About this spot
In the heart of Sainte-Catherine, La Villette serves up hearty regional classics like beefsteak « Sainte-Catherine » topped with paprika and tomatoes alongside seasonal mussels from Zeeland. Don't miss the unique home-made grey shrimps croquettes or the flaky pastry filled with snails and garlic butter for a true taste of Belgian comfort food.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra fries to go with your beefsteak, as they are essential for soaking up the rich cream sauces.
- Order the herring salad with Jonagold apples if you want a lighter option that cuts through the heaviness of the mussels.
- Save room for the abbey cheese croquettes, which are prepared by the chef using a specific local recipe.
