Mamy Louise Brussels
Great lunch
Mamy Louise is one of my favourite spots for lunch whenever I want to treat myself to something special. It has a mixed clientele, drawing the practitioners of the legal professions from the surrounding area, older couples all pimped up for a day out in the city centre and interpreters from the European institutions chattering away in various languages. The restaurant offers a typical brasserie menu, which includes salads, pasta, choice meats and fish.
For me, however, what nails it is its display of freshly-made desserts, including a deadly tiramisu, scrumptious strawberries and cream and my favourite, the café gourmand. This is an option found in various Brussels restaurants where you get your espresso accompanied by a small platter of sweet tasters from different desserts. But even if you don’t, you still get a bite-size chocolate brownie with your coffee! Oh, and by the way, don’t forget to book in; Mamy’s food is appreciated by many and it only opens for lunch!

Chou Sando
Sandwiches Japanese style
Sando is a nice nickname Japanese use for sandwiches. I love it! Sandwiches have a sauce more or less spicy and are filled with veggies and/or meat or tofu.

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.
