Jackie Brussels
Cozy minimalist café
If the unpredictability of the weather in Brussels has taught me one thing, it’s to always have a backup plan for rainy, windy, and cold days. When it’s hard to even think about leaving your apartment on a Sunday afternoon because of the grey sky, but your FOMO whispers in your ear that you should be doing something anyway, a cozy cafe is a place you want to head to.
Jackie, on the busy street of Chaussée de Waterloo, is a minimalist café where you can enjoy a warm drink and unwind, reading a book or flipping through one of the Indie magazines they offer, including lifestyle and interior design ones. The simplicity of its decor, which also reflects on walls with neutral colors, will dip you in a calm atmosphere that will feel like a treat for your soul. The smell of toasted coffee and freshly baked pastry (including a carrot cake you will want to steal the recipe for), will make you want to hang out just a little longer. Laptops are only allowed upstairs, meaning the ground floor is stress-free, and no, you cannot bring your work here. But a book, a nice friend, and even your little pet are all more than welcome.
One more reason to get your next coffee at Jackie? They also have a small shopping corner, where you can get a pack of coffee or your new stylish travel mug everybody will envy at work.
For a weekend (but not only) reset.

You order a bouillon, which can have different bases, meat or veggie options. Add the sauces, what you would like to eat and then the magic happens.

Splash away
Piscine l'Espadon has three pools; a normal one, a small one for kids and even a mini heated one for babies and toddlers, with slides!

CHARDIN
Salty waffles and tasty burgers
The crispiness of the chicken perfectly matched the softness of the freshly made waffle, and the teriyaki sauce was just the “savory” cherry on top.

Joseph Marien Stadium
Art Deco in sport
"Joseph Marien Stadium" in Brussels doesn't look like a stadium - it's another Art Deco building that fascinates me with its long, beautiful facade.

Altitude 100
Highest point in town
"Altitude 100" in Brussels is a fascinating place in the commune of Forest in Brussels. I like it's a church in the center of a big roundabout!

Greek Delicatessen in Schuman
My favorite is Spanakopita, a buttery & flaky phyllo pastry with a filling of cooked spinach and feta cheese. For dessert I recommend a slice of Bougatsa!

La Boule d'Oro
Brasserie as good as gold
"La Boule d'Oro" is my personal no. 1 brasserie in Brussels. This corner cafe resembles my primary school cafeteria & has excellent Belgian food & beer.

Le Monts des Arts
Magical sunset view
"Le Monts des Arts" is my favorite place in Brussels, as all my friends know already - especially the esplanade at the end of it. Just go at sunset...

Théâtre l'Improviste
Creative evening ensured
They look at each other and then it starts right away, no time to think, they just do. What I love most is the conversations you have afterward...
