Looking for a good meal and a good cause to support? Be sure to check out Groot Eiland. This Brussels organisation is in fact a work experience project for long-term unemployed people. Groot Eiland gives them a chance and offers subsidised jobs and education in the catering industry or the joinery, and offers job coaching.
On weekdays you can go there for a cheap lunch, on Thursday and Friday they also serve dinner. An extra plus: most of their vegetables are organic and local, and come from their own garden. In short: a meal at their restaurant, aptly named Bel Mundo as they want to include everyone, cannot disappoint. Be sure to check out the specials of the day and try their cake.
On Sundays, they used to host Mary Pop-in and its 'magical brunch'. This non-profit organisation offers a delicious vegan buffet based on products that otherwise would have been thrown away. Most food they collect is donated to good causes, but a part is used to seduce our tastebuds to raise awareness for food waste. Highly recommended if you have a heart for food and/or people. The weekly collaboration between Bel Mundo and Mary Pop-in has stopped, but rumours say it may resume soon on a less frequent basis.

Tatar
Tartars in all forms and cocktails
Tatar was born with the intent to bring together a fine cuisine that mixes Mediterranean and Japanese tastes and mixology. Cocktails wise, I chose Osaka!

Certo
Hungry and thirsty
"Certo" in Brussels is a tiny Italian restaurant on a corner just behind Place Saint Boniface and one of my favorites. Federico Mazzoni is the perfect host!

Rambo

Les Petits Bouchons
Zwanze kitchen
"Les Petits Bouchons" is a typical Brussels bistro with a lot of wood, some mirrors and old-skool lighting. Zwanzers love it!

Glacier Zizi
Best ice cream in Brussels
Even though it's a little out of the route for most, Glacier Zizi is definitely worth the detour! Ice cream, waffles, crêpes, smoothies... Your pick!

Brunch and small plates to share
A simple but still refined style characterizes this café, which at night becomes a warm wine bar with small plates to share.
