The menu leans heavily into traditional Belgian favorites, and that is exactly where La Dame Blanche shines. The Moules Vin Blanc arrived steaming hot with a delicate white wine aroma that instantly filled the table. The mussels tasted fresh and tender, while the broth carried a subtle richness that made every spoonful worth finishing. Right alongside it, the Croquettes de Crevettes delivered that perfect contrast between crispy texture and creamy filling. The shrimp flavor came through naturally, giving the dish an authentic coastal Belgian touch.
For seafood lovers, the Bouillabaise deserves special attention. The portion felt generous, and the soup itself had deep flavor without becoming too heavy. It balanced seafood notes with herbs and seasoning in a way that felt refined but still comforting. On the other side of the menu, the Chateaubriand brought something richer and heartier to the table. The meat was cooked carefully, tender throughout, and paired beautifully with a glass recommended from the restaurant’s great wine list.

Dessert ended the meal on a classic note with the famous Dame Blanche. Simple in concept yet incredibly satisfying, the combination of vanilla ice cream and warm chocolate sauce felt nostalgic and indulgent at the same time.
