Théâtre l'Improviste Brussels

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..."

The first theatre in Brussels fully dedicated to improvisation! The Théâtre l'Improviste has set performances that are different every single evening. I love going here, even if it's something I have 'already seen' because it gets a new twist every time I take a look, that's the beauty of improvisation.

The actors on stage have a loose story they stick to but usually involve the audience at the start of every evening in the creation of the story. You can give your input and they will try to integrate it into the performance of that night. They look at each other and then it starts right away, no time to think, they just do. Extremely impressive job. What I love most is the conversations you have afterward. Because these aren't plays that are written and edited over and over again, there are even more interpretations than the works we all know and have seen adapted. It's a relatively low-key setting so the actors usually also have a beer in the bar with their friends but they are always open to talk about their performance!

Perché rooftop bar

Drinks with a view

The Perché rooftop bar is on top of the JAM hotel, which is why not many people wander up here, but it's so worth it! It has a great view and comfy chairs.

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!

Yamayu Santatsu

A Japanese corner

If you come with a group, I suggest taking the “Moriawase” (Japanese for “assortment”), a larger plate that is easier to share and to try different things.

REBEL Brussels

REBEL

Wild wines and nasty food

Peaking at my neighbors' plates, I decided to try the bass with garlic oil, ginger, and furikake, and the tartare de boeuf with pepper mousse and pickles on the side.

Shanghai Kitchen

Fine Chinese Cuisine

As a meat lover, I absolutely enjoyed the dishes based on Iberic pork, including the spare ribs and the Jiang Rou Bao, which literally melted in my mouth.

At Piola the specialty of the house is the “Siciliana o’ Cornicione” pizza, but it is only for the bravest: it comes with a ricotta cheese stuffed crust.
