De Karmeliet is one of Belgium’s three-star Michelin restaurants and is the Mecca for Belgian food lovers, who dream of eating there once in their lifetime. It is top of the top, Belgian cuisine at its finest, and probably the best Belgian restaurant, so that means the best kitchen in the world. It lays not even 5 minutes away by foot from the large medieval market square. Only for real gourmets (150,00 euros/person) and for those who want to sweep their partners off their feet. They offer an introductory menu for 50,000 euro, but this is without the (expensive) wine. This short menu is not served on Friday and Saturday night or on Sunday. Note: Belgians go and eat the short menu for lunch, rarely for dinner, at such a restaurant, because we want to stay at least three to four hours at the table. So we take the five-course menu at night.
The next day, go and have a packet of Belgian fries with mayonnaise -- very good too, and it balances out your wallet.
