Thai/Laos streetfood Brussels
Teleport to Southeast Asia
Anyone who has ever been to Southeast Asia can remember the endless street food stalls with strong aromas and determined shopkeepers. If you're missing this while in Brussels, don't hesitate to go to the Parvis de St Gilles market on Thursdays! They have many stands, but my favourite is the Thai/Laos traiteur Bounthong Luangsouphom.
Sometimes, I take the time to sit down and take in the locals doing their weekly flower shopping or grabbing a quick bite for their families at home. Many of them come to this stand to get dinner to take away, especially on the many days it is rainy and grey in Belgium. I enjoy sitting on the iconic square plastic chairs with the fish and chilli sauce decorated plastic tablecloth.
I would recommend their homemade drinks and the deliciously fried Nems, but if you have more time, grab the chance to get a full Pad Thai or curry there! Watch out: CASH ONLY!

Hungry and thirsty
"Certo" in Brussels is a tiny Italian restaurant on a corner just behind Place Saint Boniface and one of my favorites. Federico Mazzoni is the perfect host!

Glacier Zizi
Best ice cream in Brussels
Even though it's a little out of the route for most, Glacier Zizi is definitely worth the detour! Ice cream, waffles, crêpes, smoothies... Your pick!

Sunset view Duden park
The best viewpoint around
I haven't yet been able to identify all the villages/churches marked on the small stone wall but I'm sure I will at some point!
