Wouter from Brussels
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.

Chou Sando
Sandwiches Japanese style
Sando is a nice nickname Japanese use for sandwiches. I love it! Sandwiches have a sauce more or less spicy and are filled with veggies and/or meat or tofu.

Zinneke
The other statue
The "Zinneke" in Brussels is a statue of a dog that, to me, is an accurate symbol of my city with so many contrasts, but that likes to laugh about them...

La Cambre Abbey
Abbey, park and arts in the city
"La Cambre Abbey" is an abbey tucked away in a corner of a small square in Brussels. I'm sure most visitors never notice it. It's a precious gem.
