About me
About me
I am William, born in Bruges in 1987, raised in Ghent and now I've been living in Brussels for 10 years.
I work for a hospitality company with venues all over Belgium as a field manager and am responsible for the client experience in our venues.
My 2 biggest passions are football and music. During my free time, you'll find me either in a football stadium or at a concert.
I love city trips, and my favorite city (after Brussels) is London.
Why Brussels
Brussels is the capital of Belgium and Europe. It has this vibe that you can't describe if you haven't lived here. I think Brussels offers the best of the 4 major cities around us (London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin) in one.
It's a vibrant city, where nobody takes him or herself too seriously. It can sometimes be a little chaotic and feel like nothing is under control, but I think that's how a big city should be. I like it a lot when you're surrounded by crazy creative and fun people who decide to take life as it comes and enjoy it that way.

Tero
Small plates to share
"Tero" in Brussels is so much more than a restaurant - it's a philosophy. It offers tasty, natural cuisine that follows the seasons!

Certo
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!

Les Petits Bouchons
Zwanze kitchen
"Les Petits Bouchons" is a typical Brussels bistro with a lot of wood, some mirrors and old-skool lighting. Zwanzers love it!

Rambo
LA-style smashed burgers
"Rambo" in Brussels will make you feel like you're in LA. Loud music, an open kitchen and three amazing types of burgers!

Belga & Co
Coffee roasters
"Belga & Co" in Brussels is one of the city's great coffee places. Everything made in-house, friendly service, big window, no frills - just good coffee.

Flamme
Restaurant & deli
"Flamme" in Brussels keeps it simple: here you'll find an assortment of sausages prepared in front of you on the grill, above the fire...
