Lilicup Brussels
Cupcake heaven
Once upon a time there was a fairy who baked scrumptious cupcakes in all colours and tastes and children and adults alike loved them! The fairy part is not true of course, but all the rest is. The place is called Lilicup. It is a small outlet with an outsized smell that wafts out to greet you when you are still metres away. It is no surprise that children love the place, but adults can indulge too. Cupcakes, in fact, come in two sizes, large and small. And it’s not what you think: the children always pick the larger size!
At Lilicup you can choose to take the goodies home or eat them on the spot and wash them down together with a pot of tea or a cup of coffee. Their cupcakes may not be the cheapest in town, but once you sink your teeth into that soft icing, you will admit that one has to pay for quality.

Zinneke
The other statue
The "Zinneke" in Brussels is a statue of a dog that, to me, is an accurate symbol of my city with so many contrasts, but that likes to laugh about them...

La Cambre Abbey
Abbey, park and arts in the city
"La Cambre Abbey" is an abbey tucked away in a corner of a small square in Brussels. I'm sure most visitors never notice it. It's a precious gem.

Garcia
Portuguese pasteis de nata
"Garcia" in Brussels is the perfect café to have some pasteis de nata, the delicious Portuguese dessert. If I lived in Portugal, I'd be double the weight.

Parc Leopold
Little gem in the European Quarter
"Parc Leopold" is quiet, it's small and it's hidden. It's one of my favorite places to picnic in Brussels or to rest on one of the benches.
