Petite Abeille is a Belgian cafe chain around the city, and it's worth a visit. I've been to the one in Tribeca several times and have an excellent experience every time. Waiters are very attentive, seem to know their food if you ask for a recommendation, and they have excellent daily specials - usually a fish with potatoes and vegetables so you'll eat hearty, and have sampled all the major food groups! Every fish dish I have had here is excellent. Mussels are also great as is the salad nicoise, and the omelettes which change day-to-day. In nice weather, outdoor seating is a must. Otherwise, inside is very bright and cheery - just make sure to arrive early for lunch as the place is usually full before 1pm during the week.

Adorned with tintin paraphernalia, this charming restaurant is Belgian food at its best. The food is consistently delicious. Whether you go for brunch or dinner you will be satisfied. The omelette ardennaise, beef stew, belgian waffles, mussels are my favorites. They also have a kick ass hot chocolate. For lunch they have a half sandwich and soup special. For that I get the fresh mozzarella with sliced tomatoes. On certain nights they have a all you can eat mussel special. Call to find out ;)

The tiny location in the West Village is charming,quaint and offers a variety of tasty Belgian influenced dishes. I usually go for brunch when we're in NYC and I own one of their super cute t-shirts- we have belgian waffles and perfectly made oatmeal with berries. I know that dinner is very good- mussles, french fries, good beers and not to be missed chocolate mousse for dessert. Try other locations in Chelsea and TriBeCa as well.
