What Citron presse is
Fresh lemon juice served with water and sugar.
Citron presse is listed as a drink in the Belgium guide, where the index tags it juice. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.
Where to find Citron presse
Citron presse is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Belgium. Look for a place that makes it in front of you rather than pouring it from a bottle that has sat all day.

Citron presse: common questions
What is Citron presse?
Fresh lemon juice served with water and sugar. It is listed in the TasteBridge Belgium guide as a drink.
How much does Citron presse cost in Belgium?
Expect the budget band: usually under US$8. Prices move with the city and the venue, so treat this as a planning figure rather than a fixed menu price.
Is Citron presse vegetarian?
Citron presse is not tagged vegetarian in our data, because the tag is aimed at dishes rather than drinks. A plain black coffee, tea or fruit drink usually contains nothing animal-based, but milk, cream, honey, egg white or a pre-mixed powder can change that, so ask what goes in the cup.
Where can I try Citron presse?
Our index lists it across Belgium, so it is not tied to one address. Ask locally which version is served at breakfast, lunch or late evening, because the same name can cover different presentations.
