Eating out in Brussels is an unparalleled and plentiful experience. Moules-frites are ubiquitous, while shrimp croquettes, eels in chervil sauce and the white wine fish or chicken stew Waterzooi provide classic local flavour. The traditional restaurants rarely change hands and seem to have been around forever, giving a sense of reliable continuity, even in the tourist areas. It's not all mussels; restaurants from around the world add to Brussels' eclectic mix.
