  1. De Refugie

    Franco-Belgian French

    Sole sautéed in butter, a parsley-flecked butter sauce alongside, and fries that arrive hot enough to matter: this French-Belgian bistro in a quiet Tienen neighbourhood keeps its focus narrow and its technique sharp. The chef cooks everything to order, and the sauces alone justify the detour. It's the kind of unhurried, unshowy cooking that Franco-Belgian food nerds have been quietly visiting for years without telling too many people about it.

    One honor, in evidence:
