Instead, for 30 eurocents, Quick restaurants have clean toilets (with an active dame-pipi and not the ones who just sit on her chair knitting).
Plus, Quick restaurants are spread all over the country. :)
In Leuven, you may head to QUICK restaurants centrally located :
*Fochplein 1 - 3000 LEUVEN
Pic of St-Peter's church was taken from Fochplein so I guess you can locate the restaurant.
OK... For those who don't know, Quick is a Belgian chain of fast food, quite developed in Europe. No mussels and fries there but rather hamburgers and fries. OK.. you name it, like McDo. A bit cheaper, I think.
I am not advertising about Quick. But I noticed that their toilets are clean... It's up to you to have hamburgers or taste local food. Read my restaurant & shopping tips and you'll know there are better things to try than hamburgers. :)
And they are OK too in the central Library of KUL... but access is limited to the visitors, students and personnel, I think. You will have to pass the gate, in fact. And very often, you have to show a membership card or be an awaited visitor of the Library. Leave a Comment

 Fiere Margriet by marc56
After she was murdered, the bandits throw her body in the water.
But the body doesn't sink, and float on the surface.
But not only the body kept floating, it als floated against the water.
The chapel of Fiere Margriet can be seen in the Sint-Pieterschurch. Leave a Comment

Like on so many airports also in Leuven it is a good custom to bring your friends or relatives some chocolat for their good health! In Belgium you can find these shops in the pedestrian area in the larger cities, they are almost on the street, you can eat from the paper or pack in a large variety of boxes and such.
Please give it a try and taste the wonderful Belgium chocolat, it is a good way to keep fit :)
Address:
Tjokolateke
Brusselsestraat 18
3000 Leuven
Price level Oktober 2005 = 16 Euro per kilo chocolat Leave a Comment Phone: 0032-(0)16-223567

 Belgian patisserie / pastries by Christophe_Ons
It's a typical day for family visits/activities, dining out, or just kicking back at home. Practically all shops are closed. Services like banks and the post office are closed all weekend, a few exceptions (on Saturday morning only) set aside.
One thing you'll often see on Sunday mornings is people eagerly waiting at the bakery to place their order. A lot of people buy fresh bread at the bakery every day, but on Sundays it's customary to get your breakfeast rolls (either sandwiches or "pistolets", which are small round buns), maybe a pie and/or or a few "patisserie" items, which are pastries chock full of whipped cream or butter cream (cream au beurre) and/or pudding, chocolate, powder sugar and other extremely fattening ingredients. Needles to say those are delicious if you have a sweet tooth. Moreover, Belgians have this thing with chocolate, you know ...
You will basically find a good bakery in every main street of the city center. Don't hesitate to go into a place that looks busy - most of them are on a Sunday morning - that way you'll at least have time to look at the goods in the display before they take your order.
Meanwhile, see what those beefy, elderly women standing in line before you order and stuff down the huge tote bags they always seem to be carrying around. Observe and learn. Leave a Comment
