Summary: Authentic French bistro vibes.
Saint Boniface, a cozy eatery in Ixelles, brings the quintessential French bistro experience to life with its checkered tablecloths and regional specialties. The walls adorned with posters and the ambiance set by French tunes create a welcoming atmosphere. The menu, reminiscent of a gastronomic tour through France, features traditional dishes such as poached eggs 'en meurette', pike dumplings with Nantua sauce, Parisian-style calf's head, and as suggestions, the confit duck or Castelnaudary cassoulet stand out. It's no wonder that European district officials often drop by for the attractive lunch offerings. The bistro's charm is further enhanced by its tightly packed tables, a collection of biscuit tins, and the sounds of French songs and jazz, inviting locals to indulge in specialties from the Basque Country, Lyon, and Southwest France. With favorites like calf's brain and tartare sauce, duck leg confit, veal sweetbread, and kidneys, Saint Boniface promises an authentic and heartwarming dining experience rich in regional flavors, complete with a quaint courtyard setting.
