‘Ballekes’ is the Bruxellois word for meatballs, and here’s an admirable, crowd-funded effort to turn meatballs into fast food, now with two outlets – the original (‘Janson’) in Saint-Gilles, south Brussels, and one in central Brussels close to the Grand Place. The limited menu offers pork/beef or chicken meatballs, or a vegan equivalent (sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts), with a selection of sauces – tomato, mushroom, beer, ‘lapin’ (a sweetish sauce made with Sirop de Liège, rather than rabbit) – served in cast-iron dishes on wooden planks, with chips and salad options. All are filling and delicious. Order from the counter, where a young and engaged team work in an open kitchen, and eat at wooden tables in the agreeable, black-and-white retro workshop-style dining area. The drinks menu includes wine and Belgian beers.
