Belgium might not have had a fully elected government for over a
year now, but it can boast a first, a restaurant with a menu for
dogs - le toutou bar
(the doggie bar) in brussels is serving up
dishes destined to delight the palate of even the most discerning
dog.
just take a look at what's on offer - there's a choice of dishes
from pasta or rice to vegetables, beef or chicken - all of them are
high in fiber and low in salt - if that's left you feeling hungry
you can also tuck in because according to the website, "all dishes are also
suitable for human consumption."
"the world's gone mad," wrote marc isabeaux on the belgian daily
derniere heure's online forum - "in belgium, it's better to be a
dog than to be poor," said another - "we're being americanized,"
added someone else.
the owner brushed off such criticism as "griping from the usual
whingers," but did admit that clearing the tables once the animals
had finished had its disadvantages, "people don't usually throw
their plates on the ground," he said.
le toutou
bar will remain open throughout the summer
serving drinks and snacks to panting pooches and their equally
owners.
