Let's first clarify what CHYL means; Change Your Lifestyle, Cherish Your Life... Granted, it may be a bit much just for brunch, but I like the idea. Chyl is a very cute café/restaurant/bio shop with an excellent plant game and a wonderful terrace to enjoy nice days. It's the kind of place you bring your girlfriends for a healthy brunch/lunch or to cure your hangover. Both the plates and the place are very colorful and joyful. It's a little cocoon of happiness during grey Belgian days.
I'm a fan of the decor; it reminds me of Marrakesh meets Scandinavia, with its healthy juices and copious brunches. A little Middle Eastern flavor and very fresh ingredients. Also enjoyable is the small bio shop where you can buy in bulk that has good products for kids as well as other cosmetics products. It is a two-in-one kind of place, in the prettiest atmosphere!
As they would say, "Let's Chyl today"!

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!

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...

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

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" 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" 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.
