Cabaret Mademoiselle Brussels
Burlesque
André from Brussels
Cabaret Mademoiselle is one of the latest additions to the Brussels nightlife. This burlesque bar is smack bang in the middle of the LGBTQ district and is run by the performers themselves.
Don’t, however, imagine for one second that this is a seedy place or that it caters only for the LGBTQ circle. On the contrary, every time I have been there, I have always been amongst a young, hip crowd that cheers the drag queens good-naturedly during the half-hourly shows. The performances are very interactive, entertaining and funny. You can tell that the artists put a lot passion in them and enjoy the show. This translates into a unique, cheeky and good-humoured interplay with the audience!
My favourites are La Veuve, who comes on stage complete with a well-trimmed beard and Loulou Velvet, whose sexy contours make my partner envious! And boy, you should see the dresses these drag queens put on and how they carry them!
Entry to the Cabaret is free, though the performers do come around the crowd for a well-deserved collection half-way through the evening.

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.

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

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.
