Bistro Belge – Nostalgic Places to Eat in BelgiumAn ode to Belgium's amiable and authentic culinary heritage In Belgium, if you look hard enough, you can still find dozens of restaurants where time seems to have stood still. Most of them arent that well known, and thats a shame: these places really deserve to be cherished. Because they are witnesses of the past, with an interior that hardly has been touched for decades, and because they offer a taste of the cooking of olden days: hearty and heartily

An ode to Belgium's amiable and authentic culinary heritage

In Belgium, if you look hard enough, you can still find dozens of restaurants where time seems to have stood still. Most of them aren’t that well known, and that’s a shame: these places really deserve to be cherished. Because they are witnesses of the past, with an interior that hardly has been touched for decades, and because they offer a taste of the cooking of olden days: hearty and heartily food, with straightforward and pure flavours. In Bistro Belge, Toni De Coninck tells the story of these establishments, and of the people who work there.

He visited restaurants all over Belgium, from West-Flanders (’t Hommelhof in Watou) to Luxembourg (Le Moulin Hideux in Noirefontaine) and from Limburg (Tante 'auntie' Julia in Stevoort) tot Brussels (Le Taverne du Passage). He learned all there is to know about the history of these places and the families who run them, and also gathered some recipes of speciality dishes that have been prepared in the exact same way for generations. The photos in this book complement the texts; they immerse the reader into the warm-heartedness that is so typical of the Belgian culinary heritage.

Toni De Coninck is a writer and journalist, and the editor-in-chief of the online travel and food magazine june. He writes about all kinds of pleasant things in life, specialising in travel and gastronomy. 

In België zijn nog verschillende tientallen restaurants te vinden waar de tijd lijkt te hebben stilgestaan. Vaak zijn ze weinig bekend, en dat is zonde, want dit zijn plekken om te koesteren. Als getuigen van het verleden – want het decor is er de voorbije decennia niet of nauwelijks veranderd – én omdat je er het beste uit grootmoeders keuken kunt eten: eerlijk en puur, hartig en hartelijk.

In Bistro Belge vertelt Toni De Coninck het verhaal van deze restaurants en de mensen die er werken. Hij bezocht etablissementen van West-Vlaanderen (bijvoorbeeld ’t Hommelhof in Watou) tot Luxemburg (bijvoorbeeld Le Moulin Hideux in Noirefontaine) en van Limburg (bijvoorbeeld Tante Julia in Stevoort) tot Brussel (bijvoorbeeld Le Taverne du Passage). Hij leerde er over de geschiedenis van plekken en families, en kreeg soms ook een recept mee van een specialiteit die al generaties lang op dezelfde manier wordt bereid. De teksten en foto's in Bistro Belge dompelen je onder in de gemoedelijkheid die het Belgische gastronomische erfgoed kenmerkt.

Very strong construction--no plastic
Number of Items: 2
Expensive, but appears to be very well made. The lights are made of aluminum, so the support is sturdier than the usual plastic. The poles are in two parts, so you have a choice of heights the light is above the surface. Battery replacements are expensive, but you should get two years or more from a battery. You have a choice of a quite bright white light or a less bright yellow light.

Extremely Overpriced
Number of Items: 4
It doesn’t hold charge too long , especially if it’s not on a perfectly bright sunny day without clouds. Even at that , It will only be able to light up for maybe two or three hours at best , and not very bright at all. Construction and materials are of good quality that’s why the one start or else zi would gave given a zero if i could. it is way overpriced for what it is. I am disappointed for what I paid and the amount of production I get from it. Would have returned it if I haven’t installed them and threw away the boxes.
