Lunch is where a city shows its real character. In Hasselt that means a spread from quick-and-light to the obligatory frites — none of it precious, all of it dependable.
Pick by appetite and how much time you have.
Light and quick
When you want to keep moving between museums, go for soup and light plates rather than a full sit-down.
The Belgian classic
You cannot leave without proper frites at least once. Casual, cheap, correct.
Sit down and take your time
If lunch is the plan rather than a pit stop, a relaxed bistro does the job.
Coffee after
Round it off where the coffee is good and nobody minds you lingering.
