Authentic Belgian fare: mussels, frites & extensive Belgian ales
"A Barracks Row pioneer, Belga Cafe attracts crowds for pots of mussels and frites. During warmer months, head to the rooftop and hit up the Betsy. Named after chef Bart Vandaele’s favorite pet chicken, the bar specializes in gin drinks." - Tierney Plumb
"Head over to Barracks Row for a Christmas Eve and Day dinner at this Belgian mainstay. Beginning at 4 p.m. both nights, expect oysters Rockefeller (half oysters, spinach cream, oyster sauce gratinee) and Maine lobster salad (warm capelli d’angelo pasta, lobster, lemon mosto oil, petite fleur, yuzu gel, caviar)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"At Belga Cafe, its Thanksgiving dinner to-go highlights their signature herb-crusted, stuffed turkey breast. Pre-order meals here or by calling the restaurant directly. Meal sizes for 2-4 people costs $175, $165 for 4-6 diners, for 8-10 people, $395. Each dinner comes with six savory sides. Add ons like homemade pumpkin cheesecake and chocolate desserts are also available to order. Pickup times are from 10 a.m. to noon on Nov. 28." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Chef Bart Vandaele’s package satisfies diners of all sizes, whether you’re hoping to impress with a whole turkey (serves 8-10), modest stuffed turkey breast (serves 4-6), or a roasted chicken for two. Whatever chosen, it comes with five sides, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry jam. Place orders by November 20 for Thanksgiving Day pickup between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m." - Vinciane Ngomsi
