Restaurants
Belgium’s best known dish is french fries. You can get the best in little cabins in the streets, known as ‘frituur’. Most of them stay open very late. There are lots of restaurants in the city, but be careful because, some of them are pricy. Here are some of our favorites:
Da GianniGraanmarkt 5 - 8500 Kortrijk Phone: +32 (0) 56 22 35 95 Serves the best Italian food in the city, the restaurant is located right in front of the Center Hotel. |
Pizza HutGrote Markt 32 - 8500 Kortrijk Phone: +32 (0) 56 25 66 90 The only fastfood restaurant in the town center, located on the ‘square’. Sorry, no Golden Arches in town. |
