You're hungry as a bear or eager to score a meat overdose? Head for the best rib thing in town, Amadeo.
To tell you a little secret, I personally don't like spare ribs at all, but when asked to accompany friends or family to this charming all-you-can-eat rib place I don't have to hesitate a single second. It's a pleasure already only to sit and absorb the unique atmosphere created by the walls made out of books and jazzy thirties music. I usually go for a steak or grilled shrimps and wait for my friends when order again and again and even more.
Also worth mentioning are the boiled potatoes delivered with a delicious sauce and the enjoyable house wine that gets billed per consumed finger. There is a big bottle on the table and they just measure how much you drank.

"Le Balmoral" Brussels started back in '89 as a milk bar and today it looks more like an American diner. I always feel like I've gone through a time warp.
