The Best Steakhouses Near Cul de Poule, by the Record

A butcher's counter near the open kitchen sets the tone at this Uccle steakhouse, where you pick your cut before it meets a Josper charcoal oven. The brasserie is sleek without being stiff, and the menu runs from classic Belgian vol-au-vent and filet américain to cured meats and crispy fries. Counter seats put the whole operation right in front of you, which is exactly where you want to be.

A glass-walled maturing room full of aging beef greets you at the door, which tells you exactly where you stand. This is a steakhouse built around Blanc Bleu Belge, the hulking Belgian breed the chef grew up with on his family's cattle farm. The cooking leans modern without losing the plot, and a cheese and dessert trolley still makes the rounds, bless it. Good country to be hungry in if you're passing through the Lake Donk area.
