I haven’t spent much time in the city, so I wouldn’t know, but I have a great memory of the one time I was there.
I stopped in a little hole in the wall restaurant with 5 or 6 tables. I had a great lunch of white asparagus in butter with a boiled egg, some fantastic fresh bread, and a bottle of cheap white wine. The owner came out and asked me how I liked it. She told me something about how it was some Belgian traditional food - in her Texas accent. She had spent 30 years or so cooking in Texas, said she was on the Bush family domestic staff for a while. Nice lady. Great lunch.
