The famous Brasseries Georges in Brussels is recognised by many restaurant goers as a veritable institution, offering a range of specialities that are hard to resist. Customers go there because they know exactly what to expect – great value for money in a very noisy atmosphere, and a pleasant feeling of satisfaction at the end of each meal.

Recently, however, the patron, Georges Neefs, has come up with a new idea which, true to form, he has been keen to put into practice both quickly and efficiently. He has decided to offer lovers of good quality red meat the opportunity to enjoy selected cuts which are rarely found on the menu these days: undercut of sirloin steak, the delicious beef araignée or spider (there are only two spiders, weighing around 300 grams each, on every tonne of beef), wild Spanish pig with black feet – la pata negra, not forgetting the famous Bavarian Siementhal beef, and the South American angus. Most of the meats are selected by the professional and passionate Luc Vanderbiest, and are served with large hand-cut chipped potatoes and tasty home-made sauces. In ‘Carnivores paradise’ – known as the ‘Royal du boucher’ – you will be served platters of above-mentioned cuts in generous portions for four gourmand eaters. At €39.90 per person, this is very good value for money.

KIOSQUE RATING
Plus points: the Parisian brasserie ambiance, the lively atmosphere, and generous-sized portions.
On the downside: service not consistent, noisy, and some customers a little overdressed.
