Cache-Pot Brussels

Coffee and green fingers

"Extra large coffee and delicious pastries will keep you warm and comfortable while the many plants and pots on display (also for sale!) calm your soul and tickle your brain."

If you're looking for a safe haven where you can hear yourself think and relax, this is it. Extra large coffee and delicious pastries will keep you warm and comfortable while the many plants and pots on display (also for sale!) calm your soul and tickle your brain just enough to put anything that happened during the day into perspective.

In mild weather, take your drink through to the rear terrace, with its rustic pallets and (you guessed it) plants offering a welcome respite from the urban jungle outside. I like to go there for lunch: the soup of the day and the sandwiches are fantastic. I also enjoy browsing through the shop and its cute pots - perfect for presents or for your own home!

As a bonus, you can practice your Dutch with the owner who, judging by the funny tags on each plant, has a good sense of humor (my favorite: 'ha ha ha ha I will survive' tagged to a particularly resilient plant!).

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 Brussels

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...

Le Corbeau Brussels

Le Corbeau

Fun dancing on tables

There's nothing in Brussels like "Le Corbeau". It's a brasserie, a local restaurant/bar, but at night it becomes the opposite of Cinderella's fairytale...

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.

Bois de La Cambre

Preferred spot for a sunny day

"Bois de La Cambre" is the preferred spot for me on a sunny day in Brussels. There is more to this park than a spot to have a picnic.
