In 't Spinnekopke

"In the Spider's Web" occupies a stagecoach inn from 1762, just far enough off the beaten track downtown to be frequented mainly by those in the know. You dine in a tilting, tiled-floor building, at plain tables, and more likely than not squeezed into a tight space. This is one of Brussels's most traditional cafe/restaurants -- so much so, in fact, that the menu lists its hardy standbys of regional Belgian cuisine in the old Bruxellois dialect. Stoemp mi sossisse is hotchpotch with sausage, and toung ave mei is sole. The bar stocks a vast selection of traditional beers. Tip: Just one click from the restaurant's home page takes you to a recording of Jacques Brel's beautiful song Le Plat Pays (The Flat Country).
