Toucan Sur Mer, Not A Resort, The Place for Wine and Oysters in Brussels

December 11, 2010 by serge the concierge

Want to feast on oysters with a good bottle of wine to wash them down, Toucan sur Mer is not a resort yet the place has a relaxed seaside atmosphere to it.

Amongst the oysters they offer Belon No 5 from Cadoret, Colchester Naze, Normande Helie, Fine de Claire Barrau, Spéciale de Quiberon Keraliou, or Spéciale Gillardeau...and what they claim as their exclusive for Brussels: the Black Pearl which I have not tasted.

Toucan

Browse through the wine list and you will see all regions represented.

From the Loire for example:

Pouilly Fumé - «Silex» Didier Dagueneau 07 155,00

Anjou - Mosse René et Agnès 07 39,00

Montlouis « Le Rocher des Violettes» Xavier Weisskopf 07 39,00

Quincy « Vignes d’Antan » Dom. Jacques Rouzé 08 35,00

What would oysters be without Muscadet? Check the board for Muscadet of the moment.

If a meat eater who does not eat seafood tags along they could always try one of the 2 meat dishes, the Beef Tartare.

(* Prices are in Euros of course)

Made with Tahitian vanilla and mangoes plus coconut milk, it has a tropical vibe to it and should clock lower on the calorie count than say, a Buche de Noel made with buttercream. I also like the look of their...

Being invited to a party, feeling obligated to bring a gift of a certain value (I mean price), shopping for gifts during the holidays, all this can be very stressful and end up taking the fun out of giving. You don't need to turn into Scrooge. Making some of your decorations, giving a second life you objects, even toys like Legos, baking cookies, creating your cards, being crafty can bring back the joy of gifting...
