JAT' Brussels

Pleasant café near the palace

Nettah from Brussels

About me I am passionate about cities. From the chaotic creativity of Asian metropolises to the elegant sophistication of ancient European capitals, I love the energy and dynamism of urban life.

This café, close to the royal palace and the Porte de Namur, is a good place to come and work or study, with its pleasant atmosphere and free wifi.

The range of drinks available is good and the coffee is not bad, although not excellent. It's a nicely decorated space with a mixture of comfortable chairs, sofas and traditional tables.

Its proximity to the park makes it a good choice also for take-away drinks on those rare, but thereby more fleetingly beautiful, sunny days in Brussels.
