About this spot
Le Vieux Mila brings the vibrant heat of Cameroon's street food scene directly to Saint-Gilles, where you must order a plate of fried plantains with spicy fish or chicken stew. The kitchen specializes in authentic palm-oil stews that are thick, rich, and far superior to the bland versions found elsewhere in Brussels.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for your rice or fufu on the side before it gets soggy from the sauce.
- Bring cash only; this spot rarely accepts credit cards despite its popularity.
- Save room for a sweet banana cake served with coconut milk at the end of the meal.
