Insider Dining Tips
•The Platform Belgian Café Basics
•Start with a Belgian beer pairing recommendation from your server before ordering food - The Platform's staff know their brews perfectly.
•Traditional Belgian meals follow a pattern: appetizers (often cheese-based), hearty mains, and indulgent desserts.
•Share "moules-frites" (mussels and fries) as a communal starter - they come in generous portions ideal for the table.
•When ordering waffles for dessert, ask for the Liège style (denser with pearl sugar) rather than Brussels style for the authentic experience.
