Begin your meal with the exquisite Escargots — tender snails bathed in rich garlic butter and sprinkled with fresh parsley, served alongside crusty bread to soak up every flavorful drop. For a lighter start, the Veulemans Salad is a refreshing blend of succulent shrimp, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, creamy avocado, and cucumber, tossed in a zesty dressing that awakens the palate.
main courses
Dive into signature Belgian specialties such as the iconic Mussels in White Wine, where fresh mussels are steamed in a fragrant broth of white wine, onions, celery, and butter, accompanied by perfectly crisp French fries. For meat lovers, the Steak Tartare "C'est Nous" offers a finely chopped beef dish seasoned with egg yolk, capers, onions, parsley, and a blend of spices, delivering a raw yet richly textured experience. Another highlight is the Beef Carbonnade Flamande, a comforting stew slow-cooked with tender beef, onions, and aromatic beer, enriched with bread and butter to create a hearty, flavorful classic.
desserts
Conclude your culinary adventure with the decadent Crêpes Suzette, delicate crêpes flambéed in a luscious sauce of orange liqueur, fresh orange juice, butter, and sugar. This dessert perfectly balances sweetness and citrus zing, creating a memorable finale to your meal.
