Parckfarm Tour & Taxis Brussels
Community driven greenery
Wouter from Brussels
Parckfarm is the real green deal: some artists, eco-minded architects and motivated locals took initiative and rebuilt an old site near an abandoned train track creating a community driven park. This redevelopment happened years ago and despite constant rumors that the park, its animals, the bread/pizza-oven, the kitchen garden, etc. would have to go, it is still alive and kicking. The city of Brussels is now planning all kinds of new projects in the area, but in theory the park, although smaller than hoped for, will remain untouched.
Because the main part of the park lies beneath most surrounding streets, it's an ideal hideaway from the usual city noise. A big slice of peace and quiet is not always guaranteed though, the people behind Parckfarm are an active community: in summer you might just stumble upon a lounge party, cooking classes or an open air yoga session, so checking out their website beforehand could be a good idea.
For the easiest access, take the entry right across metro Pannenhuis. The beating heart of the park is the farmhouse, where if you're lucky you can score some vegetarian snacks, 300 metres to the southwest.

Greek Delicatessen in Schuman
My favorite is Spanakopita, a buttery & flaky phyllo pastry with a filling of cooked spinach and feta cheese. For dessert I recommend a slice of Bougatsa!

La Boule d'Oro
Brasserie as good as gold
"La Boule d'Oro" is my personal no. 1 brasserie in Brussels. This corner cafe resembles my primary school cafeteria & has excellent Belgian food & beer.

In the city of the dead
The "Cemetery of Brussels" (opened in 1877) was designed as an English landscape garden - get lost among avenues and cobbestone streets here...

Le Monts des Arts
Magical sunset view
"Le Monts des Arts" is my favorite place in Brussels, as all my friends know already - especially the esplanade at the end of it. Just go at sunset...

Authentic Spanish meat
At España Calidade they hang around twenty types of dried ham on big hooks around the store, in between the huge paella pans and spicy peppers.

Théâtre l'Improviste
Creative evening ensured
They look at each other and then it starts right away, no time to think, they just do. What I love most is the conversations you have afterward...

Viva Lasagna
Mouthwatering lasagna
I especially love their chicken lasagna because it takes away a little bit from the heavy pasta dish but still fulfills all of your carb cravings...
