3. Best fast food in Brussels: the irresistible fries of fritland

Leaving Brussels without trying its famous fries would be a crime and Fritland is one of the best places to do it. Small fast food restaurant in the center of Brussels known for its fries, but they do almost everything. His fame has reached the point where there is almost always a line. The service is fast, so you won't have to wait long.

You can opt for a potato cone (it comes in different sizes); with sauces or try its jewel in the crown: the machine gun, a sandwich with the most varied ingredients (meat, potatoes, vegetables and sauces). It costs €5.

4. The famous Maison Dandoy waffles

Do you want sweets? So, don't think about it and come to the Fast Food of the Dandoy house to try their waffles. They're not the cheapest in town; but they are highly recognized by the locals for their sumptuous tastes. However, you should know that being quite a famous place, there is often a queue, but nothing that cannot be tolerated with a little patience.

Moreover, the reward is delicious. And we admit that this is nothing compared to the kitchen services offered there. A sacrifice that will not be without utility. Average waffle price: €6-7 (with 1 topping), €6,7-7,7 (with 2 toppings). You can choose the type of waffle you want: the one from Brussels is longer and crispier, the one from Liège is rounder and sweeter.

Where to find them : Rue Charles Buls, 14 / Rue au Beurre, 31 / Galerie du Roi, 2

5. The top of the pizarria at Pizza Saco – Cheap pizzas to die for! 

You couldn't miss a recommendation to eat a good pizza, so here it is: try Pizza Saco. It's quite expensive for a pizzeria, but the ingredients are of high quality and the result is excellent. The buffalo pizza is recommended; with buffalo mozzarella, tomato and basil.

If you want cheaper options, the ham pizza is €10 and the margarita €9,50. The bad (or good, according to its appearance); is that it is far from the tourist areas. But located in a very original setting.

It is known for its fish and quality seafood and not expensive. The menu is quite extensive, although you cannot fail to try one of the house specialities, namely the mussels (they cost around €7). The fried calamari is also delicious (5€).

The only downside is that there is not much space: the tables are outside and you have to eat standing up… it's a bit uncomfortable if you kicked a day or so. 'it's not nice. But if the weather is nice and you want to grab a quick bite, this is a great option!

8. Fast Food: Horia, an inexpensive Lebanese restaurant in Brussels

And we end up with this Lebanese restaurant; which brings a little piece of the Middle East to Brussels. If you have never tried this cuisine, one idea is to opt for a different “menu”.

The best thing is that the products are organic and the dishes are homemade.
