Frommer's Highly Recommended

"Little Brussels" is just that, a home away from home for Belgian and French expats. The open-air restaurant's two stories are just off of Ba Trieu in the south end of town, and the building is tucked back away from the main street to slightly deaden the many beep-beeps. The menu offers good cold starters like fresh tomato with imported mozzarella and niçoise salad. The steak and chips with fries, chicken with mushrooms in cream sauce, and steak tartare top the long list of choices (and the effusive owner is always happy to spin up something special for you). Dessert is real French glaces, crème caramel, or fresh fruit. The downstairs open patio area with a bar is a great spot for a drink or a coffee and chat, and at night, with candlelight, the place is romantic. It's reminiscent of something like, well, a little street-side cafe in the heart of Brussels. The good hearty Belgian beer flows freely (but not cheaply), and special fondues are available for groups and parties.
