Missed this - where is that found?

 

In the little side street where the main entrance to the Delirium village is found. If you walk from the Groote Markt through the Rue de Bouchers, turn at the end to the left and walk maybe 30 m, there is the pub with all the monastery beers (can't miss it). Turn right, that's the street.

If you want to try another local neighborhood chocolatier, I suggest my favorite from when I lived nearbyy, Irsi, Rue du Bailli 15, off of Avenue Louise.

Very strange.   And with cooked egg.

Aah ... "américain préparé"

 

Without fries ?? Usually the put Worcestershire sauce, bit of mayo or egg yolk, brine from a jar of capers and a bit of tabasco. You should receive all these fixings on the side as well, together with minced raw onion and capers / pickles for mixing yourself.

 

The "salad in a glass" thing was big a couple of years ago, followed by the "soup in a glass". Haven't seen that in a while ...

Fries were had - they just weren't on the table yet

Unless it's a trick of the lighting, it looks like they need someone to teach them how to properly hard boil an egg.

I did have that thought too

Once you have a Negroni and a glass of wine - you forget to take a picture of your amuse - eggs with those little shrimp

Mushroom toasts

Steak with Bernaise 

 

 

 

and a second salad

Might be just me but your meals aren't jumping out and wowing me this trip.  And, yes, that green ringed egg was a surprise for sure.  Usually seeing what you eat has me greener than that egg!

Can I be the first to say, don't get saucy with me, bernaise!

The trick is to steam them rather than boil them. Steaming is a bit more tolerant on timing - and they peel easier.

I think the trick for accompanying américain préparé is to leave it uncooked and discard the egg white ...
