Street Art Brussels

Brussels style

"I have always appreciated the naughty murals spread all over the center of Brussels. This particular art piece stirred up quite the fuss..."

Street art is booming all over the world. I don't know much about it to be honest, but I have always appreciated the comic murals spread all over the center of Brussels.

Not long ago, there was a lot of fuss going on in the street art world as a new mural had appeared in Brussels. On the side of a house, right next to a very busy roundabout, there was a giant penis! Now this has been removed, but for those who like this kind of shocking mural, do not worry, Brussels won't let you down!

Head to Avenue Louise 53 and look up to your left on the other side of the roundabout along Avenue Louise. There, up high, you will see a woman with her legs open and masturbating! Some people say this is from Bonom, a very famous artist around here, but nobody knows for sure.

In the center there used to be an anus in Steenkoolkaai, and there is still a slaughtering scene in Boulevard Barthelmy close to Porte de Flandre. What's happening with the street art in Brussels?

If you are interested in more, there's the possibility of going on a graffiti tour (unfortunately only in French) or a DIY tour following this website. I recently discovered this new website with all small and big murals all over the center, I'm soon gonna head on a tour to discover all the sculptures by Isaac Cordal!

Chez Monsieur Yang

Chinese Hot Pot

You order a bouillon, which can have different bases, meat or veggie options. Add the sauces, what you would like to eat and then the magic happens.

CHARDIN

Salty waffles and tasty burgers

The crispiness of the chicken perfectly matched the softness of the freshly made waffle, and the teriyaki sauce was just the “savory” cherry on top.

Altitude 100 Brussels

Altitude 100

Highest point in town

"Altitude 100" in Brussels is a fascinating place in the commune of Forest in Brussels. I like it's a church in the center of a big roundabout!

Joseph Marien Stadium Brussels

Joseph Marien Stadium

Art Deco in sport

"Joseph Marien Stadium" in Brussels doesn't look like a stadium - it's another Art Deco building that fascinates me with its long, beautiful facade.

Greek Delicatessen in Schuman

My favorite is Spanakopita, a buttery & flaky phyllo pastry with a filling of cooked spinach and feta cheese. For dessert I recommend a slice of Bougatsa!

Théâtre l'Improviste

Creative evening ensured

They look at each other and then it starts right away, no time to think, they just do. What I love most is the conversations you have afterward...
