	Belgian cuisine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Belgium is a nation of "Gourmands" rather than "Gourmets" which translates into "big cuisine" rather than "fine cuisine." In reality this means that along with big portions, you get pretty good quality and a kind of unpretentiousness.
		The best place to enjoy Belgian frites is at a friture (frituur in Flemish, fritkot in Bruxellois, the Brussels patois) which is a temporary construction usually strategically placed in busy squares.
		Restaurants serving Belgian cuisine can be found in the Bourse area (Rue de Bouchers/Beenhouwersstraat - but the reputation of this extremely touristic neighbourhood is not very good) and in the Vismarkt / Marche aux Poissons area, near the church of St Catherine.
