Bistros are remarkable in that they somehow manage to be both fancy and casual at the same time, much like a necktie with Taz on it. Feel gussied up without too much fuss with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of Belgian fare and beverages at Waterzooi Belgian Bistro, located in Garden City. Waterzooi takes visitors on a jaw-powered journey across the Atlantic with lunch, brunch, dinner, and lounge menus loaded with classic dishes and Belgian specialties. Occupy your gastro-apparatus with a meaty masterpiece or some of the restaurant’s famous mussels—of which it’s served more than 2.5 million pounds—and pair any entrée with a glass of wine, one of more than 130 Belgian beers, or a deliciously saucy limerick of your own invention.

Reviews

Waterzooi Belgian Bistro is Zagat-rated with a 23 for its food, 18 for décor, and 19 for service; Yelpers give it a near-perfect 4.5-star average: > * Mussels ala Brussels (with apologies to Jean-Claude van Damme) served numerous ways, incredible fries and Blue Moon beer! The best of all worlds! – StevenL8793, Zagat > * The various [sic] mussel pots are excellent and I can’t stop eating the aoli that comes with the fries. – CarmelaC1245, Zagat
