Ecuries van de Tram Brussels
Original bio market concept
What an interesting venue! The name says it all; “Ecuries” because these rooms used to be the stables of the horses pulling the tramways in the good old days, and “tram” because the whole building, owned by the STIB, is one of Brussels’ oldest tram “warehouses”. It’s still used as a tram depot, and it’s quite cool to be able to have a drink while looking at them through the windows.
Les Ecuries van de Tram is a local bio market/bar/social house at the very center of Schaerbeek. It’s a cultural project with a “slow-food” bio human spirit, where friendly merchants sell their ecological products. During the cold months, the Ecuries hosts the Apero du Parc on Fridays (at Parc Josaphat during nice weather months), and it is just the coziest and friendliest place to hang out. Enjoy the fireplace (I loooove fires during the dark winter months), the good music, the welcoming neighbors, and the industrial-brick vibe of the entire place. The only thing that's a bummer about the Ecuries van de Tram is their opening hours – there's so little of them! But they keep developing this creative concept, so hopefully they’ll extend that as well…

Certo
Hungry and thirsty
"Certo" in Brussels is a tiny Italian restaurant on a corner just behind Place Saint Boniface and one of my favorites. Federico Mazzoni is the perfect host!

"Les Petits Bouchons" is a typical Brussels bistro with a lot of wood, some mirrors and old-skool lighting. Zwanzers love it!

Glacier Zizi
Best ice cream in Brussels
Even though it's a little out of the route for most, Glacier Zizi is definitely worth the detour! Ice cream, waffles, crêpes, smoothies... Your pick!

Brunch and small plates to share
A simple but still refined style characterizes this café, which at night becomes a warm wine bar with small plates to share.

I haven't yet been able to identify all the villages/churches marked on the small stone wall but I'm sure I will at some point!
