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"!
"Place Sainte-Catherine" is one of Brussels' most characteristic zones, and although tourists love it, locals love it even more for its versatility!

"Place Brugmann" in Ixelles, slightly off the centre of Brussels, is reminiscent of Paris. I like the independent shops surrounding it & the Sunday market!

"Le Pacific" in Brussels is a cocktail & beer place that really stands out. Here you need to go up to the barman and ask him to create something for you!

The "Cemetery of Brussels" (opened in 1877) was designed as an English landscape garden - get lost among avenues and cobbestone streets here...

"Gare Maritime" is one of those places that make you feel proud to be living in Brussels. It recently underwent full renovation and the result is remarkable...

The "Cemetery of Dieweg" in Brussels is overgrown with greenery since it was closed in 1958. Protip: visit one of my favorite hangouts in the city here...

My favorite is Spanakopita, a buttery & flaky phyllo pastry with a filling of cooked spinach and feta cheese. For dessert I recommend a slice of Bougatsa!
