...Beer in Brussels and Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium, to celebrate the country's 175th anniversary. So if you want to salute the tipple before year's end, Delirium Café, on Impasse de la Fidélité, just off the main restaurant drag of Rue Grétry, is a great place to start. Serving over 900 of the nation's finest brews, revered for their strength and diversity, and with a menu as thick as a phone book boasting these as well as more than 1,100 beers from 60 other countries, this cellar...

Encountering a lousy meal in Paris, of all places, is a tragedy--but fortunately, one that is easily avoided. Chef Yannick Alléno is a rising star at the Versailles-like Le Meurice in the Hôtel Meurice (228, Rue de Rivoli). There, relishing dishes like poularde de Bresse stuffed with foie gras (and an amazing cheese cart), I felt as pampered as a Parisian lapdog. At a fraction of the price but still a good value, Chez Paul (13, Rue de Charonne) delivers lace-curtained, cassoulet-slinging bistro fare. Georges, the whimsical Philippe Starck-- designed restaurant atop the Pompidou...
