Flagey Market Brussels
A Sunday out
I have lived around Ixelles ever since I moved to Brussels, but only a few years ago I started going to the Flagey Sunday market regularly. In these few years I have noticed a slow drift from a fruit, vegetables and meat market to a gathering spot for the locals living in the area. And I love it.
I actually find myself looking forward to my weekly trip to the market.
At first, I checked the fruit and vegetable stall to do my weekly shopping. I skip the meat wagon, mainly because I don't like to stand in line to buy my roasted chicken. Next in line is the fresh pasta seller, where I chat with Luc about holidays and which kind of pasta I'll eat for dinner that night (I particularly love the agnolotti del plin). I can't miss Vasilis at the Greek stall for some feta and spanakopita. I buy Italian cheese and cold cuts chez Kosta. Finally, I buy a few kinds of olives and spreads, and then I'm ready for the biggest question of the day: what am I having for lunch?
It's not easy when you have African, Moroccan, Italian, Indian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, oysters and more to choose from. They are all good, and most of them even have tables and chairs where you can comfortably eat your food and drink the glass of champagne you absolutely need.
Now you see why I love my Sunday market?

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!
