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.

Sando is a nice nickname Japanese use for sandwiches. I love it! Sandwiches have a sauce more or less spicy and are filled with veggies and/or meat or tofu.

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.

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.

I have always appreciated the naughty murals spread all over the center of Brussels. This particular art piece stirred up quite the fuss...

"Garcia" in Brussels is the perfect café to have some pasteis de nata, the delicious Portuguese dessert. If I lived in Portugal, I'd be double the weight.

"Parc Leopold" is quiet, it's small and it's hidden. It's one of my favorite places to picnic in Brussels or to rest on one of the benches.
