More information on Scheltema

Of course, there's the Fish Market, but the best seafood in town is to be had in this side-street of Rue des Bouchers. Scheltema is expensive (but not more so than some chic junkyards just round the corner), but always packed: with business people, Eurocrats, local gourmets and snobs and tourists. The place is so delightfully noisy that your own little table becomes a haven of peace. Impressive food, and the bill only comes at the end.
