📖

Full description

Het Zinneke is a slow-food Belgian restaurant in Schaerbeek where mussels are the headline, with reviewers counting over 60 different preparations on the menu. Visitors report returning more than once in a week to try different flavours, and the simpler fisherman-style versions are often judged the best.

The entrance is deceptive: the dining room runs deep and to the side, with wood panelling, gilt-framed pictures and a courtyard. Seasonal dishes such as white asparagus also draw praise.

At 4.3 from over 2,000 reviews and with booking recommended, it suits a couple's or small group's sit-down dinner or lunch.
