KFK Hope Brussels

Bar, concerts and events

""KFK Hope" is a central cafe/bar that brings all the locals together. A perfect combo of food, drinks and good music. Concerts on Wednesdays."

KFK Hope is one of those spots in Brussels you should not miss if you are looking for a perfect combo of food, drinks, and good music. Jean-Luc, the owner, is very kind, he runs KFK Hope together with his wife and son. The rest of the staff is also always very kind and ready to help. KFK Hope offers a wide selection of beers and the finest cocktails. They also serve homemade tapas and a delicious chili con carne.

Every Wednesday, there is a concert at KFK Hope. This happens upstairs, above the cafe. You can count on the nice vibes and young, upcoming talent! The space above the cafe can also be rented for parties or meetings.

KFK Hope is located less than 2 minutes away from la Bourse, a very central and easy-to-reach spot. KFK Hope mainly attracts locals - not many tourists come here. That's also one of the things I really like about this place. And between these locals, you have a very mixed audience. Young and old, students and workers all come together here during the late hours, speaking in so many different languages. This place really breathes Brussels vibes!

I personally like to come here with friends to have some drinks. Sometimes we'll go somewhere else afterwards, but other times we'll enjoy the nice vibes so much we end up staying here for the rest of the night. KFK Hope is a nice place to have a drink both on weekdays and during the weekend!

Les tartes de Françoise

Heavenly pies

At Tartes Françoises the pies look and taste homemade - they are to die for. My personal favourites are the banana bread and the mini gourmand.

Le Cercle des Voyageurs

Restaurant with character

In my opinion, there is no better place in the city center to enjoy a good glass of wine with a fine dinner at a fair price than at Le Cercle des Voyageurs.

Le Wappers

Untouched pub with live music

Le Wappers is one of those timeless neighborhood pubs where the tables and chairs have been polished by generations of locals and the TV is always on (unless there's a concert).

Le Canard Sauvage Brussels

Le Canard Sauvage

Restaurant and bookshop

The vibe is retro and boho, reminiscent of a canteen: parquet floor, recovered school tables and chairs, old fashioned posters.

Filousophe

Bar and events venue

The name is a play on the word 'filou' (crook) but I assure you that this place is worth its weight in gold.

Momade Cupcakes

My fairy-tale pastry shop

The display is adorable; the teal wall beautifully compliments the sofa overflowing with cushions, and the little alcove gives you all the privacy you need to indulge (i.e. stuff your face)
