About this spot
Nestled on the bustling Sainte-Catherine street, Bij den Boer delivers an authentic Belgian fish experience where you must order the Parqued Mussels and Royal Butter King Crab Legs immediately upon arrival. The kitchen excels at balancing rich truffle flavors with delicate seafood, making their Truffle Ravioli and Hooge Kraaier Oysters a perfect pairing for those seeking depth without heaviness. Finish your meal with the House-made Foie Gras or the surprisingly refreshing Colonel Sorbet to cut through the savory intensity of the fish plates.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the Soup of the day first to gauge the chef's daily catch before committing to the heavier crab or oyster dishes.
- Expect a lively, tourist-friendly atmosphere on Sainte-Catherine where seating is often limited and reservations are essential.
- Share the Butter Breton Rolled Kouign-amann with friends as it is too rich to tackle alone after a heavy seafood course.
