Waterzooi offers patrons more than a dozen Moules Pots—massive cauldrons of steaming mussels piled high amid a sea of various sauces and creams, accompanied by frites and mayonnaise. From the Homard, consisting of creamy lobster sauce and scallions, to the Paella, featuring shrimp, crawfish, little necks, chorizo, chicken and rice in a saffron broth—the portions are both mammoth and delicious. Share a pot with a loved one or jump into one solo, joined by a few frosty Belgian beers, and thank the voters of Long Island for recognizing a true treasure.
