Brasseries Georges Brussels
Seafood haven
André from Brussels
Brasseries Georges is one of the veritable culinary institutions of Brussels. Sitting opposite the Bois de la Cambre, in the upmarket quarter of Uccle, Brasseries Georges is equally known for its fresh shellfish stand --including mussels, oysters, shrimps and lobster-- as for its variety of beef cuts. The menu even includes a drawing of a cow, explaining where the different cuts come from. I particularly like their fried potatoes, cooked in duck fat. Admittedly it might not be the healthiest option but they are tasty!
Brasseries Georges also boasts a classy interior, decorated with mahogany bars, shiny copper railing and large wall mirrors, dating from several decades ago when it first opened. It also has a nice terrace where the shellfish stand is usually displayed.
One thing I like about this restaurant, apart from the consistency in the quality of its food and service, is its long and continuous opening hours. There aren't that many places in Brussels where you can expect to order proper food continuously from lunch all the way to dinner. And to top it off, it comes with a voiturier service, so you don't even have to worry about parking before digging in!

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.

Nona Pasta
Honest Italian food
"Nona Pasta" is my go-to place in Brussels for proper Italian food. Nona uses only organic Belgian ingredients because it's just better that way!

Coundenberg 66
Cool building in the center
"Coundenberg 66" Brussels is a magnificent building from 1898. It used to house La pharmacie anglaise de Charles Delacre and has many interesting features.

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.

Garcia
Portuguese pasteis de nata
"Garcia" in Brussels is the perfect café to have some pasteis de nata, the delicious Portuguese dessert. If I lived in Portugal, I'd be double the weight.

Parc Leopold
Little gem in the European Quarter
"Parc Leopold" is quiet, it's small and it's hidden. It's one of my favorite places to picnic in Brussels or to rest on one of the benches.
