Delicatesse Declerc will offer you all the cheesiness you've been missing in the heart of Ixelles. Soft creamy, old, blue, any type of cheese you might think of you will be able to find it here. On top of that, the multilingual shopkeeper pours his heart into every order. Ask him what his favorite of the day is and he will happily chat with you about his passion.
Is cheese not really your thing? He also sells some charcuterie and even pre-made apéro like boulettes, cheese fritters, and more. Jam from the local farmers and some other goodies can also be found here.
I usually pass by on the weekend after my trip to the Asian store opposite Declerc where I stock up on curry paste and cooking wine. Then I make a little neighborly chat half in Dutch, half in French about events coming up like Eurovision, the football World Cup final, or big film festival down the street and feel like I can almost call myself a real Bruxelloise.

The coffee is good, yes, and so are the pies! You could just stay there all afternoon having a tasty brunch, teleworking, playing games, and reading...
by
At Tartes Françoises the pies look and taste homemade - they are to die for. My personal favourites are the banana bread and the mini gourmand.
by
The warm atmosphere and easy-to-share dishes mean this is a great place for groups. Do check their website beforehand as the menu changes every month.

People come to Caberdouche for the atmosphere, homemade food, the terrace, and for the beer menu, which includes carefully selected, original beers.
by
This cosy bar serves carefully selected wines, and specialty cocktails made with a local Belgian liqueur (Eau de Villée), as well as beers and other common drinks.
by
Boasting buckwheat pancakes (filled with ham, cheese, egg, or mushroom), dry sausage, country-style pâté, and terrine, the menu even includes gluten-free options.
by
In my opinion, there is no better place in the city center to enjoy a good glass of wine with a fine dinner at a fair price than at Le Cercle des Voyageurs.
by
Le Wappers is one of those timeless neighborhood pubs where the tables and chairs have been polished by generations of locals and the TV is always on (unless there's a concert).
by
The name is a play on the word 'filou' (crook) but I assure you that this place is worth its weight in gold.
by
The vibe is retro and boho, reminiscent of a canteen: parquet floor, recovered school tables and chairs, old fashioned posters.
by
The display is adorable; the teal wall beautifully compliments the sofa overflowing with cushions, and the little alcove gives you all the privacy you need to indulge (i.e. stuff your face)
by
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.
