Pitta Royal

Written by Ben on June 15, 2006 | Comments Off

Ok, Pitta is a Greek term yet this place is Lebanese. Noel, the owner, has been in Belgium for thirty some years and been in this particular shop for the last ten years. His talkative nature gets us listening to all of the subtle differences between the Lebanese, Turkish and Greek styles (giving us samples of each). And as you sit listening, the smell coming from the kitchen gets your stomach growling. The food is by far the best pitta I’ve ever had. The pitta bread is freshly cooked by Noel; the sandwich is served in a small stand to catch all the juices that would otherwise spill everywhere– the meats are that fresh; the spices tease the mouth.

The place is not in the central part of Brussels. I only ended up there because my host and I stopped for dinner before the evening’s gathering. At 324 ch. de Waterloo, 1060 Bruxelles, Belgium, I guarantee that no backpacker will be wandering by for a bite to eat. I’m glad that I got to go, but I get bummed because this place isn’t in the States.
