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.
