21. Belga CafŽ Everybody Eats Well in Belgium is the title of Ruth Van WaerebeekGonzalez s cookbook about belgian cooking, and judging from the full tables in Belga http://www.washingtonian.com/dining/Profiles/belgacafe.html

RESTAURANT REVIEW Belgian Capitol Hill 514 Eighth St., SE Washington, DC Open Tuesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner. Belga Café's modern design, with brick walls, granite bar, and open kitchen, is an appropriate setting for Vandaele's cooking, which combines traditional Belgian and contemporary "Eurofusion" dishes. Almost everything on the menu sounds appealing. Starters include little "cigars" of fried pastry stuffed with chicken and crabmeat. Duck liver is served with a fruit "tutti-frutti" and a delicious salad of arugula and julienne apple. Another good salad combination is Belgian endive with oranges and bleu cheese. The disappointments are mostly from the "classic" part of the appetizer menu. A delicious salad of little gray shrimp fills a flavorless out-of-season tomato. Gray shrimp croquettes lack flavor, as does the endive soup with curry. Main courses, with a couple of exceptions, have been terrific. Waterzooi of chicken, a creamy chicken stew with vegetables, is textbook perfectflavorful chicken and nicely cooked vegetables in a creamy sauce. Beef stew made with beer is satisfyingly rich. A filet of cod, perfectly cooked, is served with Brussels sprouts and a salt-cod brandade. A high point of the menua dish Vandaele says he learned in a two-star Michelin restaurantis the veal sweetbreads, crisply fried and served in an intensely herby rosemary jus, accompanied by mashed potatoes and asparagus. "I know other ways to cook sweetbreads," Vandaele says, "but I like this one so much I'm going to leave it on the menu."

22. Michael Jackson's Beer Hunter - Ale And Hearty belgian cooking and its relationship with fine brews, are rooted in the country s culture. And not all Continental brews are lagers. http://www.beerhunter.com/documents/19133-000053.html

Search Beer Hunter: Ale and hearty Where France and Belgium meet, grapes, apples and cherries rub sholders with malting barley and hops; haute cuisine embraces Germanic heartiness; wine smooches with beer. Since the days of Andre Simon, most wine writers have shown an enthusiasm for good beer. So, these days, do the best of restaurant critics, usually ready to highlight a wine list that includes a decent brew or two. Of cookery writers, I am less sure. I was outraged the other day to hear Delia Smith offering beef in beer as simply a sixties dish. Sure, it used to be a dinner party stand-by in the decade beloved of all 50 somethings, but it is much more than that. And we use still, St. Delia, while wielding what looked like a bottle of Sainsbury's bire de garde, uttered the shameful suggestion: "Use a Continental lager: if in doubt, the one with the prettiest label." Delia, both cuisine and beer deserve a more respectful, discriminating approach. Would you, or any cookery writer suggest that even a simple dish such as coq au yin could be made with "any wine.., choose one in a nice bottle"? If you are, by the way. tempted to try coq to bire, I suggest a biere de garde, such as Sainsbury's. If you can find them, bires de garde such as Tres Monts or La Choulette are even better examples.

ESSENTIALS TRANSPORT DESTINATIONS HOSTEL REVIEWS ... Brussels Brussels EATING Although widely known for brussels sprouts, chicory (chicon in French and witloof in Flemish) is the main vegetable to gain prominence in Belgian cooking. Apart from chicory, brussels sprouts and french fries Belgium's national cuisine revolves around meat and seafood. However there is a large selection of vegetarian restaurants. The incorrectly named french fries must surely rank among Belgium's most universal contributions to modern culture. Because frites are cheap and filling, they are the staple food of most budget travellers in both Belgium and the neighbouring Netherlands. Fries (frites) are usually served in a paper cone and topped with mayonnaise, however an astonishing variety of other sauces are available varying from curry to satay and mustard. If you're preparing your own food the GB supermarket in the City 2 shopping centre is a good spot to stock up on groceries and it's especially convenient if you're staying at the Sleep Well hostel. DRINKING Belgium is the home of beer with over 100 breweries and over 500 different beers. Although there are some excellent lager beers such as Stella-Artois, it is the specialty beers for which Belgium is famous. Where else but Belgium could you try raspberry beer?

26. Jim Brown's Restaurant Guide The bar specializes in Belgian ales nearly a dozen are usually on There, you will find a delightfully eclectic menu that focuses on belgian cooking. http://www.audiosystemsgroup.com/restaurants.htm

Some of my Favorite Restaurants This list concentrates on restaurants relatively close to the center of Chicago that really offer something extra special to the out of town visitor (and even to natives). It is by no means complete you'll find a lot more good places listed in Zagat's and Chicago Magazine, but only about half of my favorites are in either of those very reliable guides! All restaurants listed take plastic unless otherwise noted. All have good non-smoking seating, and except as noted, all have good menu choices for vegetarians. Frontera Grill / Topolobampo Salpicon 312/988-7811 This family run gourmet Mexican restaurant is just over a mile north and a few blocks west (1252 North Wells), Salpicon is inspired by Frontera, and many locals think it's better! It's also much quieter and less crowded than its model, and so far, I've never had to wait for a table. Menu and prices are comparable to Topolobampo. During one of our visits a few years ago, master chef (and jazz fan) Charlie Trotter was entertaining a visiting chef from Spain at a nearby table. Need I say more? Non-smoking, and with an excellent wine list. Fiesta Mexicana 4806 North Broadway 773/769-4244 (next door to the Green Mill, a popular jazz club), this is much too far to walk from the Showcase, but worth the trip This is much more down to earth Mexican, but awfully good, and very inexpensive. For the cheapest great meal in town, try a Carnitas Super Taco, a small order of guacamole, and the fine salsa and chips. Or check out the garlic shrimp, swimming in butter and margarine; the excellent mole dishes. On weekends, there's a very nice seafood soup. The Dos Equis is cold. Fiesta Mexicana is also open late (2 am most nights). There's a tiny non-smoking section. There's also a second location at 2421 N. Lincoln, a few doors from the Biograph Theater. Vegetarian choices are non-existent..

Subscribe To the weekly Restaurant Report E-mail Newsletter Click here to join Showbiz Chefs by Barbara Ann Rosenberg I t seems one of the surest (and fastest) ways to become a celebrity these days is to become a media "star". Having your face on the tube or your voice on the radio (along with your name, of course) brings instant recognition. Cab drivers, doctors, lawyers, accountants and housewives all get friendly when you enter their sphere...that is, walk into their offices, enter their vehicles...or just walk down the street. Folks you've never met say "Hi"...and, in some extreme cases, occassionally even ask for your autograph. When this phenomenon is juxtaposed on the star status that many chefs have already achieved in recent years .on the strength of their cooking prowess (and their diligent public relations efforts) it just intensifies the celebrity madness. Chefs get frequently unsolicited calls from perfect strangers asking for (heretofore) secret recipes, tips on "how to" cook or bake or repair failed meals. It's part of the price chefs pay for achieving stardom in the media as well as in their own culinary domain. And many of them enjoy it....love it, in fact. The media "bug" bit Jim Coleman, executive chef at the Rittenhouse Hotel and Condominiums, "six or seven years ago, I believe it was," he recalls. Coleman was living in California then and plying his trade at the Resort at Toriey Pines in La Jolla, California.

By Hal Rubenstein W hen was the last time you came home, plopped your Prada computer case on the Barcalounger, turned to your beloved, and said, "You know, honey, I'm just dying for some Belgian food. How's about you?" Considering the relentless invocation of Audrey Hepburn as one of this century's high-water marks of style and taste, what could be more appropriate than gorging on the grub of her homeland? Could any opportunity offer a more fitting excuse to wear that little black dress? Besides, almost every other country's cuisine has already had its moment on the front burner. Zagat lists three other Belgian restaurants in New York. Not exactly the makings of a culinary juggernaut.

Dispatch/Argus file photo Dolores Bultinck, above, honorary consul of Belgium in Moline, represents the European nation's interests in Western Illinois, where many Flemish immigrants settled in the 1800s. The consulate in Moline's Olde Towne helps preserve the heritage of those early Quad-Cities' settlers. Ms. Bultinck, a retired Black Hawk College professor, was appointed by royal decree by the late King Baudouin to represent Belgium in Western Illinois the first woman in the United States to be appointed honorary consul. ``She is an elegant and charming lady with a keen sense of humor and a permanent twinkle in her eyes,'' present consul general Robert VandDeMeulebroucke of Chicago said. ``She can provide any information you need about Belgium and in Flemish, if necessary.'' As honorary consul, Ms. Bultinck issues passports and other official documents, attends official and social functions and provides assistance in genealogy, translation and education. She has arranged student-exchange programs and promotes Belgian tourism, Belgian-made products and Belgian cooking and rolle bolle, a Flemish sport introduced 75 years ago, which still flourishes in Moline and surrounding communities.

TM Bruges is Too Beautiful Romantic Retreats in a Small City By Marguerite Jordan When I checked into Hotel de Orangerie, a boutique inn in the heart of the old town of Bruges, I was forever looking over my shoulder for something to be wrong. Ever hear the expression, “The bride is too beautiful”? This thought popped into my head. Between the beauty of medieval canal city of Bruges, and the perfection of the hotel, I was sure there was a catch. For a two-night visit, I stayed at this fourteen-room canalside hotel and visited as well its sister property, Hotel de Tuilerieen, across the narrow canal. Both places would likely be considered five-star if they were to have on-site restaurants. Since they are located in the middle of the old town, there are many upscale places to eat within a few blocks. Both hotels have breakfast rooms that are small and comfortable. The coziness and richness of these two four-star hotels captivated me. A convent in the 15th century, Hotel de Orangerie has a prominent position on the canal. Ivy-covered in places, its façade is that of an old country inn, with handsome brick walls and chimneys that looked like illustrations from old children’s books. I expected to see storks or Mary Poppins or at least a chimney sweep or two. Everything looked unchanged for centuries. On the terrace bordering the canal, large fabric umbrellas shade small round tables, making it a very relaxing place to enjoy a drink, while watching the serene activities on the water. Boats float by, as well as swan and ducks.
