I was in Brussels centre with friends, and after a drink in St. Gery, we wanted to have food and they suggested Chou Sando, a small place near Boulevard D'Anspach. I don't particularly like Japanese food, but they made me curious, so let's go.
Sando is a nice nickname that the Japanese use for sandwiches. I love it! The bread is filled with veggies and/or meat or tofu. Each sandwich has a sauce that is more or less spicy. The portion is very large and filling. We also ordered a gyoza portion, which was very good!
They have various Japanese beers and soft drinks. I tried Ramune classic, which tastes like chewing gum, weird. But what's interesting about this drink is its bottle (called a Codd-neck bottle) that has to be opened in a specific way, and it has a ball inside that may stop the drink from being poured. Easier to try than to explain!
All in all, I liked the place and the food, and I'll surely go back to try different sandos! Just beware that it closes at 9.30 pm, and often they finish the bread well before the closing hour!

They serve New York style pizza, so thin and huge. You can choose among the classic Margherita, Pepperoni (with spicy salami), and the pizza of the month!

"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.

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...

"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.
