Frommer's Review
This attractive restaurant in the city center features traditional Belgian cuisine gussied up just a bit. Mussels and eel assume several guises on the menu, and beef is also well represented. The specialty of the house is bouillabaisse, which claims to be for two but is actually enough to feed a family of five. If the prices here seem a little inflated, it's probably because of the excellent location; after all, this restaurant lies, as its name says, "in the shadow of the cathedral."

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
