The restaurants opened a week ago and I went for lunch with a colleague:
The Belgian prime minister bilingually posted about her own meal with her (Australian) husband. (More than one of my colleagues looked at the tweet and said they knew the restaurant - I have eaten there too, but only outside which is why I didn't recognise it!)

En ce 8 juin, l’#Horeca rouvre ! Nous avons profité avec mon mari d’un court instant dans la journée pour afficher notre soutien à ce secteur de la manière la plus simple et la plus conviviale possible: en partageant un bon repas. (📸 Photonews) pic.twitter.com/8SH5sT8oc8
