International Dinner - Belgian

Join the Newport Jaycees for delectable Belgian food and beer at Brussels Bistro in downtown Laguna Beach.

From the restaurant's Web site (www.brusselsbistro.com): "At Brussels Bistro, you actually feel like you are in Brussels. You are surrounded by the culture and the bon vivant atmosphere. You experience traditional Belgian dishes, savor authentic cuisine, and, of course, enjoy a vast array of Belgian beers. The menu at Brussels Bistro was created with a passionate Belgian savoir faire and promises to tickle your taste buds: savory pommes frites (world-famous Belgian fries) and their sauces, delicious Belgian cheeses, Flemish asparagus, tasty cheese croquettes with gray shrimp from the North Sea, traditional waterzooi from Ghent, tender salmon with cherry beer, and out-of-this-world mussels are a few items on our unique menu."

(Note: I've heard they have good burgers, too.)

On Friday and Saturday nights after 10:30 or so, they put away the dinner tables and clear the floor, the DJ arrives, the lights go dim, and then the party starts.

Feel free to join us just for dinner, or stay for dancing as well.
