It had carmelized pears and goat cheese. The fries are steak fries. Of course, like any Belgian restaurant, you should section off at least 2 hours of your night because they take their time to serve. However, with what I ate, I believe the food is worth the wait. I will be back.

This franchise cafe seems to be popping up everywhere. There is now even one in the little city of…read moreMons, in the south of Belgium. It's a very "bio" place and of course bio usually means that they will charge you more than if it was non-bio. But for those who have a conscious about destroying the planet and causing tsunamis and earthquakes because of spraying pesticides on crops, well this is the place to go! I do like the place though and it ain't half bad! I remember going to this one last year when meeting a friend there. I ordered a large coffee and it was so large that it was served in what looked more like a cereal bowl than it did a cup. I looked at the menu when there yesterday and that big cuppa set me back 3.60 Euros. But that isn't a bad price. Also on the menu were lots of desserts, which is the places main business since it has "bread" in the name of the cafe. You can get a tartelette of lemon, caramel or strawberry for just under 5 Euro. I ordered a beer, a bio pils for 2.60. It was a local beer, from the town of Silly and the bottle held 25cl. This really isn't too much more than a decent Belgian lager/pils. To eat, I got a "poulet fume" with a bunch of dressing and zuccini on it. It was basically a couple of open faced sandwiches but oh so good. There is virgin olive oil and Atlantic salt and (not sure where from) pepper on the table to douce your food. My girlfriend had a cappuccino and a beef sandwich, pretty similar to the style of mine. The beef was raw mince meat. I know that filet americain is raw beef but this was a new one on me. Before we left, we took a couple pastries to go (and eat in the cinema across the grand place). The total bill came to something like 35 Euro. It sounds pretty expensive for a couple sandwiches, pastries and drinks but I think it was worth it. The place is very clean, cozy and for the ladies, my girlfriend said that they're probably the cleanest toilets that she has found in Belgium!

I tried to bring my parents here for lunch however as soon as we walked through the door, the staff behind the counter didn't waste a moment of our time and informed us that there were no tables. We were disappointed but got around to doing some other shit and then by the time we were finished, figured we could go back to see if things had opened up. Fortunately, they had and we were able to snag a table easily. By this time, it was dangerously close to dinnertime and in the interest of having enough gastric space for dinner, we were light with this "snack". Both I and one of my dining companions ordered one of their soups. I don't recall much of the specifics other than the fact that it was green and delicious. Two of my other dining companions ordered the "veggie balls" which I had a chance to try, they were quite good. The veggie sushi was also ordered and received positive reviews. The inside/entrance area is really cool and they have a really impressive menu with tons of stuff. I saw some spreads/hummuses that I would have wanted to try if it weren't for the gastric space issue. I can see why it's hard to get a table!
