Any place that has a beer book is alright by me. My parents and I ended up at Cafe Benelux for dinner
after a suggestion from some coworkers.
To drink I ordered a Bier Pallettes with 4 taster sized beers, all which
were great. As an appetizer we decided
on Pork Belly Sliders (my father wanted tater tots, I over-ruled). Served on pretzel bread with a cilantro
sesame slaw and a sambal
aioli they were delicious, the best part of the meal according to my
father. He eventually chose the
bier battered walleye, which he said wasn’t that great, he wished the fish had
been flakier. My mother went with the
kulminator, a grilled cheese with 4 cheeses, bacon, and tomatoes on 9-grain
bread. Following the waitress' advice
she got the farmhouse tomato soup. Both
were great, the soup having a perfect hint of basil in it. I fell for the basque mussels, steamed with
tomatoes, chorizo, chilies and scallions. They
were fantastic, actually fan-freaking-tastic.
I used the bread to soak up the leftover jus, then I used some frites
after that was gone, it was worth it.
Overall good atmosphere, good beer, really good food.
