clever, colourful salads and daily specials: its also great for breakfast. There are various set options at 8.50 or you can pick and choose from a selection of breads and pastries, eggs, charcuterie and freshly squeezed juices. My Natural included a crunchy granola parfait with fresh fruit and creamy Greek yoghurt, and a basket of huge, soh slices of grainy bread served with organic jams. Warm apple juice with cinnamon and ginger had a delicious kick and good coee came with a thoughtful jug of steamed milk and a soh Amaretti biscuit that I had to save for later (if I ate any more, I might have actually needed that nearby medical help). Do you like hospital food? is traditionally a veiled threat: at Tasty it becomes a genuine invitation. Emma Beddington is a restaurant nerd, cake obsessive and self-confessed dreadful cook.

Its a hard sell, but bear with me and read on: it might just be good for your health. With two accident-prone sons, Tasty, on the ground oor of the busy Edith Cavell hospital, is practically my second home. Not that you have to be injured to go to there; this warm, bustling cafe-bar (plus bakery, newsagent and toy shop) has become a destination in its own right. With a blues soundtrack, a model train truck running along the oor and thrih-store chandeliers hung with soh toys, its a world away from the wipe-clean Formica and steel of traditional hospital catering. Unsurprisingly, the people-watching is superlative: there are elegant couples drinking fresh mint tea, exhausted medics in scrubs grabbing a sandwich, elderly ladies in hospital gowns deantly eating cakes they probably arent allowed and bandaged children enjoying a consolatory ice cream. - L ot DLU&n - MET0219-048 BREAKFAST_Brussels LGSF.indd 48 21/08/2012 11:31 :- : - o~ o| | :/ n NEW I N BRUSSELS / DU NOUVEAU BRUXELLES Le petit djeuner avec Emma Beddington gloires culinaires de Bruxelles, je mapprte suggrer un petit djeuner dans une caftria dhpital. Pas vident. Mais soyez patients et lisez la suite : a pourrait tre bon pour votre sant. Avec deux ls casse-cou, jai quasiment lu domicile Tasty, au rez-de-chausse du bourdonnant hpital Edith Cavell. Pas besoin dtre dans le pltre pour y aller, cela dit. Ce caf anim et chaleureux (qui fait aussi boulangerie, presse et boutique de cadeaux) est devenu une destination part entire. Avec son fond musical blues, son train lectrique sillonnant la pice et ses peluches suspendues aux lustres de rcup, lendroit est des lieues du formica aseptis de la caftria dhpital classique. Et la clientle vaut le coup dil : des couples lgants boivent un th la menthe frache, des internes puiss dvorent un sandwich, des vieilles dames en chemise de nuit savourent des gteaux en catimini et des enfants couverts de pansements se consolent avec une glace. Tasty propose toute la journe dnormes club sandwichs, des salades et plats du jour colors. Parfait aussi au petit djeuner. Il y a plusieurs menus 8,50 et une carte varie de pains et ptisseries, ufs, charcuterie et jus de fruit presss. Mon menu Nature comprenait une coupe croustillante au muesli, fruits frais et crmeux yaourt grec et une corbeille de grandes et moelleuses tranches de pain aux graines avec contures bio. Le jus de pomme tide la cannelle et au gingembre tait dlicieusement pic et le bon caf accompagn dun pot de lait mousseux et dun biscuit amaretto que jai d garder pour plus tard. La phrase Tu aimes les plateaux-repas dhpital ? est en gnral une menace ; chez Tasty, cest une invitation. Pitre cuisinire, Emma Beddington nen est pas moins passionne de restaurants et de gteaux.
