Chicago Café Brussels

My go-to brunch spot

Charlotte from Brussels

About me I was born and raised in Belgium. At the age of 19, I moved to Brussels for my studies and absolutely fell in love with the city. I love Brussels both for its famous and touristic sites and its hidden gems. I really like to just leave my door and look for new places I haven't found or visited yet. Other than that, I really love travelling and enjoying each moment to the...
""Chicago Café" is my favorite brunch spot in Brussels! They offer all-day breakfast & brunch and I recommend coming with friends - the portions are huge!"

Welcome to Chicago Café, my favorite brunch spot in Brussels! Open every day, you can come in and enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, and homemade cakes and pies! Chicago offers all-day breakfast and brunch, so there is no time when it's too late to order breakfast. That's basically what Chicago is all about, you can have breakfast or brunch any day and at any time of the day. Wonderful, if you ask me!

For breakfast I would recommend the American or English breakfast if you're up for a classic, but if you want to go a little more crazy go for a salmon brioche bun or some benedict eggs. For veggies or vegans, there is also a wide range of good food to choose from! My go-to drinks here are homemade ice tea or a fresh orange juice to get in some vitamins at the start of the day! I would definitely advise going there on an empty stomach or maybe even sharing plates with friends or family as the portions are absolutely huge! At Chicago, you really get your money's worth of food.

In addition to the good food, Chicago also offers a really nice designed and cozy place to sit! The perfect place for a gathering with friends, some family time, or even a business meeting. Go and check it out for yourself!

Pssst.. looking for a place to have dinner: check out Chicago Trattoria for a delicious Italian dinner!
