""Le Petit Canon", close to Place Flagey in Brussels, is a little bar I just like everything about - ideal for coming with a friend and talking all night!"

There is no shortage of places around Place Flagey to have a drink. What differentiates them is of course the quality of the place. I have been a great fan of Le Petit Canon for years. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s not directly on Flagey that makes it more enjoyable, but every visit there has been consistently lovely.

The small sunny terrace in the summer, the cozy and intimate interior in the winter, the surprisingly affordable prices of drinks, the excellent selection of wine (as expected when you go to a wine bar!), the tasty homemade snacks (which change according to the season)... I like everything at Le Petit Canon.

This is a place to come for a date or with a friend and talk all night. It's also enjoyable during the day for a coffee. Le Petit Canon is just the perfect laid-back place, especially if you are looking to relax with a glass of wine and rillettes.

Les tartes de Françoise

Heavenly pies

At Tartes Françoises the pies look and taste homemade - they are to die for. My personal favourites are the banana bread and the mini gourmand.

Le Cercle des Voyageurs

Restaurant with character

In my opinion, there is no better place in the city center to enjoy a good glass of wine with a fine dinner at a fair price than at Le Cercle des Voyageurs.

Le Canard Sauvage Brussels

Le Canard Sauvage

Restaurant and bookshop

The vibe is retro and boho, reminiscent of a canteen: parquet floor, recovered school tables and chairs, old fashioned posters.

Momade Cupcakes

My fairy-tale pastry shop

The display is adorable; the teal wall beautifully compliments the sofa overflowing with cushions, and the little alcove gives you all the privacy you need to indulge (i.e. stuff your face)
