    Awesome place for fish and chips in Brussels…read more Backstory- I'm not big on fish and chips and hardly ever order it. My mom loves eating this dish since she grew up on it. So being in Europe, she wanted to eat fish and chips. We had dinner reservations somewhere else but decided to go here for some appetizer sort option to make mom happy. Bia Mara has a ton of fish options and they can get it cooked any way. My mom wanted the locally caught coal fish option. The fish tasted great with the light coat for frying option. We ended up sharing it with French fries. The French fries were amazing as well. This place is local favorite and is extremely busy. And the service was excellent. The server helped us right away. Explained the fish options of the day. Brought out drinks right away and brought out our order fairly quickly. If you want great fish and chips in Brussels, this place is the one to be at. ~

When we got there it was very busy and we wanted to sit outside but the tables were so small they were very uncomfortable to sit so we went inside. Even though it is a very small shop they had a good 30-35 people enjoying dinner. The fish was very fresh and as you are in Brussels of course the fries are always gonna taste great. 5 star fish n chips place. This is an excellent neighborhood to explore Brussels a little bit different from the areas most tourists visit.

    I wanted some seafood for my first meal in Brussels and specifically walked over here after all the…read morereviews I read. This was a combo fish monger and restaurant in one. Large refrigerated cases faced the street with a variety of fresh fish, shellfish and premade seafood items. In the back the kitchen and food prep were visible and completed restaurant or to go orders were queued at its own counter (though staff would drop off at your table). Prices were quite reasonable comparing them to other restaurants in the more touristy streets. Also the cashier was very friendly with both locals and visitors. My favorite was the razor clams followed by the mussels and fish soup. Each was nicely seasoned and good size/ meaty for the shellfish. A separate bowl was also provided to hold all the empty shells. The WCs were located down a spiral staircase in the rear of the restaurant and was tiny. Overall a great start to my eating in Brussels.

    Thank you, Mer du Nord for giving me one of my favorite meals during a recent European trip. I'm a…read moreherring lover and I got to try both pickled herring and Dutch-style cured herring (the kind that you see people dip in chopped onions and dangle by the tail and eat with their head tilted back.) I loved them both, but since I was not sure I would ever get to try the Dutch style in my life-time and despite it being a bucket list food, I was so enormously grateful. Even more grateful because it tasted amazing. I plowed through more than one I must admit. I might never get to try it again so I had to get more than one. Don't judge me. LOL. Anyway, the lady that helped me once I had one of the pickled and one of the cured ones was very patient and very kind. She seemed genuinely interested in what I thought and listened to me as I gushed like a fan boy over their products. I will never forget that and I was very appreciative. The place is pretty close to central, downtown Brussels and it was nice to just go to a table out in a courtyard and enjoy one of the favorite things I had on that trip. It was awesome.
