Bistro Belge – Nostalgic Places to Eat in BelgiumAn ode to Belgium's amiable and authentic culinary heritage In Belgium, if you look hard enough, you can still find dozens of restaurants where time seems to have stood still. Most of them arent that well known, and thats a shame: these places really deserve to be cherished. Because they are witnesses of the past, with an interior that hardly has been touched for decades, and because they offer a taste of the cooking of olden days: hearty and heartily

An ode to Belgium's amiable and authentic culinary heritage

In Belgium, if you look hard enough, you can still find dozens of restaurants where time seems to have stood still. Most of them aren’t that well known, and that’s a shame: these places really deserve to be cherished. Because they are witnesses of the past, with an interior that hardly has been touched for decades, and because they offer a taste of the cooking of olden days: hearty and heartily food, with straightforward and pure flavours. In Bistro Belge, Toni De Coninck tells the story of these establishments, and of the people who work there.

He visited restaurants all over Belgium, from West-Flanders (’t Hommelhof in Watou) to Luxembourg (Le Moulin Hideux in Noirefontaine) and from Limburg (Tante 'auntie' Julia in Stevoort) tot Brussels (Le Taverne du Passage). He learned all there is to know about the history of these places and the families who run them, and also gathered some recipes of speciality dishes that have been prepared in the exact same way for generations. The photos in this book complement the texts; they immerse the reader into the warm-heartedness that is so typical of the Belgian culinary heritage.

Toni De Coninck is a writer and journalist, and the editor-in-chief of the online travel and food magazine june. He writes about all kinds of pleasant things in life, specialising in travel and gastronomy. 

In België zijn nog verschillende tientallen restaurants te vinden waar de tijd lijkt te hebben stilgestaan. Vaak zijn ze weinig bekend, en dat is zonde, want dit zijn plekken om te koesteren. Als getuigen van het verleden – want het decor is er de voorbije decennia niet of nauwelijks veranderd – én omdat je er het beste uit grootmoeders keuken kunt eten: eerlijk en puur, hartig en hartelijk.

In Bistro Belge vertelt Toni De Coninck het verhaal van deze restaurants en de mensen die er werken. Hij bezocht etablissementen van West-Vlaanderen (bijvoorbeeld ’t Hommelhof in Watou) tot Luxemburg (bijvoorbeeld Le Moulin Hideux in Noirefontaine) en van Limburg (bijvoorbeeld Tante Julia in Stevoort) tot Brussel (bijvoorbeeld Le Taverne du Passage). Hij leerde er over de geschiedenis van plekken en families, en kreeg soms ook een recept mee van een specialiteit die al generaties lang op dezelfde manier wordt bereid. De teksten en foto's in Bistro Belge dompelen je onder in de gemoedelijkheid die het Belgische gastronomische erfgoed kenmerkt.

Save your money!
Size: For 1998-2001 E46 Sedan 4-Door, Color: Chrome
Complete waste of money. I bought these specifically for my 2001 BMW 330i sedan and the fitment was terrible. Tabs don’t align, quality is poor and both grilles fall straight off. Definitely would not recommend!

Not an exact equivalent to the original two piece design
Size: For 1998-2001 E46 Sedan 4-Door, Color: Chrome
Not an exact equivalent to the original two piece design. It won't snap in place as a direct replacement and required some glue. Not sure how long that will last.

Nice for the price
Size: For 2003-2006 E46 2-Door, Color: Glossy Black, Size: For 2003-2006 E46 2-Door, Color: Glossy Black
Overall, super happy with it. Didn't expect much since a genuine one is 2-3x the price, but it fits decently (could be better) and isnt super flimsy. It isn't perfect, but its the best youre going to get without buying a genuine OEM one.

It’s just an air filter
Size: CA12290-Premium
It’s exactly how it’s pictured. Not sure what else to say it’s an air filter. I guess it’s doing its job
