After a visit to the castle in Bouillon we were feeling a bit hungry and not wanting to spend ages in a proper restaurant waiting to be served and then for the food to arrive - and then trying to get the waiter's attention to get the bill; we decided on a fast food place.
Whenever I travel and see anything Americana, I just have to check it out. Route 66 is a glorified friterie but they had some interesting sounding burgers on the menu. I had a Provenciale, which has a tomatoe-y type sauce with onions and such in it while the ladies in the party had an American burger, which said it came with bacon and eggs.
The service was fast, which is always nice. I was also pleasantly surprised that the burgers were made properly, meaning on a grill. Sure, this sounds logical but in Belgium at friteries, the fries, burgers, chicken nuggets and everything else are usually just thrown into a deep fat fryer and made that way. So, for me, it was a tasty burger. The girls weren't as impressed. They expected an American burger with bacon and eggs on it to have strips of bacon and a fried egg, preferably over easy. These had bacon bits, very fatty, and slices of cold hard boiled egg. Ah well, you cannot have everything!
Drinks-wise, I had a Jupiler and the ladies a Chimay. There were also soft drinks available. So, a nice place to visit where you can sit across the street from the river watching the pedal boats go by while enjoying some chow. read more
