"Chicago Café" is my favorite brunch spot in Brussels! They offer all-day breakfast & brunch and I recommend coming with friends - the portions are huge!

"Place Sainte-Catherine" is one of Brussels' most characteristic zones, and although tourists love it, locals love it even more for its versatility!
By
"Jardin des Sculptures" in Brussels is a little green oasis that forms a perfect combination of nature and arts. A true hidden gem...

"Madame Moustache" is a neo-cabaret in Brussels and my go-to place for drinking and dancing! I love its daytime terrace & and its variety of parties...
By
"Cement Truck" by Wim Delvoye is a unique piece that's a scaled-down model of a cement truck constructed in the Flemish Baroque style. An ode to opposites!
By
"Monk Bar" Brussels has it all: a very wide selection of beers, cocktails, a nice terrace, live music on Saturdays AND a spaghetti restaurant out back!

This place is definitely one of my favorites in the center of Brussels for when I'm looking for a moment of peace. I call it Les Maisons Blanches...

About me
I was born and raised in Belgium. At the age of 19, I moved to Brussels for my studies and absolutely fell in love with the city. I love Brussels both for its famous and touristic sites and its hidden gems. I really like to just leave my door and look for new places I haven't found or visited yet.
Other than that, I really love travelling and enjoying each moment to the fullest, whether it's in Belgium or on the other side of the world. My passion for travel also translates into my studies in Tourism and Leisure Management. I love to go off the beaten touristic track and that's also what I really like about Spotted by Locals!
Why Brussels?
What I like the most about Brussels is that (to me) it feels like a city with endless possibilities - nothing is too crazy! Other than that, I really enjoy living in a city that is such a mix of different cultures and backgrounds. These two qualities are very important to me and make it very easy to feel at home in a city.
I'm really passionate about my city and love to write about it. Finding hidden gems when you least expect it is such a great experience and sharing these with a community like Spotted by Locals is just wonderful to me. This way I want to add extra value to your visit to Brussels and I want you to see more than just the tourist highlights because the city has so much more to offer!
