Why the moules marinières
Same plate, other kitchens
Moules marinière: which one?
Le Zinneke and one other kitchen in Brussels all lead with it. What sets each apart, and who it suits:
Le Zinneke
This kitchenSchaerbeek (Place de la Patrie) · Menu checked Oct 2026
A named mussel grower, a big pot a head, homemade mayonnaise and dozens of preparations.
Pick it if you'd rather eat in a residential neighbourhood away from the centre, or try a less usual preparation, the Brabançonne with chicory or the Bruxelloise with Cantillon gueuze.
Sainte-Catherine (Rue de Flandre) · Menu checked Oct 2026
Four decades of mussels, with house-made shrimp croquettes before them.
Pick it if you're in the centre near Sainte-Catherine and want the classic marinière; phone ahead.
