chez Jeannine sur Bourbourg

10/07/2026: Found it quite unexpectedly, arriving after the midday serving had been completed, but we were welcomed in and helped ourselves to a delicious range of cold foods prepared as accompaniments to the main courses. They were fantastic, tasty and so healthy too. Highly recommend.

14/02/2026: Lost in the plains of maritime Flanders, near the Bourbourg Canal, in a sort of no man's land... a traditional Flemish pub, one of the few truly authentic ones still in existence... La Brique d'Or! With a certain aesthetic appeal, impeccable taste, and without ostentation... As for the menu... a real journey, featuring typical homemade pub dishes! But not only that... cassoulet, tagines, tripe with juniper and beer! Certainly among the best I've ever eaten! A delight! A great delight! Moreover, as is fitting in a true pub, a convivial atmosphere where everyone is welcome... Lovers, carnival-goers, and others, all with Betty's elegant hospitality! Elegance, aesthetics, and culinary pleasure... all without ostentation and with authenticity and refinement in every aspect... It's simply... classy! There's a beautifully produced book that lists the most charming Flemish pubs in the region, "Estam: The Soul of Flemish Pubs," by Gilles Guillon (text) and Denis Paillard (photographs). La Brique d'Or would certainly have a prominent place in this fine work, among the very best... such as Chez Léon, Kerelshof, De Halve Maan, the garden at Mont des Récollets, and many others... And I know a thing or two about pubs! Bravo and thank you for existing!
