Hey, a buddy is going to be sending me some bottles from Belgium and I was looking for some shipping advice to make it as easy as possible for him. I assume BPost is the way to go? Also, it seems like they’re asking for pretty specific info when shipping to the US right now for the customs form. Using something broad like “collectible glassware” alone doesn’t seem like it would cut it. They want specific number of items, and a description for each. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Le Damoiselle is wonderful and they have some interesting loons. Great for lunch too.
La Piola Pizza has some amazing neopolitans.
Check out Modern Alchemist or Life is Beautiful if you want great cocktails after smashing lambic.
Might be worth checking out if there's a popup happening at Nightshop as well.
Liesse.bxl has a mirabelle plum lambic collab from Cantillon, the food looks good too.

Damoiselle, which Dave also suggested, would be my first choice but they're not open weekends?
D’oh, missed that part. Looks like it.
Thanks yeah we did this one last time! I remembered having the rabbit and a LPF there for dinner and it was great! Any other places? I think we also hit up Maison Antoine which was fun and was wondering if there was things like that closer. Had a car last time. Have dinner reservations back in Paris to cap it off.
As many others have, I’d recommend this after Cantillon for a 2€ DuPont Rédor Pils and a hearty meal. Take a lambic break.

Liesse is a good lunch and they have a couple exclusive lambic bottles too.
Fritland was right by where we stayed last time off the Grand Platz. It’s a a walk up, but if you want Frites, you cannot go wrong and it’s not terribly far.
I think we ordered wrong at Nüetnigenough because everyone loves that place, raves about it even, and it was our least favorite stop of the last trip. The food was just okay and our server was annoyed we ordered Fantôme. Sorry we came to Belgium to drink Belgian beer?
My food rec is and will always be Nordzee. It’s another walk up, but if you like seafood you will not have better fresh seafood on your visit. BYOB.
This might only be a dinner place now maybe from looking?
Sad. They used to do lunch weekends.
Fritland seems perfect for frities! Will be in Italy on the coast the following week, but will look at Nordzee. Thanks!
