(31 Rue du Rollebeek in Brussels, Belgium)

La Tortue du Sablon restaurant is a famous homarium, or lobster house, right in the heart of Brussel...s. A nautical theme prevails, and quite right too, with scrubbed wooden floors, the remains of huge shelled creatures on the walls, and a ship’s wheel hanging from the ceiling. Inside you’ll find an intimate, smart, white-table-cloth setting while the terrace in front has a jauntier, more informal feel. Wherever you sit, you can choose from nine different preparations of lobster including La Tortue’s own grilled version and a warm edition Parisian Bellevue style. Fish dishes in general are a speciality, though meat-eaters are catered for, and, unusually, La Tortue has a strong tradition of game in season, with creations like six-spice duck with ginger sauce. Special groups up to 40 are made very welcome here. French wine list. On arrival, please inform the restaurant that your booking was made via toptable. Opening hours: Mon - Sun 12pm - 2:30pm & 6pm - 10:30pm [moreless]
