Elzenhof Elsene Brussels

Community house

Davy from Brussels

""Elzenhof Elsene" is an open community house in Elsene in Brussels run by a lovely, generous team. I love it. I'm sure at least one thing will speak to you"

Elzenhof Elsene is a Flemish open community house in the municipality of Elsene, run by a lovely, generous team. I love it.

The Elzenhof consists of a bar and garden. Nothing special there, if it wasn't for the fact that the organization's main goal is to let people meet and connect. Youngsters and oldsters, families and children. How? Activities. Lots of them. Allow me to sum up just a part of Elzenhof's plethora of activities ...

You can fix your broken down electr(on)ic equipment, bike, clothes, etc. in their ecological repair cafés. You can learn how to knit or just do some cosy group-knitting. You can do Tai Chi. You can try arts and crafts with recuperated materials. You can attend a music jam session. You can learn how to keep a city garden or how to do guerilla gardening (pretty awesome). You can play parlor games. You can watch or participate in poetry recitals. You can attend various lectures and debates. You can learn how to make limoncello. You can do yoga. You can have a drink in their bar. You can try yarn bombing in the streets. You can learn how to brew your own beer. You can breakdance. You can watch film classics. You can learn how to cook different cuisines. You can show off your own artwork in their art exposition. And much more...

I bet there's at least one thing of all of the above which speaks to you. So check out what's on offer in the agenda!

I can now read books in Brussels’ historical centre. I take my bike to go to concerts, museums, the theatre, parks and bars. I love being in a bathrobe. I try to write short stories and travel the world. Why Brussels? Although Brussels has some big and ugly skyscrapers, people are mostly down-to-earth. I can buy and eat snails on the street. I can go to the bakery dressed in...

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.

Garcia

Portuguese pasteis de nata

"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.
