I don't know why Yelp has this place listed as being French.  This is classic Belgian food.  There is no question about that.\n\nI went with the classic moules frittes.  And I was not at all disappointed.  The mussels were not overcooked and the the broth used to steam them was garlicky and rich.  The fries were hot and salty and came to the table in the classic funnel shaped server.  I started with something that was described by our server as clam stew, but it tasted more like Manhattan style calm chowder than stew.  It was good, but not spectacular.\n\nMy wife ordered an ample and beautiful frisee salad as her appetizer and the arctic char as her main dish.  The char came in two very large thick pieces and I am told it was spectacular.\n\nWe both tried different Belgian triples and the beer menu at this place was huge with lots of choice and this gave one the opportunity to compare similar types fro different purveyors.  The beers we ordered were delivered with glasses from the particular breweries they came from and they were terrific beers.  They were not cheap, but they certainly were good.\n\nThe meal came with nicer toasty sourdough bread which was a nice touch.\n\nUnfortunately we had quite a long wait to be seated, and the place was packed when we arrived, while we ate and when we left.  In an area of town with lots of trendy places to eat, that this place was so packed and had so many diners waiting is an indication of how popular it is.\n\nThe next time I go back to Madison, I will go back here.
