Tom Algoet and his wife Sylvie Lecroart left their bistro in Mouscron behind and moved to the capital. Here, in Uccle, they opened “Les Petits Bouchons” in a former small house.<\/p>\n
Les Petits Bouchons is a canaille bistro, inspired by French rustic cuisine. The interior is homely, warm, and cozy. The chairs, wooden walls, mirrors, retro floor… everything exudes a relaxed vibe. There\u2019s no formal fuss here, but rather an ode to the authentic bistro.<\/p>\n
This easygoing atmosphere is reflected in the dishes. Tom doesn\u2019t use luxury products but cooks with simple, quality ingredients, often those considered second-rate, such as offal. Tom follows what the market offers. No fresh quality fish? Then there will be no ceviche.<\/p>\n
The dishes are flavorful and no-nonsense. Tom works with local products. For example, sardines are marinated in Lambic vinegar. Vol-au-vent comes with roasted lamb\u2019s lettuce. Tuna tartare is served with raspberry, samphire, and shiso. The merguez sausages, like the shrimp croquettes, are homemade.<\/p>\n
The menu changes regularly and is also very affordable. The drink list features a selection of beers from local and small-scale brewers, as well as a number of natural wines.<\/p>\n
