Brussels has a lot to offer when it comes to shopping; like any big city, there are many large shopping streets and shopping centres. Unfortunately, these are the same ones you can find all over the world.
But there are also a lot of nice local shops with their own style and individuality. Reservoir Store is one of them, located a stone's throw from Place Flagey on Rue Lesbroussart. The shop is a little hidden behind bars and plants, don't expect to find an exciting shop window here.
Reservoir Store opened over 10 years ago as a sneaker store but has since evolved into a shop that offers a good selection of clothing and accessories for both women and men. The shop sells brands from all over the world and always provides the most trendy pieces.
They still have a selection of exclusive sneakers but opened a second store for a larger offer of sneakers around the corner, it's situated on Chaussée d'Ixelles 313. If you are in need of a new pair of trainers, this is the address to go to.

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.

There's nothing in Brussels like "Le Corbeau". It's a brasserie, a local restaurant/bar, but at night it becomes the opposite of Cinderella's fairytale...

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

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" 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.

"Bois de La Cambre" is the preferred spot for me on a sunny day in Brussels. There is more to this park than a spot to have a picnic.

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