If you are looking for good cheese or charcuterie, Saint Octave is the place to find it. They offer artisanal cheeses and charcuterie and they want to highlight small farms that are committed to quality and tasty products. They choose their producers carefully and visit all of them to see how the products are made. It is important to them that the taste, the production and the finishing of the product comply to their own criteria.
Octave Laloux started this project with a small shop in the Marolles and has now 3 stores in Brussels with his partner Tom Flon. As the grandson of a butcher, he learned the trade at an early age.
You'll find a large choice of cheese, meat, wine and more. They are also famous for their raclette and fondue offer during the winter season. You can combine them with delicious charcuterie and wine to pair with. They also do special trays for events or others, just ask for their special offers.

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.
