After l'Amour Fou, we went for Le French Kiss. This restaurant is located in Jette, close to Place Reine Astrid. The Michelin guide awarded restaurant French Kiss a "Bib Gourmand" (along with a dozen other restaurant in Brussels), which means that they offer "good food at moderate prices." This translates into a 3-course meal for €35 or less.

Here are some pictures of the interior
The place was almost full, with mostly elderly regulars (we were probably the only ones under fifty:)) who knew the waiters by name. Decoration was somewhat basic, with lively colored paintings against brown brick walls.
We ordered the two different set menus on offer.
Some olives, bread and butter to nibble while waiting for the appetizer
Menu "Suggestions" at €35
Tartare aux deux saumons & foie gras, crème aigrelette à l'aneth
Pavé de thon rouge au pesto, tomate mozzarella gratinée, pomme au four
Fraises au sabayon, glace vanille
Menu de la Semaine at €25
This menu had two options for the appetizer and main dish. No choice for dessert.
Velouté d'asperges aux St Jacques rôties
Brochette d'agneau, salade grecque, pommes frites. In the picture, the lamb looks like some charcoal - it was actually good and grilled à point as I had asked.
Glace vanille aux cerises Amarena
Le French Kiss offered us a pleasant lunch. The menu was quite traditional with Belgo-French classics. The food served was good and plentiful, and the service was polite and efficient.
The €25 set lunch menu offers a good deal. Bravo to Le French Kiss for offering their weekly lunch menu also on Sundays, which is quite rare in Brussels. The €35 menu was good, although given the big portions, a main and dessert would have been more than enough.
Here's my advice: if you've never been to Jette, go for a stroll during the Sunday market around Place Reine Astrid then stop by restaurant French Kiss for a good, hearty and affordable Belgian lunch.
