We are looking for a restaurant on the Friday evening, centrally situated, which which does good French/Belgian cuisine and which is not too expensive (less than 25,000 belgian francs [$75, 50 pounds sterling] per person including wine).

Try In 't Spinnekopke. Lots of good things, including house specialties prepared by Chef Jean Rodriguez, a master of "cuisine a la biere." http://www.spinnekopke.be/ > As it's the first anniversary, I'd like to push the boat out, but not sink > it! I think you'll find that this place fits the budget at good prices for the quality on offer. You could also drop in to the only truly worthwhile place in the "Ilot Sacree", Aux Armes de Bruxelles, also an easy walk from the Grand' Place. Better yet, make a reservation first, although I've managed to get a party of four seated without one. http://www.armebrux.be/abe.html
