Au Bon Bol
Brussels, Belgium
The read// why locals go
Au Bon Bol is a small noodle house on Rue Paul Devaux, a minute from the Bourse, where the dough is pulled by hand behind the counter. The kitchen keeps to one thing and does it properly: bowls of hand-made Chinese noodles in broth, plus a short list of plates that change little from year to year. Brussels food writers keep sending readers here as the cheap eat you order without looking at the menu, and the room is small enough that the noodle-making is part of the experience. Prices sit at the low end for the city centre, which is a large part of why locals keep the address to themselves.
