Au Vieux Saint-Martin, Brussels

For a few years now, this has been the hang-out of the local beau monde (beautiful people). In this exquisite brasserie, where the decor shows very distinct accents from the seventies, Belgian culinary specialities are prepared according to the true rules of the art. And whilst you're enjoying the wonderful dishes, you can also enjoy the great modern art on the walls: the works by Alechinsky are original. The is is not only a hip place, it's also a great restaurant.
