Boos K'fe

When everyone in the US and in the Philippines was celebrating Mother's Day, my boys treated me to a Mother's Day Buffet Brunch in Boos K'fe, which was my restaurant of choice. :)

Every time we head to Strassen or go to Arlon, Belgium, we always pass by Boos K'fe. The place caught my attention a couple of months back because on Sundays, their parking is always full. They also have a resort-looking outdoor set up that can be seen from outside. I checked them out online one time to see if they are children-friendly before my gang and I trudge over there for a meal.

It was a gorgeous sunny day when we went there. As usual, the parking was full but they had valet parking that still had a few more vacant places and that's where we parked. We didn't have a reservation as it was a spur of the moment decision. Their outdoor tables were fully booked but they offered us a table indoors, which was almost vacant except for two other tables. Sadly, it was warmer inside while it was breezy outside. Well, that's the downside of not making a reservation.

Anyway, the place felt festive. There were lots of people, families, friends taking all the sun the day offered. The music was upbeat and beach-like. There were children running around and playing in the sandstrip barefoot, building a road-way in the sand. Waiters or Lifeguards as they called them were scurrying from one table to another from the kitchen. Some Lifeguards were offering customers outside straw hats as protection from the sun.

Since it was a sunny day, the buffet brunch had a barbecue grill with burgers, beef ribs, porkchops, pork ribs, chicken, and sausages. There was a table for desserts featuring flavored mousse, fresh fruit salad, muffins. There was also a set up for an English Breakfast with a variety of bread, eggs among other things and another table with cold salads, carpaccio, sushi. My eyes lit up and my appetite was extremely alert and excited. The repertoire of their buffet brunch barbecue didn't disappoint. It was delicious and yummy even to my Asian-trained tastebuds that often find European food bland.

When we had our fill, we transferred to a table outdoors where we sat on beach chairs, kicked off our shoes and let Polo play in the sand. We also took off Nicolo's socks and shoes and let him discover the feel of sand on his feet -- it was new to him. We chilled there for a while and allowed our skin to absorb the vitamin D our bodies badly needed.

The buffet set us back by thirty euros for the adults and half the price for the children. It costed much more than what we expected but it was worth it for a Mother's Day feast care of my boys.
