À la Bécasse

Brussels


Almost hidden down a body-wide alley-tunnel, the Bécasse has long rows of tables that give it a certain Bruegelesque quality, even though it’s ‘only’ been operating since 1877. The unusual speciality is panaché, a jug of Timmermans lambic mixed with fruit beer or faro to make it more palatable. It's not to everyone’s taste.
