About this spot
à l'Ombre de la Ville is one of the best spots in Flagey & Ixelles, Brussels. Belgium punches absurdly above its weight in food — beer, chocolate, frites, waffles, and some of Europe's best restaurants.
💡 Tips before you go
- Belgian beer is a religion — ask the bartender to match a beer to your meal
- Frites with mayo, not ketchup — this is important
- Waffles: Liège (chewy, sugary) for the street, Brussels (light, crispy) at a café
- Service is included — no tip math needed
