Is Rijsel worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Rijsel earns the hours.

Allow 1.5–2 hours.

Pared-back, slightly canteen-like room that lets the cooking do the talking — generous French bistro plates and a roast chicken that has a real following. Relaxed, neighbourhood, quietly excellent.
