u00e0 cause d\u2019une tendinite.<\/p>\n

Tous les plats sont respectueux des produits<\/strong>, d\u2019une surprenante fra\u00eecheur. Les assiettes sont des arrangements simples de multiples saveurs, comme le concert d\u2019un orchestre philharmonique<\/strong>. Un moment de d\u00e9gustation simple et complexe \u00e0 la fois, que du bonheur !<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Bruxelles,<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Nous avons pris une bouteille d\u2019Auxey-Duresse (Bourgogne)<\/strong>. J\u2019en \u00e9tais tomb\u00e9 amoureuse chez Couron \u00e0 Nevers<\/a> ! Puis, on a continu\u00e9 avec une bouteille \u00e0 emporter (voiture oblige, mais compt\u00e9e moiti\u00e9 prix) de Minervois not\u00e9 98\/100 par Robert Parker. Le sommelier nous a pr\u00e9par\u00e9 la bouteille et on a emprunt\u00e9 2 verres \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4tel. La soir\u00e9e \u00e9tait parfaite.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le menu du mois de mai :<\/p>\n

– Sashimi saumon<\/strong> (avec une p\u00e9tale de truffe printani\u00e8re dessus \ud83d\ude42 et tartare de thon rouge<\/strong> (zeste d\u2019orange et de citron), artichaut, pommes vertes<\/p>\n

– Langoustine<\/strong> \u00e0 la plancha et cannelloni de langoustines, asperges r\u00f4ties au parmesan<\/strong>, jus de langoustines, noilly, pourpier et kari gosse<\/p>\n

– Ananas et bananes caram\u00e9lis\u00e9s<\/strong> au sucre de canne, mousseux au citron kalamansi (calamondin pour les fleuristes) et gaufre de Bruxelles<\/strong> (\u00e9paisse et croustillante)<\/p>\n

Why Brussels as a weekend destination?
\n– Because it is three hours from Paris by car
\n– Because the city center can be visited in one day by foot, even when it rains
\n– Because we love comics
\n– And because the food is awesome!
\n(I<\/em>‘m allergic to beer)<\/p>\n

Almost, we can eat very good french fries cooked in beef fat<\/strong>. Our headquarters was established in Fritland<\/strong> in pedestrian central area: 49 Henri Maus street, Metro Bourse. It is inevitable. And even that is very well placed to identify the famous La B\u00e9casse pub<\/strong>, tucked in a small alley.<\/em><\/p>\n

The city is quite lively, with hidden treasures around every corner: category, artwork and even street names are a tribute to the comic’s world<\/strong>. The tourist areas are doing well but also restaurants. The gargantuan proportions! Trays of seafood, meat kebabs and other frying rations scared us.<\/em><\/p>\n

We went refuging to Chez Vincent<\/strong>. A bistro that does not look like anything seen from the outside, but buzzing inside. Tip: book a place or come back later. The canteen atmosphere is very nice, with a bar service in the middle of the room. The staff there completes the cooking and dressing. Once seated, we waited nearly an hour<\/strong> sipping a bottle of Saint-Est\u00e8phe 2007<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, our Angus prime rib<\/strong> arrived: perfectly cooked. With giant Duchess potatoes<\/strong> (I love the duchess potatoes with chunks of potato in and flavored with nutmeg!), With option \u00ab\u00a0b\u00e9arnaise sauce or salad.\u00a0\u00bb
\n\u00ab\u00a0– You mean ‘b\u00e9arnaise sauce or salad dressing’?
\n– No, I mean what is written : sauce or salad.
\n– Uh … and accompanying will be potatoes or salad?
\n– No, madam, in accompaniment is potatoes! Where is the problem you are looking for?
\n– No problem, we will have potatoes, sauce and salad. \u00a0\u00bb
\nIndeed, the \u00ab\u00a0salad\u00a0\u00bb is a salad so dressed that it can be used instead of any sauce. By cons, no mustard, unless<\/em> we have french fries…<\/p>\n

We also tried the Belgian gastronomy. We had the pleasure to book a small table at Le Passage<\/a><\/strong> a Michelin star restaurant. Cozy atmosphere and dynamic at the same time, discreet and friendly service. I laughed a lot and enjoyed every moment<\/strong>. Even going down to the toilet (2 times) hopping on one feet because of a tendinitis.<\/em><\/p>\n

All dishes are respectfull to products, a surprising freshness. The dishes are simple arrangements of multiple flavors, as a Philharmonic concert<\/strong>. A simple moment of tasting and complex at the same time, what a pleasure!<\/em><\/p>\n

We took a bottle of Auxey-Duresse (Burgundy)<\/strong>. I had fallen in love with it at Couron in Nevers<\/a> ! Then we continued with a bottle to take away (car requires, but counted half price) Minervois noted 98\/100 by Robert Parker<\/strong>. The sommelier has prepared the bottle and we borrowed two glasses at the hotel. The evening was perfect.<\/em><\/p>\n

Menu of the month of May:
\n– Sashimi<\/strong> (with a petal of spring truffle above \ud83d\ude42 and red tuna tartare<\/strong> (orange peel and lemon), artichoke, green apple
\n– Lobster a la plancha and langoustine cannelloni<\/strong>, roasted asparagus with parmesan, juice scampi noilly, purslane and kari kid
\n– Pineapples and bananas caramelized sugar, sparkling lemon and kalamansi, Brussels waffle<\/strong> (thick<\/em> and crispy)<\/p>\n
