"Place Sainte-Catherine" is one of Brussels' most characteristic zones, and although tourists love it, locals love it even more for its versatility!

"Jardin des Sculptures" in Brussels is a little green oasis that forms a perfect combination of nature and arts. A true hidden gem...

"Cement Truck" by Wim Delvoye is a unique piece that's a scaled-down model of a cement truck constructed in the Flemish Baroque style. An ode to opposites!

"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.

"Monk Bar" Brussels has it all: a very wide selection of beers, cocktails, a nice terrace, live music on Saturdays AND a spaghetti restaurant out back!

"Madame Moustache" is a neo-cabaret in Brussels and my go-to place for drinking and dancing! I love its daytime terrace & and its variety of parties...

This place is definitely one of my favorites in the center of Brussels for when I'm looking for a moment of peace. I call it Les Maisons Blanches...

"Jardin Hospice" is a beautiful oasis quietly hidden in the heart of Brussels. Located in a historic building, it has been carefully & gloriously restored.

"Park Tour & Taxis" is the largest urban park developed over a century in the central area of Brussels.

The coffee is good, yes, and so are the pies! You could just stay there all afternoon having a tasty brunch, teleworking, playing games, and reading...

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.

The warm atmosphere and easy-to-share dishes mean this is a great place for groups. Do check their website beforehand as the menu changes every month.
