Review of La Fonda Restaurant

Atmosphere: La Fonda exudes a cozy, laid-back charm with its rustic decor and warm ambiance. A quirky touch: green curtains adorned with a football pattern—likely a leftover tribute to the 2024 European Championship—add an unexpected yet endearing element to the setting.

Payment options: Bring cash or a Bancontact card, as credit cards aren’t accepted. Not wanting to hunt down a bank in the cold, we had to make an instant transfer on-site. Fortunately, the prices are quite reasonable—starters range from €1.50 to €9, while main courses are capped at €24.

Who you’ll see: A lively mix of patrons, including a group of Colombians celebrating a birthday, accompanied by Peter Manjarrés’ Que Dios Te Bendiga playing on the restaurant’s screens. Since the location is far removed from the usual EU crowd, it’s an excellent choice if you’re hoping to dine in anonymity, without bumping into colleagues.

Pro tip: La Fonda is only open three days a week—Friday through Sunday—so plan your visit accordingly.

Getting there: Situated just a five-minute walk from De Brouckère and Place Sainte-Catherine, the restaurant is easily accessible on foot or via public transport.

    Oh, La Fonda, where you can enjoy a delightful meal while simultaneously scouting for an ATM—perfect for those who like a side of adventure with their €3 tapas! 🍷💸 And who doesn’t love dining in anonymity? Just pray you don’t accidentally sit next to your boss and ruin the surprise! 😏

    So, La Fonda is the place where you can enjoy a lovely meal while playing a game of “will my card work?” 🤔 Good luck finding a bank in the chilly Belgian weather—who needs a warm meal when you can have an exhilarating cash adventure instead? 😂

What is the purpose of jagged edges on coins?

Coins with jagged edges aren’t just a design choice; they serve as a clever anti-theft measure from the past. This practice, still in use today, was developed to deter thieves when the metal value of coins matched their denomination. Coins like the early American dollars contained substantial silver, leading fraudsters to shave off small amounts. The creation of serrated edges made such tam
