Description

This Belgian cafe known for great moules frites (mussels steamed in white wine and butter with fries) serves classic Belgium dishes like the croque monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich), salade Niçoise (tuna with green beans and boiled eggs) and entrées like filet mignon. You can have the Broken Spoke burger with grilled onions, jalapeños and mushrooms for lunch or dinner, and brunch on Sundays. There's good Belgian beers like Stella Artois and Chimay, and a 15 percent discount if you show up on a bicycle. You can get your crepe fix with several combinations, such as crepes with ice cream and chocolate sauce (crepe mikado) or crepes with brown sugar (crepe casonade).
