Brussels - Belgium Travel guide
From its breathtaking medieval centre to its 21st-century temple to Surrealism, the new Magritte Museum, Brussels offers the visitor a great deal more than just beer and chocolate and is resoundingly unlike its unfortunate staid image as the home of EU beaurocrats.
Indeed, Brussels is a creative, dynamic city. Its compact city centre is clustered with bars, restaurants and museums set along cobbled streets. Inevitably, most tourists head to the Grand-Place. With its ornate Flemish guild houses, impressive Town Hall and buzzing atmosphere, it would be difficult to find a more beautiful square in the whole of Europe. It deservedly is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is the city's crowning jewel. Wander next to the nearby Royal and Sablon districts teeming with art galleries and antique shops. Throw away your map and meander down a myriad side streets,
discovering flea markets, art-deco houses and boutique stores.
Léopold II's Parisian-style boulevards (Belliard and La Loi) are lined with embassies, banks and grand apartment buildings, while Sainte Cathérine, the Art Nouveau district of St-Gilles and Ixelles draw an arty crowd with their eclectic shops and restaurants.
The Bruxellois take pride in their self-effacing, intellectual sense of humour, underpinned by a strong appreciation of the bizarre. The city has a long-running love affair with the Surrealist art movement, pioneered by René Magritte, and with classic comic strips, epitomised by Hergé's boy hero, Tintin. There's a telling irony in the fact that the city's best-known landmark is the Manneken-Pis, a tiny statuette of a urinating boy.
Meanwhile, all of this sits alongside world-class collections of art, fabulous cooking including mussels, frites, waffles and whelks, some of Europe's best and unique beers (literally, there are thousands of varieties), and master-chocolatiers. When it comes to this confectionary, it pays to ignore the well-known brands such as Godiva or Neuhaus, and seek out the stylish boutique of the trendiest 'chocolatier', Pierre Marcolini who cnce a year, creates a limited-edition design.
The city's cultural calendar is packed with events for everyone from the massive, raucous Foire du Midi street fair every July teeming with stalls and fairground attractions to the legendary Christmas Market that takes centre stage in the Place Sainte Catherine with 240 stalls, a skating rink, a big wheel, and numerous rides. One of the biggest events is Art Brussels, showcasing the city's edgier, creative side and a hub for art connoisseurs from around the globe.
If you're a Euro-loving national, check out the European Quarter, centered around Schuman and the Berlaymont. Its liveliest part is the Place du Luxembourg: all its bars fill up around 6pm on week days with some of the 20,000 diplomats, politicians and civil servants who reside in the city after Brussels became the centre of international political following WWII.
Easily accessible by train from other major European cities, Brussels is also the gateway for day trips to Amsterdam, Ghent, Luxembourg, Antwerp and Bruges, among others, making it a fabulous two-centre destination.

Brussels - Belgium Travel guide
The Brussels restaurants below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over €80)
Moderate (€30 to €80)
Cheap (up to €30)
These Brussels restaurant prices are for an average three-course meal for one with half a bottle of house wine or cheapest equivalent.
In Belgium, prices quoted on restaurant menus include VAT and service. Nevertheless, diners may round up their bill to leave a few extra Euros if the service is very good. Some restaurants close for several weeks in August.
Comme Chez Soi
Price: Expensive
The fame of this intimate little restaurant, decorated in Belle Epoque style, extends worldwide. Chef Lionel Rigolet serves exceptional French cuisine to justify its two Michelin stars. Specialities include fillets of sole with a mousseline of Riesling, or prawn and apricot soufflé with crunchy pistachios and red fruits. Advanced booking is strongly recommended.
Address: Place Rouppe 23, Brussels, Belgium
La Truffe Noire
Price: Expensive
Italian chef Luigi Ciciriello is passionate about his truffles, used in just about every dish at this one-Michelin-starred (but friendly) restaurant with an extensive wine cellar. Specialities include Carpaccio truffles with olive oil and parmesan, lobster risotto with truffles, and, for dessert, black chocolate truffle with spun sugar and raspberry sauce. Those with a passion for truffles but with less time to linger should head for the sister establishment, the cheaper L'Atelier de la Truffe Noire on Avenue Louise.
Address: Boulevard de la Cambre 12, Brussels, Belgium
La Villa Lorraine
Price: Expensive
This very smart restaurant, with impeccable, white tablecloths, has large windows overlooking a lovely garden where you can dine alfresco in summer. The cuisine, created by chef Freddy Vandecasserie, is classical French and specialities include sole Lorraine, broccoli terrine with wild asparagus, or lobster with turmeric and coconut milk accompanied by an excellent wine selection. The gracious private rooms are ideal for business lunches and special occasions.
Address: Avenue du Vivier d'Oie 75, Brussels, Belgium
Aux Armes de Bruxelles
Price: Moderate
While many of the restaurants in the winding streets surrounding the Grand-Place are tourist traps, this place is always a safe bet for traditional Belgian cuisine such as waterzooi (fish or chicken in a creamy soup with vegetables), oysters or mussels with chips and mayonnaise. The surroundings are crisp and unfussy and the service friendly and efficient.
Address: Rue des Bouchers 13, Brussels, Belgium
In't Spinnekopke
Price: Moderate
With a name that translates as 'In the Spider's Web', this is an extremely popular tavern-style restaurant, with a wide selection of local beers. Tempting menu items are available at very reasonable prices, including Flemish specialities such as waterzooi (a cross between a soup and a stew), poached kabeljau (cod) and mussels in a variety of sauces. Old beer posters and wooden benches add to the relaxed atmosphere.
Address: Place du Jardin aux Fleurs 1, Brussels, Belgium
La Quincaillerie
Price: Moderate
La Quincaillerie, one of the most renowned of the many restaurants clustered around the place du Châtelain in Brussels's Ixelles district, is always busy. Housed in a former ironmonger's shop (hence the name), the interior retains much of the original décor, including a wrought-iron staircase, designed by students of Victor Horta (Brussels's renowned art nouveau architect) in 1903. Specialities include shellfish, oysters and lobsters.
Address: Rue du page 45, Brussels, Belgium
Chez Léon
Price: Cheap
The Brussels branch of this popular Belgian chain is best known for its generous and authentic portions of moules frites (mussels and chips), although it also serves other traditional brasserie fare. It's a bustling place - the tablecloths are paper and everyone (staff and diners included) seems to be in a bit of a rush. It's a stone's throw from the Grand' Place, with outdoor seating in summer.
Address: Rue des Bouchers 18, Brussels, Belgium
