Alexandre – December 12, 2017

Alexandre

Alexandre was a very happy surprise. I was in Brussels unexpectedly for a few days and ran across Alexandre online while looking for a nice dinner spot. My intuition did not let me down. A fantastic meal. Every course was spot on. Both delicious, beautiful, and surprising. Everything I look forward to in a great dining experience. My companions may be have been having a bit too much of a good time as we got a couple of complaints but the staff were very hospitable and our merriment continued unabated.

Our suspicions of who narked on us were confirmed when I exclaimed during the cheese course, “I wouldn’t suck a dick for cheese but…” and a table of crisp businessmen all pivoted with angry faces. I hope these guys never attempt a nice meal in Italy.
