Monk Bar Brussels
Bar with a surprise in the back
Charlotte from Brussels
Monk Brussels has it all: a very wide selection of beers to choose from, cocktails, a nice terrace, live music on Saturdays AND last but definitely not least, a spaghetti restaurant in the back of the cafe! In the spaghetti restaurant, they serve their well-known signature spaghettis with special cheeses to choose from, like Orval. Ten years ago, the owner decided to change the smoking area of the bar into a spaghetti restaurant at the back of the bar, and it's been a real success ever since!
At the bar, you have so many beers to choose from. I would recommend trying some beers from the Brussels Beer Project (check Sarah's spot). If you're visiting Brussels, you have to try them! I would recommend trying Delta IPA for a real Belgian beer taste or Jungle Joy for those who are more into fruity beers. In addition to the wide choice of beers, they also serve delicious cocktails. Monk changes its cocktail menu regularly to give you some new options to try!
The bar also has an extra space upstairs that can be rented for spaghetti parties for any occasion. So if you've always wanted a spaghetti-birthday party, Monk Bar is the place to be!
Monk is the perfect place to have a drink with friends after school or work because of its extensive drinks menu - there's always something new to try! And in case you get hungry, a plate of spaghetti is never far away!

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.

Nona Pasta
Honest Italian food
"Nona Pasta" is my go-to place in Brussels for proper Italian food. Nona uses only organic Belgian ingredients because it's just better that way!

Coundenberg 66
Cool building in the center
"Coundenberg 66" Brussels is a magnificent building from 1898. It used to house La pharmacie anglaise de Charles Delacre and has many interesting features.

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.

Street Art
Brussels style
I have always appreciated the naughty murals spread all over the center of Brussels. This particular art piece stirred up quite the fuss...

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.
