Off to Brussels - where to eat?

We had a great time even though it rained every day!

We had breakfast at - Pain Quotidien & was served enough bread for 2 days. They were Ok and in fact happy about us taking the left over rolls for our lunch.

We had the best Baguettes ever at the Love shack, near the Palace gardens. Serving free trade coffee.

Great Greek food at La Plaxa in the Greek restaurant area.

Lovely Morocan at the Kasbar with lovely red lanterns all over the ceiling.

Ate Belgium food in a place I forget.....and then lived, drank & munch enough chocolate, waffles & Icecream to sink a ship

Lovely!

Thamks for the advice

Kind regards Deborah

I have just been made redundant & to cheer me up hubby is taking me to Brussels.

We are staying in the centre, and would like local food somewhere nice & cosy but not too expensive!

Also any tasty cafes or bistros for a quick snack

thanks deborah
