Head to Maison Antoine for the best fries
Norali Says: Yes, experiencing the fries at Maison Antoine is an activity that one has to do in Brussels.The place is renowned in the whole Brussels for its non deep-freezed fries. Potatoes are peeled in there and fried for the day.It's a simple fritkot we have here. Yet, you find there...
Parc du cinquantenaire - Jubelpark & Museums
Norali Says: Discover the park with its arches and museums. I read that King Leopold II had it fit out in 1880 by Gedeon Bordiau for a special purpose: Jubilee celebration of Belgium. The concern was then to liaise Brussels center to Tervueren countryside. In fact, Avenue de...
Le Pré aux clercs: Gourmets French cuisine !
Norali Says: Well-located restaurant. Great layout. Orange-salmon walls just give a pinch of warmth... But with an open grill, it can't be different. Seats are comfortable.Really good food: fresh ingredients and an half -Italian-half-Argentinian chef who cooks French, Italian cuisine as...
Parfums d'Asie: Go there for the food, not the setting. Right?
Norali Says: One thing is sure, don't go there for the setting. Rather clean but with some kitschy and amazing decorations. Three aquariums, quite common in Asian restaurants. Some animated waterfalls paintings. An animated buddha painting. It was fun going there. Yet, the personnel was...
Shopping Malls & Streets: Italian shoes in Rue des Tongres
Norali Says: Brussels has international brands' boutiques. See them on Rue neuve with City2 mall and Inno department store (downtown). For more sophisticated and pricey clothing, rather go to Bd de Waterloo, Av. de la Toison d'or and Av. Louise. Those streets are located in same uptown...
+++ several names +++: Fancy ice cream after walks and shopping sprees?
Norali Says: A must-do after sticky hot summer walks and shopping sprees: discover homemade Belgian speculoos ice-cream. Instead of sitting at the nearest Haagen-Dazs to refresh yourself, head to a Belgian (sometimes Italian-run) ice-cream parlour. I know some good of them, all located...
Enjoying an evening in the Roseland - Albert Hall
ptitetoile Says: The Albert Hall is a wonderful ballroom situated in the heart of Etterbeek in the neighborhood called "La Chasse". For the ones who have the chance to go to a ball or evening there, don't hesitate : it is a wonderful place! This big building is Art déco, created by the...
Norali Says: It is possible to visit the top of the arches in Jubelpark / 50aire. We did it during the Brussels meeting on Nov.30.This grants you with a nice view on the center of Brussels and the South. From far, you would see most of Brussels landmarks too. Plus, it is free. Entry is...
Norali Says: This is rather funny. When I arrived in Brussels, I pronounced words ? la fran?aise. For that reason, I kept on saying "Etterb?que" instead of Etterbeek. Probably, you have to be francophone to seize the nuance in that. Anyway, I had some little embarrassement pronouncing...
Norali Says: Another type of murale.. just to remind you of the importance of Brussels as home of EU institutions.It is located accross the Leopold Park, the one next to the European parliament ("Les caprices des Dieux"). Both places are located in the EU Institutions area. Take the...
Norali Says: Hmmm... To be honest, I never thought of the EU area as a place to visit. It took me a VTmeeting, in Brussels, on Nov.10 to really visit it as a tourist would have done. Yet, in my previous job, I used to pass nearby those buildings to join my place from work... Parc 50aire...
