More Brussels

This evening's food was supplied by Le Pre Sale on the Rue de Flandre, a little cobbled street that runs parallel to the fish market and where the quality of the restaurants is better and the prices are more reasonable. I think I took the last unreserved table and, for those without a booking, the place was turning people away from ~7:45pm. Beautiful fish [and chips!] and a real buzz - the place was heaving, the noise from the diners much too loud to drown out any musak...not that there was any...and the bill was very reasonable...for Brussels - even for those of us not on Commission expense accounts.
