"Chef Robert Wiedmaier’s Belgian hot spot in Bethesda cooks 1.25-pound portions of P.E.I mussels a variety of ways: in white wine with roasted garlic, in a Thai curry, or in a Mediterranean sauce with merguez sausages, goat cheese, and smoked tomato. Frites with harissa, curry, and a malt vinegar aioli can be added for $1 more. The waiters also bring out warm crusty bread to dip in the salty broths. And of course there’s endless varieties of Belgian beers to sample, too." - Claudia Rosenbaum
