  • Belgian Fried Chicken Mondays

    First Monday of the Month

    Our next BFC is March 2!
    This month Hopleaf’s kitchen has chosen to pair the BFC with St. Bernardus!

    March’s version includes: Black garlic marinated W/ tahini-brown sugar waffle, st bernardus braised collards and black eyed peas, lentil squash puree, brocolli taboulli and pickled aji dolce peppers. $18. Pair it with St. Bernardus for an extra $5.

    It’s the First Monday of each* month —Belgian Fried Chicken Night! You might not find fried chicken on many menus on Brussels, but you might wish that you did after tasting this! It’s not historically a staple of the Belgian culinary scene, but we thought we’d change that. The preparation changes from month to month.  (*any exceptions will be announced)

    Offered at dinnertime, which starts at 5.  But don’t wait until too late; these dishes are popular and tend to sell out early.
