Dansing Chocola
Things get loose at this old-fashioned café, with staff grooving behind the bar or vaulting Tarzan-like up to the wrought-iron mezzanine railing to take orders from upper-level tables, while busking violinists serenade diners. Dishes - Belgian and a few international options like spicy Thai soup - are simple and incredibly filling (go for the 'small' portions unless you're ravenous), and there are sensational fries (around €3 for a bowlful). The kitchen closes at 22:00.

Berlin
Spacious brasserie underneath the police tower in St Andries, with bold design features and black and tan décor. Attracts an eclectic crowd from jeans-minded teens to the old lady who lives round the corner. Simple honest bistro fare is served, including homemade shrimp croquettes. Great place to drop in at any time for a drink, snack or meal.

L'Entrepot du Congo
The first bistro to open in 't Zuid and it still pulls the locals. Occupies a renovated stone warehouse and is noticeably less pretentious than other eateries in this area. Drinks are reasonably priced and the bistro-style food - sandwiches, pasta dishes, steaks and salads - is a cut above the average. The kitchen closes at 22:30.

Bourla & Mares
Excellent bistro-restaurant on a pedestrianised backstreet in the shadow of the Bourlaschouwburg. Ultramodern with a touch of antique and Art Nouveau. The cuisine is predominantly Italian with a seafood slant. Pop in any time - the kitchen is open from noon to midnight.

Pottenbrug
Vintage posters, cosy tables and a lovely alfresco terrace make this old bistro an enduring favourite for authentic and hearty local dishes.
