About this spot
Madou's Folie delivers the chaotic, high-energy atmosphere of a true Belgian brasserie with a menu that prioritizes hearty regional classics over trendy fusion. Expect to be served massive portions of fried chicken or beef stew in a room where locals gather for loud debates and endless beer pints.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Frite' fries immediately upon arrival, as they are often best enjoyed straight from the fryer with your first round of beers.
- Save room for the thick, dark chocolate dessert that pairs perfectly with a glass of local lambic rather than sweet soda.
- Arrive early or expect a wait, as this Grand Place staple fills up quickly during lunch rushes and weekend evenings.
