Spaghetti bolo for breakfast? Hell yeah!…read more After a morning jaunt through the flea market where I snatched up a fab porcelain pastry plate for 2E, my local host suggested a mid-morning snack at this 100% authentic Belgian café. As soon as we walked through the door my heart started to flutter. The wood paneled restaurant with its large central Zinc bar, gruff but friendly waiters, formica table tops with little napkin dispensers looks like it hasn't budged in 50 years. In a word: adorable! After examining the menu thoroughly I settled on the house specialty of spaghetti bolo and a café russe to wash it all down. An incongruous blend, I know, but hey, in a 24hr Belgian diner anything goes. Needless to say the bolo was like nothing I've ever had. Served over slightly overcooked vermicelli and topped with grated gruyere, the peppery, chunky bolognaise sauce had a regressive, quirky, heartiness to it that made the whole dish super fun to eat. If I lived in BXL I could see La Clef d'Or becomming a regular post flea market spot.

Stopped here thinking I would get a Burger and asked another table if they would recommend this…read morespot. Yes! Was the answer. Decided to start with the Beef Brisket Kimchi Fries. My service said this could be an entree. She wasn't kidding. Possibly the best Kimch fries I've ever had. Beef Brisket was tasty and the cabbage, peppers were perfect and took it over the top. Paired it with a medium Chouffe. If only Chouffe prices were this reasonable back home! This was a meal-no need for a Burger (next time). Service was excellent and attentive.

Enjoy your life choices and reclaim the security that you made the right choice in visiting a seedy city.

Our intentions were to eat the fries only, but the line was so large, and we were so hungry that we had to pivot and go indoors for lunch instead. However, I will say that we observed that the establishment did send out fries for people waiting in line, which looked like a very good peace offering to the restless patrons. Inside the cafe was also bustling. We were seated quickly at one of the only empty tables left. From our seats, we could see all the wonderful food coming out of the kitchen as they placed it on the bar. The steak and fries looked divine. However, I was looking to try the mussels or seafood after hearing so much about them. So I ordered the Seafood Waterzooi upon recommendation from our waiter. He spoke Spanish which was awesome as my cousin doesn't speak anything else. The buttery sauce lacked a bit of flavor for my liking, but the plate was chock full of different types of seafood, including mussels, calamari, whitefish, shrimp, and salmon. The plate also came with a side of freshly made delicious fries.

It was an average breakfast, nothing out of the norm or over the top (from my perspective as a tourist).

Every time I've been by this patio in the summer with good weather, the street vibe is perfect for enjoying a meal or drink and people watching. We ordered the meatballs (comes with fries!) and chicken Parmesan pasta. I was starving and just needed to eat, but next time I'd come in an order a glass of wine and relax. It's amazing to think this restaurant has been open since 1936! Our server was nice - but very brief since it was quite busy.

Among our party of four, we had a good sampling of the food, including two variety platters and two chicken dishes. My yassa chicken was decent quality meat, but the sauce was very one-note and lemony. My friends with the variety platters fared better as they were able to have a bunch of different flavors and textures, whereas mine just got boring after time. Do note they have a number of vegetarian options. It was lovely to be outside; we were there during a jazz festival and a few live bands came through. Though the other restaurants were lively, we were the only customers at ours-- surprisingly, service was super slow. The woman was annoyed when we asked for the bill. The inside looks wild with lots of paintings on the wall. The bathroom is okay. A cheap and filling meal, but think I could have found a better spot in the area with some research.
